a day of "firsts" - part 1

today is a BIG day. we made our first purchase for baby p. (actually we made it last night at like 10:30pm, but still). even though the whole stroller/car seat process was a bit overwhelming this weekend, we have done our research ahead of time and knew exactly what brand we wanted. britax or chicco. either of those brands had very similar looking "travel systems" (am i using the right lingo??? :)). they were red and grey...very universal for future children.


anyway, one of them went on closeout last night...AHHHH...PANIC!!! we went from overwhelmed-i-can't-decide to we-wanted-it-and-now-must-buy-it mode. of course we sat down for 2 hours and did more research to be 100% sure it is what we truly wanted (and what baby p wanted). this whole process started online at about 7:30pm and didn't end until 10:30pm...call us crazy...but i just know EVERY purchase for lil' babes can't take us 3 hours!!!!



we got free shipping - which means 2 days i guess - so the "travel system" gets here on Wednesday by 8pm. E X C I T E D. maybe this is just the inspiration we needed to make the rest of the decisions...for starters...which room are we going to use as the nursery...hmm...


well that is all for this post...i will make a part 2 since my blogger won't let me upload another image...

stay tuned.

Those kinds of decisions are hard to make. I ended up buying 2 travel systems because I got such a good deal on the first one only to find a better one cheaper than the first. I returned to first. At least you have something to keep you busy while John is at football..lots of shopping and deciding.

Oh, you look cute as ever!
