June 26-June 30, 2008: 32 weeks and Grandma Debbie and Linds come to visit!

Nick's mom and sister have come for a long weekend to visit. We had a great weekend doing lots of fun events including seeing Wicked in the theater, fondue night, a beach day, and of course some baby shopping :) I included a pic of Nicky and I at the theater and one of the fam at the beach. They also helped us finish cleaning our last apartment so that we could turn over our keys and finally be settled in our new place. Lindsey spray-painted our pink bookshelf blue so that it could placed in doo's new room! We had a really fun visit with lots of laughs and good food. And we'll be seeing them again in three weeks as they return for our girls' weekend!

Our big purchase this weekend was a stroller for doo!! I did a TON of reseach concerning what type of stroller I wanted. First it needed to be light-weight, since we are on the second floor. Also I wanted to be able to attach the car seat on top, be able to take it all over Santa Monica (including beach trails) but still be compact enough to use all the time. So we finally decided on a light-weight, all-terrain stroller, the Bumbleride Indie. I think Nick was surprised I didn't go for more of the pram-style stroller, but I feel like this one fits our beach lifestyle better (while still being small and cute!) Besides, since it's not uber-girly I think Nick is excited to use it as well. We got the stroller in brown, but I included the other pic because it has the car seat attached which is how we'll be using it in the beginning.
