Happy Times Are Here

Everytime we go down to Boston, there are two places that are required to be on the itinerary. Ikea (the wife worships at the alter of at residentially assembled swedish furniture) and Babies R Us. Which means everytime we go to Boston, I get dragged to these places. Well not really dragged, as in theory I don't mind them. Then five minutes into the trip I get bored and pray that some miracle will occur rescuing me from the situation.

Well happy times are here. The reason we were going to Babies R Us, is because we need to pick a stroller and car seat for future baby. But a wonderful thing happened on our last trip down. We narrowed our search down to two items! There are millions to choose from, and we've (thankfully) got it down to two. My only requirements were that neither were those monstrous things you see people desperately attempting to lug around the mall while inadvertently driving it into my ankles. Well neither of our choices fit that. We picked something on the smaller side that the wife can lift without great difficulty and can easily be maneuvered.

And we figured, since we borrowing a crib from family and are using a couple of bureau's given to us, saving us from having to buy all that ourselves, we could spend a little more on the stroller/car seat. Well, yeah, I have the inability to spend money just for the sake of spending. Plus, all those expensive strollers are HUGE. There's no way I'd want to have to heave them in and out of the car and all that. The one we choose is very reasonably priced which makes me happy.

Now we just have to choose between the two.

And yes, I just wrote an entire entry on baby strollers... sad huh... i promise this won't be a regular occurance...
