Re: Positive comments from strangers!

[Guest guest]

Thats great Mish! Certainly makes things easier. We've had mostly

good experiences too, but certainly our share of the others too

(like the lady falling on her face!). Today I had a vascular

surgeon ask me what it was for!

Mish,

Thanks for sharing your story with us! I'm glad you're not having to

deal with rude people.

Thanks Mish, that's great! I was thinking of posting the same. On

one of our first trips out I met a grandma and daycare teacher who

knew all about it, said it was great that I was taking care of it and

went on and on with nothing but good things to say. We haven't had a

negative experience either. YAY!

Mish,

So glad to hear you are having good experiences. We feel very lucky

to be in the same boat. I think maybe living in Dallas, there are so

many people who at least know someone that had their baby in a band.

I hear so many success stories. We have 2 1/2 months to go, and hope

things stay positive. We have had the funny concerned questions

like, " Is that because he falls down a lot? " The people seem

concerned and nice enough.
