taking my 23 month old on an airplane for the first time and FREAKING OUT!
So tonight at 9 pm me and my son will be departing Reno NV and flying 1 1/2 hours to Portland Oregon to visit my mother for a week. And im 29 weeks pregnant. I've been having anxiety all day now. I wont be bringing the umbrella stroller because my mom bought us a new one and I want to bring that one back with me. So im worried what will I do with him trying to run off while we are waiting at the gate for possibly an hour? How will i carry him through the airport while carrying the diaper bag and pulling my rolling carryon and being big and pregnant? Its hard for me to carry him hes heavy. I can't bring a sippy cup because of the liquids rule. Or food. Airport food is too expensive. I worry about if I will have a screaming unruly toddler on the plane. Oh and he is sitting on my lap the whole way. With my belly. I've already give him his nap for today and im thinking if I keep him awake the rest of the day, give him dinner then a nice bath right before we leave he will sleep the whole time. Is that the right plan? What if he IS sleeping on the plane and I have to pee?? I am pregnant so that's highly likely. What do I do with him? Im really working myself up with all this. Any advice or tips? Please share. If it were up to me I would've gotten him his own seat but my mom bought the ticket and I can't afford another seat. I can't afford airport food or drink. I cannot afford to stress out so bad I complicate my physical state. HELP!
