Baby Ride.

Pulling into our driveway after work today I noticed a giant box on our doorstep. Read the box as I am trying to park the car and noticed it has the Chicco name brand on it. Now I know that is the brand of our carseat and we had ordered it 2 1/2 weeks ago. But no way. This carseat was backordered until late May. Trust me. I called the manufacturer to check on the expected arrival date because my heart was really set on this carseat in the green color. We still took our chanced ordering it and crossed our fingers.
Guess What though!! It was our carseat. In the green color!! :) Hooray!

Since we just got our stroller on Monday and the carseat today. We had to give them a test drive and set them up together to see how they adapted together. Let me tell you. Its a match made in heaven. It's an awesome combo together and it seems easy and light enough for me to use.

(For prego's out there in the shopping mode, here are the details of the products because I know a few weeks ago I was in that same boat wondering how in the heck to pick one carseat and stroller out of the SO MANY options!)

Stroller-- Baby Jogger City Mini (Black/Black color)
Carseat- Chicco Keyfit 30 (Midori color)

Both items had awesome reviews by so many users and not really many negative features listed. The carseat is lighter than most other carseats and is very user friendly. Not to mention one of the safest seats.
Stroller was listed as being light also and has all the bells and whistles you need but at an affordable price! Score!

Here is the setup! :) (Gee can you tell we are first time parents--so excited about the baby ride haha)

25 Weeks.

25 Weeks and Mini Bee is an EGGPLANT...

and we made it to Month 6!!

Mini Bee now will be in the eggplant range for weeks 25-28. 

Baby Development: 
Mini Bee is starting to perfect blinking his eyes, is soaking up my antibodies to get his immune system ready for life outside my tummy and at this point would have hair on his head. 

Mommy Symptoms: 
I have been feeling more and more tired lately and definitely can tell when I do not take it easy in the classroom. The kid chairs in my classroom are getting less uncomfortable and the last few nights I have gotten cramps in my calves. Oh yeah, I have to pee constantly! Allergies also seem to be kicking in since its that time of the year but still avoiding taking allergy meds.

Food Cravings: 
Fruit!! (Strawberries, Bananas, Pineapple)

Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt. Flavors Vanilla and Red Velvet Cake with cocoa pebbles, fruity pebbles, brownie bites, and gummi bears on top. Amazing!

This Week's Purchases:
Our Baby Jogger City Mini Stroller (super light and easy to steer)

Chicco Keyfit 30 Carseat in Midori color (A carseat with some of the best reviews)

A start of a wardrobe from Gymboree (includes some caterpillar outfits) Too cute!
(You will have to see Mini Bee to see the outfits)

What I am Looking Forward to:
Receiving the above purchases in the mail
School Break. Only one more month of school before my kiddos are out for Summer.
Most days I look forward to sleep and/or naps :)

This Week's Classroom Reactions to Belly/Baby: 
One child everyday will rub my belly when leaving school and say "I love your baby". Before the belly it was "Merry Christmas" but now that the bump reminds her it changed to "I Love Your Baby". 
Another child during lunch today was watching me eat. He asked if the baby eats what I eat and I explained that the food goes in me and the baby gets to eat the food too so he can grow. He then asked "if the baby gets too big will your tummy explode?" It was such an honest and cute question.


Enough info for you? I would guess so that means time for bed :)
