OK! This is great! Thanks so much!

We chose the last two rows in coach - no one will have to be right next to us. We will offer to buy drinks and I will do whatever I can to keep the 9 month old quiet. But I'm still terrified. I just know that she makes noise even when she's happy in her own home.

When I was childfree I handed out my fair share of disapproving looks so I know I have bad plane karma coming back my way.

We've talked about driving but I guess it takes a week to drive from Chicago to California. I've looked into trains and even buses - we just don't have a choice.

If you are going ORD-SJC in June and you are on our flight - I'm truly sorry.
