Weird is what excites me sometimes these days. We picked up our first real piece of baby equipment yesterday found through Craigslist...a double snap and go stroller! Yay, in really great condition from a family with twins of their own a bargain at $40 brand new they cost $90 so we made a bit of a saving there. I think this is going to be a must during the first few months. Course now we need the car seats to go with it but it's a start...no really it is.
We have picked out a lot of the nursery furniture as well, we are going for cherry wood cribs etc, mostly because our room is white and well yes who wants white on white in a nursery? We will probably order those over the weekend. I need to go out and test chairs on the weekend tho for nursing I think. I don't want anything too small as I'm going to need to be able to handle both babies at once so it needs to be roomie enough for three. Only downer I had was the dresser/changing table is going to cost us more than the cribs! Every review I've seen on the cheaper ones is that they lack durability and they are awful to construct, so we are going to bite the bullet and get a better one with the functionaility we want for now and for the future as we want it to be a dresser as they get older I don't want one that's going to look beaten up before the kids even arrive! The complaints often are that they get damaged just putting them together. I know the furniture is going to get beaten up that's a fact of life with kids...but if we are doing the damage and we are careful imagine what they will look like once the kids get a hold of it and start chewing on the corners?
I do need to figure out the diaper business tho and what we will need in terms of disposal. If we go for a diaper service I will call and get pricings I think, and compare that to the cost of disposables, I will have to find out how I need to handle them for pick up. Bah way to much to think about!
Oh and I'm doing one of the prenatal classes on the weekend lets see if I can make it through without passing out...as most of these are on the weekend I'm wondering just how many I'm going to be going to solo. Ah well we shall try to make sure Jagr makes the really important ones. I'm more concerned he gets to go to the infant care than the one where we learn all about the birthing proceedure. Given that I suspect he's either just going to be trying to ignore most of what is going on during that or passed out it's probably not so useful for him anyway :)
Oh and of course the Dr is now oh and do you have a pediatrican...argh! Too much information I have only just gotten over the shock of being pregnant! Trying to digest all of this and keep a sane head work and go through the process of carrying these two I'm exhausted mentally and physically and I know it's only going to get worse!
