When preparing for Lucy’s arrival we did TONS of research on baby gear. Whats the best carseat, stroller, crib, etc. For the most part we think we did a pretty darn good job. Well…almost. While we love our Chicco stroller the thing is HUGE! I takes up our entire trunk when we go anywhere and is very cumbersome at best. So, tomorrow is shop for a smaller stroller day!

Lets be honest I love shopping…for anything really, but our need for new gear since Lucy was born has been nuts! Because she was a preemie she needed different and more specialized things than a normal term baby needed. So, for example, she doesn’t just have a crib. She has a crib, a bassinet, and a rock n’ play. Anything to help her be somewhat comfortable with her horrible reflux.

I can’t say we are super stoked to get another stroller (yes I am really, but I feel like I should act somewhat remorseful for a bad stroller purchase to make Josh happy ) but at last we are coming up on spring and summer and after a whole winter and fall of being shut up in the house due to the cold, mommy needs to get out!! And in order to get out we need a stroller that can fit in the car along with…well…anything else really.

So, wish us luck! I’m hoping for either the Maclaren or the Uppababy but we shall see. I will post pics when we decide!

Tonight I was reading another moms blog and thinking “I should do that”.  Then I remembered that I do that already and that maybe I should get on that. So, here we are!

Her very first pair of Guess Jeans.  Oh yes my friends you heard me.  Most of us can remember their first pair of Guess jeans.  How cute they looked, how amazing you felt in them.  Well little Miss Lucy got her first pair today.  I think maybe her mommy is a little more excited about them than she is, but one day, one day she will understand the glory that is the Guess Jeans.

Today we had our “big” ultrasound where they would do an anatomy scan to make sure everything was ok with the baby and then tell us the sex of the baby.  We were so excited we could hardly sleep!  So we go in to the ultrasound room with the tech, who was VERY unfriendly and completely devoid of any and all personality, and she started the ultrasound.  After about 30 minutes of our hour long ultrasound she says she can’t see anything and says that she is going to have the doctor come in.  He comes in and does about a 5 minute ultrasound and says “yeah we can’t see anything you must be hard to scan come back in three weeks”.

This is NOT a smart thing to tell a tired pregnant lady who just wants to know her baby is ok and to know if its a boy or a girl.  Needless to say we left with me in tears and called the moms to let them know that we knew nothing.

So, being that I’m totally unwilling to let the issue go, I schedule a 3D ultrasound and a third party facility.  Next day after about a minute of scanning we have a result!!!  Its a……..

Every year Disneyland has a theme and this years theme is “What are you celebrating”.  When you first walk into the park there is this huge bouquet of balloons with a sign that says “What are you Celebrating?”, so, we decided to get out picture taken pointing out what we are celebrating!  Peewee’s first trip to Disneyland!  We were even able to snag reservations  at out favorite restaurant Blue Bayou were we have celebrated every big event in our relationship.  We can’t wait till he or she is big enough to enjoy all the fun of Disneyland.

Yup, there's a baby in there!
