[Toodles]

hehe...Vicky has been on my tail to get over here...so here I am :)

ok...a little about me :)

My name is Mandee (on YT it is pepe mint, on 4WT it is Toodles) I am currently 23 weeks pregnant with #2. I have a 7 year old daughter and 3 dogs: Daisy: a 6 year old cocker, Maggie: a 1.5 year old yorkie, and Tessa: a 5 month old yorkie.

I don't know if I am having a boy or girl yet. I am finding out on May 13 :) I am SOOOOO excited.

oh yeah...I am married to Jim...he's certainly something "special" LOL

I look forward to meeting all of you. I really am scared that this will be another addiction for me LOL

here's a couple of pics so you know who you are talking to :)

nothing really LOL I have gotten some blankets, sleepers, onesies, and bibs. but that's about it. mostly gender neutral stuff. I have registered for some of the stuff for the room...furniture and stuff like that...but I only registered for that because my inlaws are buying the crib and I had an idea of what I wanted :)

LOL... do you have a theme picked out for each sex? I had just one cuz it was suitable for both sexs.

Have you picked your stroller yet? I picked mine out when I was 18wks and last week I went and bought my second one because I don't like the first one I bought! :rolleyes:

Those are quite a few stuff, when are you planning on buying everything you need?

I am changing my stroller too as I brought mine when I was 22 weeks and don't like it anymore.LOL

I think I have a stroller/car seat combo thing picked out but I'm not 100% sure on that yet.

I haven't really picked a theme yet either. I really want to do something with giraffes but I am really picky and haven't found anything I am crazy about yet. so I might just do something gender specific. I am really liking some of the lady bug stuff for girls. and maybe something to do with fire trucks for a boy. not sure yet tho :D

[Toodles]

as soon as we find out what we are having..we will start buying lots of stuff :D

What did you originally pick? I had a Silvercross 3D travel system in a Limited Edition but now I've got the orange and pink Quinny Buzz.... OMG, I love, love, LOVE it! :D

My theme for the nursery was really boring...Winnie The Pooh, but it came out really nice, I will post some pics soon in a new thread.

BTW I love giraffe themes!!!

That sounds cute! I love giraffes too.

If you get a travel system would you get a 3 wheeler? I know you can get the Quinny Buzz over there and I wasn't struck on it at all when I was pregnant, in fact I HATED three wheelers! Now I love it!

Mine was a Graco something...I'll look to see if I can find some pics of it.

I'm Winnie The Pooh too... I'm obsessed with it... I'm forcing Amelia to like Tigger.... she has a ton of Tigger toys! :rolleyes:

I'm gonna copy you and post my nursery too... :D

[Toodles]

the stroller i have my eyes on right now is dark grey and orange. i am wanting to get an orange nissan murano so i thought that would be cute :D I think it is by "baby trend"

I really do like the 3 wheeler ones!!! i will probably have one of those in addition to the travel system that comes with the carrier/car seat.

i remember your nursery pics...SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!! there are several giraffe themes that are super cute...but they are typically gender specific. I only have 2 more weeks to wait...so hopefully the next 2 weeks will go by super fast :D

[Toodles]

Awww that's cute I love orange

here is the one i added to my registry

Then I highly recommend the one I got! They do it in orange, you can have a carrycot and car seat that clips straight onto the frame too so it makes a complete travel system. I wish I'd of done this to start with but I didn't, so now I have the stroller and car seat and my other travel system is a complete one.

is it a manual pump?

[Amelia's Mummy]

is it a manual pump?

Yes it is, I think the do it as an auto one though :)

[Toodles]

Yes it is, I think the do it as an auto one though :)

yeah, they do. i am reading reviews and every electronic pump they have at babies r us has bad reviews :( but i don't want to deal with a manual one since I will be primarily breast feeding and will need to pump quite a bit.
