The Car seat

A few weeks ago Willis' parents gave us the travel system we had registered for. We were so excited. This was one of the few items we picked out before knowing the gender of the baby. The whole stroller/car seat situation left me feeling very overwhelmed. Have you seen the selection at Buy Buy Baby?!? It's enough to invoke panic on any new mom who knew nothing about travel systems. So how did we choose? Well we like very classic styles and we loved this one that is simply black and silver. It looked great and would go great for boy or girl. I know so different than anything else I have done with this pregnancy. All of the clothes and decor are very much girly but the staples i.e. travel system, pack and play and high chair are fairly neutral. We got the Chicco Keyfit 30. I love it! I have pushed the stroller around the house many times now and it is super easy to fold up. The car seat is so easy to put in and out of the base as well as the stroller. So this morning, the start of April Willis went outside and installed the car seat in the V-Dub. I think he had been dreading do this part, but it didn't take him long at all. Great job hubby! The black and silver combo looks awesome in my car. Miss Abby stood by watching Willis this morning and had to hop in the car as soon as he was finished to check out the new seat. I think it gets her seal of approval :-)

We also have a pack and play that matches that my parents gave us. I will post pics of that later. Willis has become a pro at the assembly and take down :-) My parents also gave us their video recorder. They had only used it once and so it was great getting that from them so we didn't have to buy one. I played around with it the other night filming Abby (who loves the camera I must add) and it was easy to work. So that's another thing checked off my to do list. Today I just finished Izzie's last load of laundry and now I'm going to finish packing her hospital bag. All we will have left to do is finish packing our bag and we will be set! Less than 27 days! But I have a feeling it won't be that long before baby Izzie comes out to meet us all.
