Oh Baby, did we get some equipment!

1. Baby Jogger City Elite Stroller


Absolutely love this jogger stroller and it blows the Phil and Ted out of the water!! It has more bells and whistles than I have ever seen! We bought the sand/beige colour.

2. Baby Jogger City Elite Stroller Attachment for 2nd child


This is the attachment that we will buy when Baby Smith #2 comes (most likely another boy!). It easily fits 2 large toddlers or an infant and a toddler. I love the seat and how it sits in front and not close to the ground like the Phil & Ted. Still lots of storage space underneath the stroller at all times!


3. Bel Air Jolly Jumper Cradle



Absolutely love this cradle and can't wait for Baby Boy Smith to sleep in it for naps and at night (fingers crossed that he sleeps!)


4. Graco Snugride 32 Car Seat



Love this car seat as he will be able to use it to 32lbs and 32", unlike other infant seats which are only good until 20-22lbs.

People have also been asking what our Bugaboo stroller looks like so here it is:



Its a wonderful stroller that also turns on a dime and very easy to maneouver. We also have a running board (skate board like) that attaches to the stroller for larger children.

Our wonderful crib was put together by dear husband and he was very patient while he put it together!



Oh, and I forgot to mention that there is a cute rug that has roads on it to drive cars and city towers surrounding it!

Here We Go!

Well it looks like Baby DeGrace Smith may finally be really happening, and dh and I could not be more excited! We found out Tuesday August 25th, and I knew before taking the test that it had happened. Days before dh kept looking at me and asking what was wrong. I kept dropping everything for days, balance as off and I "just felt different". I know you are probably thinking, whatever, you didn't know until the test. But I will tell you that I was off enough (and so freakin eager) that I took the pregnancy test 4 days early and it came out a big YES! I then immediately peed on a second one to show dh to make sure. I didn't tell him I was taking the first one as I thought he may of said stop wasting money on those tests, in agreement with him they are expensive! Okay confession here, I don't actually pee on the stick. I find the whole thing a little challening. I actually peed in one of our porcelain cups that we use in our bathroom. DH was disgusted and even after it went through the dishwasher at least 4 times I don't think we will ever use either of the cups in the bathroom. We just don't know which one as the "pee one". We'll see though, in one of those dark nights of constant breastfeeding and no sleeping and if I am thirsty enough it probably won't really matter. I find it much easier to pee in a larger cup than try to watch and let my stream hit the stick in the right spot. Dídn't want to mess this Big Test up! Both tests were for sure, so I calmly called DH down and he looked and with a big smile said its right, we are having a baby!

Of course I took pictures of the pee stick, thinking ahead of baby books and such. Now I just have to remember to actually pull them off the camera and organize it on the computer. I swear though I will not be one of those people who actually post their pee stick picture on facebook. Somethings are better left for private.

So here we are starting a new journey....

stay posted through our joyful journey, and I am sure there will be bumps along the way!
