Hello!So I've been feeling pretty crappy the last few days with a bad cold....it's the first I've had pregnant (which I should be happy about!) But it really does suck to not be able to take my normal concoction of cold remedies...I think I may have gotten a grand total of 2 hours of sleep last night...not fun. So, instead of sleeping, I decided to delve into the book "Baby Bargains". It seems really good in that it independently reviews products in all categories, but at the same time, I find it all a little overwhelming....there is so much to think about!!
Also, so much changes in baby gear land all the time....tough to make the big decisions like crib, stroller,etc. when each place I look (online customer reviews, this book, other books, other moms) recommend something different. Oh well, I guess it's just part of the process...and don't get me wrong-shopping for baby gear is fun!!! Speaking of fun, I'm currently working with a fabulous Etsy seller to make baby boy's crib bedding....here's a picture of the curtains and walls in his room:
They were already done when we moved into our house, as the previous owner won the home in a hospital lotto....it's great for us that the designer already made this bedroom a cute little boys' room! Now, it's all about coordinating things to these colors. I'm looking forward to seeing how his crib bedding turns out:) We tried to do a little crib and stroller scouting yesterday....of course we loved the gorgeous Pali cribs at The Royal Diperer, but we also found a really nice, quality "Gluckstein" brand crib at The Bay t
hat we liked, that is much more affordable. In terms of strollers, I think I've settled on getting a Phil and Ted's, and getting the optional adapter so an infant carseat can attach to it for the first 4 months or so....I don't think getting a whole system first, and then getting a separate jogging stoller makes sense for us. I also love the optional second seat that the Phil and Teds offers...it can convert to a boucy seat now, and later on go in the stroller for a second child...brilliant!

That was pretty much our shopping experience....slowly, things will come together. If anyone has any suggestions for baby gear, or any ideas for baby boy's nursery, I'm all ears!!Hopefully I'll be feeling better for my 27 week update!!
