It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like . . . Baby!

Our travel system and Pack 'n Play both arrived at our door on Wednesday. We put together the stroller (i.e. - snapped a few pieces together, it was SO easy!) on Wednesday and yesterday we experimented with putting up the Pack 'n Play. I LOVE THEM!
Getting all the pieces together

The finished product

The theme for our "nursery" (he doesn't have a real nursery since we are still in a one bedroom apartment) is a jungle, with the main colors being brown and green. The Pack 'n Play is the perfect fit! If you knew me when I was younger you know that I loved elephants, and still do, so you can see why I love this Pack 'n Play so much.

I really like the car seat/stroller as well, the style is incidentally called "Elephant Parade"! Since the colors are neutral they will work for any future girls we might have.
It is so weird to look around our apartment and see a crib in the middle of the room, a stroller folded up on the floor, and a car seat on the couch! Pretty soon there will be a baby inside all those things!

Hearing you say how you used to love elephants really brought back some childhood memories. Fun!

(You are impressively on top of things. I didn't have a stroller until months after Sammy was born!)

Hooray for the end of the pregnancy!!! :)

Just looking at the smiles on your faces reminds me of how excited we were when anticipating your arrival, Lara, you being our first and all. Your baby equipment looks fantastic and fun! Let's go stroll him around Layton Hills Mall together, since that was the first place I took you in your stroller at a month old :)

So when can we come visit with all that extra room that you have? Ok, just kidding. Maybe the apartment complex would let you knock out a wall and build on an extra room. I'm so excited for you guys!
