This weekend was filled with errands and house cleaning/preparation. I'm having a hard time moving around since my whole lower half is preparing for childbirth. But, we did manage to get every room in our house cleaned except 2, which we'll be working on periodically through the week and hopefully finishing this weekend-especially since one of those rooms is the nursery! It's kind of silly, but I think that I'm having a hard time getting the work done in Spencer's room because that was Avery's nursery and her room and I'm having a hard time changing it! I don't think she misses the room at all and I should just get past it! We did manage some time to take Avery to the park since we had a beautiful weekend. It was great weather and we had the park all to ourselves the whole time we were there!
We finally got our new stroller. Shopping for a double stroller has taken months! I'm not kidding. We practically started the second I found out I was pregnant again. There was research upon research-online research, consumer research, advice from friends who had already gone through the double stroller search... It really was tough. In the end, we decided on something for us that fits our lifestyle and we hope the kids will like it. We went with a jogging stroller that has features (such as a pivoting front wheel and storage basket) that make it easy to use for shopping and other excursions. We didn't want to purchase 2 different strollers-one for leisure and one for running-since double strollers can be pricey. So, hopefully, this works out for us. We went jogging a lot with Avery in her jogging stroller and she was born in October...so we'll be doing a lot of running with the kids this summer once I get the okay-I can't wait:)
Okay, so Avery hates strollers, but once daddy had this put together, she was already up in it relaxing!
Getting comfy to watch some TV in her new ride...she climbed back and forth between the two seats like she was trying to stake her territory!
Running among the dandelions at the park-this year Avery loves grass-last year, not so much!
Playing peek-a-boo with mommy through the tunnel:)
Of course her favorite thing at the park-besides the swing-is climbing UP the slide as far as she can go and then turning around and sliding back down!
Getting brave on the slides
Loving the swing...daddy had her going a little too high at first and she didn't know what to think about it, but at least she held on to the ball she HAD to bring with her!
Heading for the tunnels...
Here's a 36 week pic of me-excuse the shadows making my arms look huge and dimply!

First, Steph you look great! What an adorable baby belly.
Josie was looking at the blog with me and when we got to the picture of Avery in your new BOB, Josie got all upset because that is HER stroller. We have the SUS Duallie so our front wheel doesn't swivel but they look the same otherwise and Josie thought we let someone take our stroller.
I hope you guys like it. Picking a double stroller was painful. We eneded up with a jogger and an "everything else" stroller. We hate our "everything" stroller and are searching for its replacement.
We hope you guys have a great week.
Love, Nic, Jim, and the girls
I am SO jealous of your stroller- you are going to have to tell me about what kind you got and where from etc. I still am looking into getting a jogging stroller for Dylan....
You do look FABULOUS!! Thanks for the picture!!!
Love all the park pictures - looks like such a nice day!
LOL, Nickey!! I hope Josie has recovered-I laughed so hard, she's so cute:) So far, we love our BOB. We've been taking Avery in it solo to break it in!
KTP, I love jogging strollers! We have the BOB Revolution Duallie-they make it in single also. We just did so much research and read sooooo many reviews!! The thing is, when it comes to running with a stroller you want a good one so you can actually run and not fight with a crappy stroller!! BOB's are a little on the pricey side, but well worth the investment:)
Okay, I totally don't know what a BOB is....and I should really start the stroller-searching process, but I haven't yet. :)
Steph, you look beautiful! I can't believe you only have a few weeks left- that's awesome!! The pics of Avery at the park (and in her stroller) are so cute:) I wish she and E. could play together more.
