So much to tell you! First, my parents were here this weekend - I love, love, love spending time with them. They are so easy to be around, full of laughs and great conversation and food (helloooo Jaspers!). They have been so supportive of all the changes in our lives, definitely different discussion topics and errand-running than this time last year ;-) I think it was when we hit the multi-level stroller section of Buy Buy Baby that my dad finally conceded! Here is a pic of my mom and me before they left today...can't wait til they come back to visit!
Speaking of my parents and their high threshold of patience, they sat through 3 trips to various stores while Beau and I made our final decision on our stroller! We have been shopping and reading up for weeks and have been teetering between the City Select by Baby Jogger and the Uppababy. Final decision (drumroll please)..the Uppababy and we are so excited! Our thrill for a bargain will probably continue to resurface throughout my blog and this update is no different - probably the best of all! We got the last 2009 model that they had in stock (I know, ridiculous that they are like cars) so it was a "Hot Buy" as they like to call it and Beau further negotiated them down since it was on the floor and not in it's original packaging (sometimes I wonder if he thinks we are in Mexico!) and ta da!! We saved the price of a car seat! Yes, there is a twinge of pride here - I can't lie. Here it is - it came with this bassinet and the regular seat. Best part, it fits 2 seats for the growing family so we don't have to buy another stroller if/when #2 comes along. We are ready to stroll!

19 Week Sono where we found out the sex (for real)...
Here is the usual weekly update!
How your baby's growing:
Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
