Woah!! Sometimes I nearly fall over when I see myself in the mirror. There are some very unglamorous things about pregnancy! It's all worth it, but I'm glad it's not swimsuit weather.We had a fun weekend. I found out that ANOTHER girl at work is expecting! There are about 25 women on our floor, and 3 of us are pregnant with due dates only weeks apart. We went out to lunch Friday, and we're going to do lunch every week to talk babies. It's fun to share tips, and we're going to band together to get a better space for pumping. Right now the company has designated a hot, dingy storage room.
The sun was shining on Saturday for the second time this year (!), so Adam and I walked around a cute area of town. Little Guy got his first taste of a Winchell's donut (delicious!). Today we finally got to see the inside of the rental house, and it's a go! It's an old, small house in a cute little community, and we can't wait to move in. We'll be moving in less than 3 weeks!
We need baby gear advice! Some things have been easy to pick out, but we are at a loss for what stroller/infant seat combo to go with. I'm also curious which diaper brands are the best value. Any advice/tips are welcome!

Hi Julie,
I just found your blog :) Love it!
Since you asked....
As far as diapers, we use cloth and save a ton of money that way. I could go on forever about how much I love them, but I know it's not for everybody. I'll just say that ours are not the old fashioned flat diapers. They're really easy and it's not as gross as you'd think.
Before that, we used Luvs and I was happy with them. They are inexpensive. I splurged on Swaddlers when Daniel was a newborn and I loved them, of course. But they're expensive.
Strollers - I wish I'd gotten a snap n go with the infant seat instead of a giant travel system. Oh how I hated that stroller. I never used it, and got a Maclaren Quest when Daniel was 3 months. It is so worth the money - it has been down many airplane chutes, on hundreds of walks, etc and is in great shape. Oh, and if you do want a travel system, I've heard good things about the Chico. We have the Baby Trend. Love the seat, hate the stroller.
And you don't have a double chin :)
