We finished our classes, so I guess we're ready???

Manny and I just finished all of our classes: Breastfeeding, Newborn Necessities, and Lamaze.  We had great instructors, so the classes were better than we were expecting.  Some of the stuff we already knew, but it was nice to have a focus on what we would need to be doing in less than a few weeks!  It definitely put things in perspective and made this seem even more real.  I don't feel AS freaked out about the whole process, but once it all happens, that may be a different story. . . Haha. .  .I guess we'll see!  It all made sense in the classes, so we're as ready as we can be!  Now it's just a waiting game until the lil' guy arrives!

Riding in style

So as Manny and I started researching which stroller to buy (we research EVERYTHING first), we were overwhelmed with "What would be best for us.". After much thought and consideration, we were set on buying the Bugaboo Donkey. The only problem, it would be released "in the Spring." Our thoughts: WHEN in Spring??, Would it be out in time before Keaton arrived?, Where can we buy one?

As we kept checking on the updates (every day), we came to find it would be released in April sometime, would not be available for purchase online at first, and would only be available to purchase at select retail stores... Great.

Being the impatient person I am, I looked up which retailers would have them and called the Nordstrom at South Coast Plaza. Good thing I did! They were only getting 6 strollers and had already pre-sold 4 of them! So of course we jumped at the opportunity to pre-sale the item!!! We were told it would be in on April 1st!

So March 31st comes around and I call to see if it was still coming in April 1st..."It's been pushed back to April 6th" =(.  So April 6th comes around and it STILL hasn't come in! This went on every day until the big day finally arrived!! We got the call that it was finally in and rushed over to pick it up!

We are SO excited to have it and can't wait to put it to use!!!  It is truly THE stroller for kids and goods!

"Welcome to your last month of pregnancy"

Wow! Manny read this sentence to me and I froze for a second! Last month??!!! Now I'm getting nervous!

I still have a couple weeks of work left, and I hope I can make it! All I want to do is come home and rest before the baby comes! The nursery is all set up, the car seat is installed, now if I can just make myself wash all the baby stuff and pack for the hospital, we'd be set!

We are so excited for this little one! Me, especially, for some selfish reasons... Haha. I've had to basically eliminate all my sweets, which has been torture! I can't wait to satisfy my sweet tooth! On top of that, I'm wanting all the things I can't have, like my triple shots of espresso from Starbucks =(. Boy do I love this little boy!
