I am still pregnant... still sick. yes, I am still sick. I do not, however throw up all the time... just every now and then. I am nauseous every singly day. I have to find out if I have GD (gestational diabetes) but I do get the joy of getting a shot in my butt because I am RH- and my husband is not. I am counting the days down for this.
My husband and I are having a boy. We have picked out a name, you can ask me if you want to know. I won't be posting it here. We have finally organized our 'office' to look a little more presentable for a baby. A family from church gave us a brand new crib. That was awesome and should save us about oh... 300$. We would have bought used anyway but it's at least 50$ we won't have to spend.
We have now moved on to strollers and car seats. Thankfully a friend has graciously given us a brand new car seat that her son has only used for like ten weeks because he grew out it! Talk about a tank of a kid. Haha. Strollers on the other hand are ridiculous. You can buy a stroller for everything. I was thinking about getting one of those red wagon - radio flyers and towing my baby around in that. Although, running with it may prove difficult and I could see the baby bouncing out. Now I've looked at websites describing different usages for strollers. It seems ridiculous to pay $600 for a stroller that you cannot use for the rest of your life. I wonder if the iPad has a stroller application. I would pay for the iPad to get the app. I just do not understand the reason why they have to be so bloody expensive. Even still, I want a website that I can go to where I can click on some options of what I would want the stroller to be and then the website generating some options for me. If you are aware of said website, please let me and the rest of the world know. With the price of strollers, I have expect them to have airbags, hydraulics or a USB connector for my iPod. Sadly, none have these options. So the online window shopping continues.

I know all about the butt shot. Just wait until the kid is born and if he has +ve blood...that means another shot in the bum for you!!
And let me know if you are lucky enough to belong to the GD group. I'll be happy to talk you through it and be your sponsor for those late night m&m (or whatever your addiction) cravings.
You have a name already??? Good for you guys! We are still working on it, feel free to tell me your so I can steal it. Kidding!!! Unless it was one of the names we've thrown back and forth already, but I doubt it.
Baby things are ridiculously expensive especially when you buy everything girly and have a boy for your 2nd. Strollers...yah you can spend a buttload. We bought one of the Graco travel systems and I think it was like $150 maybe, they are good. Depends on what you need it for. I know of no magic stroller website, and if you want one for running...I am even less help. We bought the sit and stand this time around. Check craigslist for running/jogging strollers if that's what you want. As for everyday strollers, think ab out how much it's going to get used and if it is more for going to the mall or walking around the zoo. if it's going to be like a car for the kid, McLaren's are nice and not too expensive, but if it's just going to get used for mall walking and the such Graco and Chicco type ones are good.
Ya, I had GD. I was in the best shape that pregnancy! Amazing what eating healthy and exercise will do for the body ;o)
Strollers are super expensive but you have to consider how often you'll actually use it. Be honest with yourselves. We picked up a Graco and it went through almost 4 kids. It would've gone through more if 'someone' didn't leave it outside during a storm.
I can say that when (not if) you come up to visit we'll be more than happy to take Jr out for a stroll in our pram! :o)
Happy Buggy Hunting!
