There are countless online lists and apps that tell you what to buy when expecting, everything from diapers to changing tables and everything in-between. The lists are quite overwhelming and frankly a bit scary. We’ve been holding out as long as we can before starting to buy things for the baby. It’s been a battle not picking up every cute thing we see when walking through stores, but we are trying to wait until we know whether our little singleton will be a baby boy or a little girl. 3 1/2 more weeks and we’ll know!

Since day one, at the top of our list was an all-terrain stroller, a must have for our lifestyle. How else will Rusty still get to go for walks through the woods. Well REI had their annual members only sale, and I had a pretty hefty dividend from last year so we took full advantage of that and made our first purchase for our baby. Now we just have to figure out where to put it.

Good news though, since our stroller purchase, thanks to some friends, we’ve been given a high-chair, a baby carrying pack (awesome) and we keep getting offers for more hand me downs.

Here is Rusty and Cuervo trying to stake claim to the new strange stuff starting to fill the house.
