Last weekend Rob and I went to the Rib cookoff and we took Brandon along in his stroller. While we were there we started talking about maybe needing a second stroller or a double stroller. He thought we should just get two which I said was fine IF HE PLANNED ON ALWAYS BEING WITH ME WHEN I WENT OUT. So we then talked about the double strollers. Do we go side by side or front and back and so on. On Friday I mosied down to Babies R Us to look at what they had and found this little beauty. It seemed nice, it was designed for a toddler up front and an infant in back. You could put the carseat in there or you could simply put the baby in the back as the rear seat was made all cusiony and nice for infants. I went home and decided to check the ratings on said stroller as I do with everything before I add it to my registry. I got home and was pleased to see it rated well but I couldn't find the color I liked online so I knew I had to go back into the store. My cousin and I went back in and took the stroller down and played with it more. Then we stuck her three year old in it to see if she fit nicely. Jaida seemed to really enjoy it. We pushed it around the store and it worked well. So I took the little scanner thing and scanned the stroller. Suddenly it became so real. I am going to have two kids. It was so surreal. I mean yeah I know I'm pregnant and all but I lately having set a date and time for Codi to be born has made this all seem so much more real. I realized that even though Brandon is potty trained most days, I will still need a diaper bag big enough to hold two sets of diapers and toddler snacks along with baby treats. I realize that going places with two kids is going to become a bit of a project especially if they both pass out at the same time or they both want to be held at the same time. This is going to be such an adventure huh? If you are parents of multiple kids what have noticed so far that has been the most challenging part?

i think that this weekend should have been called "holy crap! we have 2 kids now" weekend. because i have had the same realization. and it's a bit scary.
I love the stroller!. You are so going to be okay with your too boys. I have no doubt that you continue to be a great mom.
Leave non-perishable stuff in a spare bag in your car...so even if you rush out of the house and forget to pack something it will be in your spare diaper bag.
Outings and appointments are hard. They're hard to schedule, hard to get to on time, hard to manage all the kids when I'm there.
Ugh I am tired just thinking about ONE kid! I keep trying to cherish every morning I get to wake up when I WANT and not when someone else SCREAMS for me to.
You are going to do great though...
XXOO
I like this stroller better than those side by side ones...I think those would get tough trying to manuver through crowds or stores and stuff...this one looks more practical.
I think everytime I take my niece with me that it takes just that much longer to buckle a car seat and now with her all you have to do is do the seatbelt!
