A Cure

This pregnancy has been so far absolutely nothing like my first. I never once experienced nausea or morning sickness last time, and really only had extreme fatigue. This time, I'm sick sick sick and totally sick of it. I should (knock-on-wood) be nearing the end of this awful phase, but in the meantime, I have discovered the best cure for me (besides Subway, a Zofran, and a 4 hour nap of course). Online shopping! Having 2 really young kids, one of each gender, you would be right to assume we don't need anything, but I remember packing up my baby stuff just a few short months ago and making mental notes of the things that would definitely need replacing or sprucing up. Here are a few things I'm planning on...

Just bought this stroller. I'm really excited about it. You know I'm a stroller hoarder, so don't die of shock but I have sold all my others to justify buying this one. It will be my last and final stroller. I did a lot of research, and I think it fits all my needs, and means now I can just own one instead of 3. It should get here tomorrow and I plan to overdose on Zofran so we can take a trip to the mall and test it out!

We have WAY WAY too many baby blankets, but I love blankets and always wished my kids would get attached to one. Boss never did and Naomi is just barely into "blankies" which seems a little too late so I'm not giving in to it, but these are to die for in every way. I want this print for sure. I think they are pretty gender neutral, don't you? Besides, we are pretty sure we know what we are having anyway... we will find out for sure at the end of the month.

I also came across the best blog post the other day. Read it here. I wish my baby stuff wasn't in storage so I could just try it out now and see if her strategy really works. Do you have any great tips? Aren't stained, but still new-ish and darling, baby clothes the worst?

So that's really not that much, right? I'm sure he/she will get a few new little layettes, but I'm hoping all my newborn size winter stuff will work just fine.

Oh, the only other purchase we plan to make before this one arrives in October, is one of these babies. That's right, don't be jealous. I can't believe I have gotten John on board to buy me a mini-van but he got there somehow, and I couldn't be happier. Plus, with gas being like 4/gallon, a big SUV does not sound so appealing to me. We have looked at a few and are pretty sold on the Odyssey, but won't buy one until August or September probably. It's going to be the best day ever.

Look, I'm feeling better already. I told you, it's a cure. Doctors should prescribe it.
