Welcome Cody! We LOVE you!

What do you think???

I think I... I mean Cody needs this shirt...

or maybe this one...

Baby Stuff

I am up way too late cruising online for stuff for Cody...

First strollers/travel systems - I like these... (they all have issues)


Pros -
Carseats are #1 rated in safety & love the colors

Cons -
We haven't seen ot tried out either of these (both Chicco) & they are the most expensive


Pros -
Least expensive, the stroller only weighs 19lbs & I really like the colors

Cons -
Haven't tried this particular Graco to see how easy it is to fold down & customer ratings said that the adjustability on the stroller seat back is poor


Pros -
We did try a similar stroller out and it was our favorite of the ones we tried & this carseat (Graco) also earns high marks in safety

Cons -
I'm not totally sold on the colors - I like the carseat, but the stroller has an awful lot of that bright blue...

However, this is probably the one we'll end up with.

Second - bumper pads... can't find any I like, so I'm seriously thinking of sewing my own (is that crazy?) I've decided that I want to do surf stuff in Cody's room (I know given where we live - 3 days from anywhere you could possibly surf - this might seem a little odd, but it's what I really want!). Anyhow, I've been cruising hawaiian fabric places & these are my favorites... (in order of my favorites & unfortunately also highest to lowest price...)

(these 2 are a tie...)


Any thoughts/opinions?

I Forgot...

a picture... I know it's the usual stellar quality of old school ultrasounds, but it's all I got!

Drumroll please...

It's a BOY!!!

We are all so excited! =)

I Dreamed a Dream...

So, I had my first dream about the gender of the baby last night... I dreamed we were at our ultrasound (scheduled for next Tuesday...) and the Doctor said "There is a 70% probability that it is a boy..." I know I dream in very impressive lingo. Phil laughed at me when I told him. He said "Why only 70%?"

Anyway, I was just curious - what do you all think the newest member of Team Armadillo will be?

This Picture

I love a lot of things about this picture - but there are 2 things I don't...

1. The photographer didn't tell Phil to sit up straighter (seriously, you can't see things like that when you're in the picture...)

2. The big hole in the middle of the picture, right between Matt & Nolan. It looks like someone is missing.

Although, I cannot fix this picture - that space (the one that looks like someone is missing) will be filled in about 6 months!

We are so excited!
