hello all my friends! i feel like i need to re-introduce myself as it has been so long since i wrote.
john and i had a fun adventure this weekend. we decided to head to babies 'r us on saturday. off topic...but this is why we went...this past weekend was my last "real" weekend with my hubs for about 4 months. we are entering football season. it is an entire season of its own. it doesn't share with fall. it is just football. he coaches at Crown College, so it is non stop from here till nov!
anyway, back to babies 'r us... we walk in, all excited to see cribs, strollers, car seats, etc. we start down aisle 1 (after making our way through the adorable clothes). so many cribs, dressers, changing tables and rockers. my oh my those prices! we will look past those for now and enjoy this. off to strollers, which spanned about 4 aisles. do we get one with a car seat or without? we tried for about 10 minutes getting the car seat off one of the strollers to see what it looked like without it, but we gave up after several looonnngg stares from passer-byers. we decided to look at the separate strollers and car seats (another 2 aisles). too many to look at....starting to go crazy.
off to the other 12 bazillion aisles with the "must-haves" that every good parent gets! we were not even half way down the first aisle, which contained bottles and baby video monitors, and john stopped. turned back around and said, "we need to leave. i am overwhelmed. we need something from every aisle!". guess those "good" parents have a lot more patience than we do right now. i promise we will buy so many unnecessary little trinkets, warmers and cushions for our child...but this was not the weekend.
so, back to the ever so cute baby clothes...it eased our minds and were fun to look at. we picked out the "come home from hospital" outfits if baby is a girl or a boy. john picked out some rather adorable girls clothes with pink, frills, rhinestones and sparklies. i was a proud mamma....if this is a girl :)
we decided no more shopping until we know the gender of our baby. more so it is an excuse, but it is really a lot to take in.
11 days...then we will know boy or girl! can't wait!! :)

I highly recommend the graco snug ride car seats with a corresponding stroller, you will thank yourself later when you can just stick the seat into the stroller and go rather than unbuckle from seat, wrangle out, put in stroller, re-strap in. and it does take some time to figure out how they attach/disattach so don't let that freak you out. :)
so i know that "snug ride car seats" should mean something to me...but it doesn't....yet :)
we were looking for a jogging stroller and/or chicco brand, i think that is what it was called.
my mom is going to help me shop this fall...cuz we all know i am a bit baby lingo challenged right now :)
