Stoked About My Stokke!

I love my parents and Craigslist! Thanks to my mom & dad, I just got the best stroller for me -- the Stokke Xplory (slightly used, but WAY cheaper than retail).

My niece Emma was a perfect little model for the first test drive.


The seat goes front or rear facing in 5 different positions and fully reclines for infants.




The best thing is that the kid is up super high, so it makes it so much easier for me for lifting and lugging the baby in & out. Being a disabled mom is my most immediate concern about having kids, but I really feel like this stroller will help with my mobility.

Thanks Mom & Dad!

Baby Bump 24 Weeks

I just love my skin right now! The red patches on my cheeks and the bluish ring around my belly button are my favorites. Too bad you don't get a picture of those beauties :)

Lots of women have weird dreams in pregnancy, because they have interrupted sleep. Mine last night was a recurring nightmare I've had since I was 20, so not exactly weird for me, but disturbing. I'm sent back to high school to take a math class that I never took before, and the teacher is explaining all this stuff -- the whole class gets it and I'm sitting there panicking, feeling really stupid because I don't understand it at all. I wake up a nervous wreck.

Am I insecure about something? Definitely! But is it really about math? I don't think so. Maybe it's about being a mother.

This is a link to the video that Steve helped our nephew David make for his final kindergarten project. David is really funny and Steve did a great job. It's funny how much David reminds me of Steve, when it comes to money, and saving. I don't think I knew what a savings account was when I was 5.
