Good Monday, everyone

[dreemkin]

I hope you are having a good start to the week. Care to share?!

[aggiebug]

Hello! I am chilling while DD and my mom make muffins. DS is such a good helper hahahahah. Eating half the ingredients before they get in the mix

S really could get out to the park but I am not ready to do that myself and with Caleb and my parents say it's too cold. Oh well.

[dreemkin]

Now N has a fever (A had it last week). So we are chilling today; aka letting them watch all the Wonder Pets they want. But I am getting stuff done around the house which feels great! I think I'm going to get the china cabinet back in order when A naps.

[aggiebug]

Poor girls. I hope N feels better soon.

[aggiebug]

I think I should be concerned about my child. She grabs her Mickey and Minnie, looks at us and says 'oven' and promptly marches to her play kitchen and puts them in her oven. LOL.

[dmorgendorffer]

oh boy aggiebug, kids are so bizarre sometimes.

dreemkin hope you all get healthy!

At work today. I have my NT scan on Wednesday and DH threw away our referral form this weekend. I got the appointment reminder call and they stressed that you need to bring the referral form so I'm trying to get that figured out without any of my coworkers overhearing.

Putting the cart a little before horse (or maybe along side it!) but.... What do I need for 2 kids!! -- double stroller, better/bigger diaper bag... Time to research!

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin like for everything but N's fever.
dmorgendorffer hope you get the form sorted. When are you telling work about your pregnancy?
agm04 how're you feeling? When's your first OB/midwife appointment?

[lilyelayne]

Chill morning here too. Played outside, took a walk (it's finally cool enough for midday babywearing walks!), ate lunch outside. Nothing big planned this week.

[agm04]

lilyelayne i want to try wearing DD for a walk soon now that it's cooled down. good idea! thanks for checking on me! i'm pretty nauseated, but so happy to be pregnant...that helps. i actually had an appt at 6 weeks. saw the heartbeat on ultrasound, yay, and my next appt isn't until 12/1.

i'm taking a huge exam tomorrow, which i've been waking up at 5 am to study for for the last month, so i will be VERY happy to have that done!

I'm not sure if he would stay on he's a little small still maybe the sit and stand one?

[dreemkin]

2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) we never did the double stroller thing. N was just always a really good toddler and walked so sorry no advice. And we used the same diaper bag for both although it did get tight when they were both in diapers...

Big one in the stroller; wear the little one? Hopefully by the time you want #2 in the stroller, you can trust R to walk or invest in a toddler leash :-)

Other than that, I've heard people say they prefer double strollers that are one seat behind the next, not side by side, because it's easier to navigate in stores and such.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Haha In theory I would get a toddler leash but dw wouldn't let me.

We got a double stroller. DD is a pretty good listener but we felt a stroller at this age difference is just nice. We got the city select double stroller used on Craigslist (it was an amazing find). We just go enough places and do enough day adventures we didn't feel we could do a single stroller yet. We also found a $50 running double stroller we picked up.

I also picked up a lilliebaby carrier since the ones I had were ok but I felt I would be using them a lot more with this guy.

I want one. I'll even let DS pick out the backpack. Would she feel better if you called them trying cords or walking cords?
