Getting Ready for #3

Meatball likes to joke and say we have kids every year now.  Actually, he says "my girl be havin mo' kids and mo' kids." Yup, he's mine, even the gangster part.  The truth is we did just have a baby last year, in May of 2012.  This one is coming in September 2013.  Moral of the story - Drs. can be wrong when they tell you it's going to be REALLY hard to get pregnant when your breastfeeding.  I got pregnant when Pierce was 7 months old full-time nursing.  Take that Dr. P!  Two months ahead of our schedule but God apparently had a different timetable.  And really what's 2 months?  SO is there really a point in putting the "stuff" away?  Swing, exercauser, jumper, etc.  I think not!  I can still manage to put Pierce in the jumper and exercauser for 5 minutes while I vacuum or put laundry away. After his initial protests, he is happy.  He started walking at 10 months so I need somewhere to put him or I would get nothing done.  If all else fails, there is always the crib.   Back to getting ready.  Digging out the nursing bras, the pump, buying super ginormous pads (tmi?), cute hospital gown, boppy, adding cloth diapers to my "stash" and buying cute shirts for the boys!!  OK The last one was my favorite. 

I found these on etsy and I just ordered them.  I can't wait to get the boys in them.  Funny Pierce will be a big brother at 16 months?  Crazy.  I ordered the red ones on the left.  And yes personalized just for my bestie who hates how I need everything personalized.  Thankfully, we purchased a big Yukon that has a 3rd row seat, Brady is going to be sitting in the waaaay back.  I still need to purchase a double stroller and retire the sit-n-stand.  And I am coveting the city mini side-by-side stroller.   

The stone color is actually last years model so sadly it is no longer available.  We saw a ton of these when we were in Disney and after reading the reviews I think we will be happy.  Red seems to be pretty popular, but a lot of the ones we saw were really faded.  My Italian husband thinks everything should be either black or white so I'm guessing he will vote for the black.  I just need to make sure it will fit in the truck with the seat in the 3rd row.  My truck has 6 bucket seats, 2 of which are downstairs.  When we get a little closer to Fall, I will have the hubs bring up the seat and put it in.  Then we can take a measurement. If it fits, it will be mine! Right after I take out a 2nd mortgage, Lol.  And of course the accessories are all separate, trays, bar, parent console.  I think every stroller should come with a freaking cupholder for the parent.  Don't they know caffeine is what we are running on when we start the day at 6:30 and we need a place for it!?!  The hubs will never understand why we are adding a 5th stroller to our collection.  But duh! we like totally need it. Besides someday I will have that kick-ass garage sale and make loads and loads of money back, right?  Yeah probably not, but that is what we are telling ourselves.
