PREGNANT??? PREGNANT!!!
Let the excitement begin... the 40 week emotional rollercoaster...
OH... MY... GOD!!! Am I ready???
I bet you´re already going shopping for grocerys, ending up in the baby section. If you are, don´t worry! There is nothing wrong with you. You can send your husband back to the store later to pick up the things you forgot.
Besides the upset stomach, cramping, and sweat attacks... or whatever other symptoms your pregnancy brings... preparing for your new baby can be lots of fun!! It can also be a little overwhelming from time to time, with so many different baby products out there... making it really hard to find what will help you the most.
Here are a couple of things that made my life a little easier:

Here are a couple of things that made my life a little easier:
1) Stroller & Pram with swivel front wheels
If you don´t want to walk around all day lifting your stroller up every couple of seconds, then this is a must buy. I would also recommend getting an adaptor that you can install on the pram. This is great for quick shopping... so you don´t have to carry the heavy baby & car seat combo around, while you think about what you want for dinner. (make sure the adaptor is made for the car seat that you buy).
2) Car Seat with Car Seat Base
Sooooo convenient. Makes quick car rides so much fun... I always laugh when I see someone standing in the pooring rain, or in a tight parking spot, trying to wrap the seat bealt around the car seat. Don´t take me the wrong way, if you can´t afford it, I totally understand. But for the extra 40 to 90 bucks, it´s soooo worth it!!!

3) Steam Sterilizer
A lot of people will tell you... "you propably don´t need this". I, on the other hand disagree. From my own experience I feel a lot better knowing, that if I have to give my baby the soother, or the bottle, for any reason whatsoever... it´s sterile... Bacteria free.

And it´s so easy to use.
4) Diaper Pail
Normally when you change the baby... you throw the diaper into a bag, and take it out to the garbage right away. That stinky diaper is not something you want to let simmer on a hot summer day! Now... if you can calculate the amount of times you have to change your baby, which equals the same amount of times you´ll have to be running out to the garbage... that´s a lot of running around. You can save all that running around, and put it towards 15 mins of your favorite TV Show just by purchasing a diaper pail! This thing is awesome. You won´t smell a thing!
5) Organic Products
They might be a little more expensive then the average, everyday products that are being sold in todays market. But can you really put a price on the health and well being of your newborn baby. The non organic products are full of dangerous chemicals that can cause a number of health problems for your baby. Befor you pick up something new for your child, find out what´s the best and safest products for your baby.
