Part of the fun of being pregnant is deciding on all of the fun stuff for the baby. The two most important things to me were the car seat and the stroller. Fortunately for me, I had two other experienced baby gear researchers in my corner that were willing to share some of their expertise. This way, all I had to do was decide on a color!
Nina and my cousin (who is a brand new mommy) both recommended the Bumbleride Flyer for the stroller. The Bumbleride Flyer is so versatile! The handle flips around so you can either push from behind or have the handle positioned so you can face the baby. The other great thing about the Bumbleride is that it is compatible with the Graco Snugride car seat.
The car seat (that we received as a shower gift) will arrive today and I’m seconds away from ordering our stroller. I’m excited to get the car seat in the car to make sure it fits and make sure we know how to use it! I’m also eager to learn how to work the stroller so I don’t embarrass myself in the parking lot of the mall while trying to figure out how to open it and collapse it!

I had my 28.5 week check up yesterday and because of some issues at the 20 week appointment, I was scheduled to have a regular ultrasound. The doctor wanted to check for a couple of things again and see if they had changed in eight weeks. The ultrasound technician told us that we could “upgrade” to a 4D ultrasound if we wanted to and only pay $50 instead of $150. We took her up on it.
We saw two tiny ears, a round nose that was kind of smushed in there, and some huge baby cheeks! It’s kind of hard to make out what you’re looking at in the picture above, but it’s the side of his face with his hand over his mouth.
That’s all you get! I gotta save some surprises for when he makes his debut into the world.

I was awakened at 1:45 this morning by my husband talking to me… loudly. I sat straight up in bed and said, “What did you say?”
The rest of the conversation went like this:
I don’t have much experience with people talking in their sleep. One of my best friends does some sleep walking and talking and I was always able to talk her back into bed, but it’s a little different when your lifetime bed partner is quoting Ernest P. Worrell in the middle of the night.
p.s. We had a 4D ultrasound of our precious baby boy today, but the “Ernest talking in your sleep” story trumped the 4D ultrasound story for blog material. More on the ultrasound coming tomorrow.
