17-18 weeks

Sorry I didn't update last week...not much going on to report. I went two weeks without throwing up, but this week baby decided I needed a reminder that s/he is still there and I threw up 3 times.

Two weeks until the big ultrasound - I can't wait. We'll be starting our baby registry once we find out if it's a boy or a girl, so I've been looking at baby gear and trying to pick out what we think we'll need...travel system or just a stroller? Do you really get much use out of a bouncer before the baby grows out of it?

So mom's...what do/did you use a lot and what just took up space?

we went with a baby carrier and a frame that you can snap it into that's like $50 or something. when she was big enough, we graduated to a lightweight stroller that was a bit more robust than an umbrella stroller but not one of those big cruisers. was it the right decision? it was hard to marathon shop with her (like at a mall) because the basket was way too small and you couldn't really hang packages or drinks on the back like the big "luxury" strollers. since we rarely did that, it was worth the savings.

as for the bouncer... every kid is different and there's going to be something that will chill him/her out when nothing else will. it may be a bouncer, it may be a vibrating seat, it may be...something else. i forget what all is out there these days. charlotte loved the bouncer more than anything, but she was a very active child. nothing else could keep up :)
