carseats and strollers

So I've been doing a crap ton of research on various baby items, mostly carseats and strollers. It's exhausting. Why do there have to be so many choices? I find something I like, then I immediately second guess my decision and wonder, "Is there a better one?" Uggg. I usually like things plain and simple (do I really need a sound system in my stroller?) - but my own thinking is what complicates matters in trying to find the most reasonable options. Which is ironic. If I liked the bells and whistles and the most popular of things no matter the cost - my job/research would be done. Strollers, I have found, can be quite ridiculous.

Questions I ask myself...
* How much am I really going to use it? Really?
* Will I be sad if it gets dirty or scratched?
* Is someone going to stalk me at the zoo waiting for it to be left unattended so that they might steal it and sell it on ebay?
* Am I going to need some sort of insurance policy on it?
* Hmmm, pay the rent or get this one?
* Will I be irritated everytime I think about how much we paid for this, when it's just a stupid stroller?

This questions have allowed me to narrow down our numerous choices considerably. Now the choice doesn't seem so hard. Now, deciding on a color is a whole different to do list.

Welcome

So I decided to start a blog. One hope in doing this is to possibly do a better job of keeping in touch with family and friends. I do not plan on making it a soapbox or a play by play of each day. But more of a sketch of things happening in my life, which at this point, is mostly pregnant stuff.

Enjoy!

So to start things off...
