Thanks PC.  Actually both my kids are miracles.  They are truly joys to me.  That's why I posted as blessedmom originally on your boards.
We are about to retire the stroller I got 10 yrs. ago.  It was not a carseat combo, but we have loved it!  It sits straight up or reclines, has somewhat large wheels and shock absorbers, and folds and unfolds very easily.  I think it is a graco.  It has survived my 2 and 2 other cousins.  I have rheumatoid arthritis and went shopping when I was having difficulties just so I would know I could manage it well.
With my older son, we could not have gotten by without an exersaucer.   The only way I got to take a shower was to put that in the hall outside the bathroom and sing to him.

Still have my stroller too. Its been to Disney and back 6 times for 2 kids. You will want a stroller that you wont have to hunch over to push. I'm not tall but most are made for people with really long arms!

Thanks PC! I am so blessed too.... Sometimes I get kind of scared to buy stuff, but I decided to stop worrying and put it in God's hands and just enjoy my pregnancy ... Jumping

Yes, about the changing table, thanks for the tip marchioness de timewieze, I was actually condering on buying one, but thanks that's money I'll be saving for something else....

As far as strollers, I've been reading some reviews and I found 2 that have the most good reviews and I might go tomorrow to see it and test it at the stores,and I am looking for the combo.... I will check the Preg Perego (the lighteweight storller combo, tofee) and another combo made by chicco I think is cortina or something...

Have any of you heard of any of those brands?

When I was pregnant with my first, it was after a miscarriage, then a year of trying and I was very high risk and was having multiple complications from the start due to my arthritis.  I got a devotional book to help me let go and stay focused on the joy instead of worrying.  It is called "What to Expect From God When You Are Expecting".  It had a picture on the front similar to the one on the book "What to Expect When You Are Expecting".  I don't remember the author.  I will look to see if I even still have it.  If I still have it I will send it to you.  I have loaned it out a lot.
I will pray for you to have peace and enjoy this time of anticipation. Jumping

When I was pregnant with my first son I almost lost him. I jut asked my angels for help and with bed rest he's fine. Going to be 11 soon. I read those what to expect books and wish I found the one one refer too. Sounds like a good book to read when you are expecting.

PRDIVA4-
I cannot find the book anywhere here at home, but I did see it on Amazon.com for $1.65.  The author is Cathy Hickling.  It is a really neat book.  It coordinates with the stage you and your baby are in.  Let me know if you get it and what you think.  I will continue to pray for you.

Hey prdiva-
Glad everything is going great!  Not much longer till you get to meet your sweet one face to face.  How do you like the book?  My life has been a bit nuts lately so I haven't been able to check in much lately.  Keep us posted. 
Hey pc-  Looking forward to your little blessing news as well.
TGIF!!!

Well, we are 13 weeks pregnant with #4.  First daughter will be 5 in Dec., son will be 3 on Tues. and 2nd daughter was one in July.  My advice on a stroller, especially if there are more children in the near future.  Phil and Ted's E3.  You can order a second seat attachment and an infant car seat attachment.  It will be the only stroller you need (I have 3 in my garage  stunned)  Disclaimer: it is very expensive and I have only seen it in person and have yet to get my hands on one.  But, when this baby comes I am determined to get that and get rid of my single and double strollers.  Anyway, check it out.  If it interests you I can help you get the best deal as I have been sort of stalking this stroller for months.  And, about the swing, if you have limited space, I recommend the portable swings.  They fold up and if your baby is addicted you can bring it around with you. Might sound crazy but there have been some fussy babies. (PTL we have not had one yet!)

Hi awanamama!

My first was extremely fussy/colicky, and I wouldn't have survived the first three months of her life without the swing - so you never know what you'll need the most!

I'm 22 weeks with number 3... I think we're done after this one!  Cheesy  My daughter is 3 and my son is 18 months, and I'm just plain worn out. I don't know where I'll get the energy for number 3!
I'll have to look at the signature lines when I get some time - I'm super stressed right now because my buyers just backed out of our house sale, and we're moving in a month to TX. Plus I have other assorted things going on right now, so internet chatting has really taken a backseat. I pop in here and on MaryKaySucks just to keep up with everyone, but it'll be awhile til I have more time... crying  But don't worry Marisabel - I'll be around when you have the baby!!

oh pinkcaddy! wave

I am praying for you!! I know, you must feel really emotional... I can't imagine myself going through that. I am crying for almost anything now, so if I was in that situation like this I probably would have no idea how to handle it... Sometimes things happen for a reason and maybe when you sell that house, you'll find a better one when you move.
Wow! so you are 22 weeks we are 5 weeks apart... Jumping   Love

Hey awanama3! Congrats... This is my first one and I am so excited! You guys have more that 2 and I admire you because I bet is a handful. I am getting ready for this one and my husband and I are getting overwhelmed. I don't know if is because is the first and we've been married for 9 years because we know our lives will change... We are used to be on the go and if we wanted to do something we just pack and go and now we know is going to change.. We are very happy though , but just a little anxious I guess....


Hey marchioness de timewieze! Can you believe that I haven't received my book yet??? It's been over a month now and I email the person and no reply, so now I have to email amazon and report the seller AGH!! I was so mad...... I'll let you know if I ever get it  tongue

I have gone through so many strollers it is insane!  At least I got the last two at the consignment shop (in nearly new condition, but about 1/4 of the price).  Currently I have a very light weight Peg Perego Aria that I LOVE.  It has a harness to hold the boy in and that has been a life saver.  My dear, sweet boy likes to stand up and jump out if he doesn't have the harness on.   I think if I had it to do over I would have just bought one of those stroller frames that fit a car seat for the first few months and then the lightweight Peg now that he can sit up and is out of the car seat.  The travel systems seem like a good idea, but the stroller I had was so bulky that I hated pulling it out. 

I found baby shopping totally overwhelming and hated almost every minute of it.  There were so many choices and I was just totally clueless.

I wish I had bought a travel system too, if only for the fact that the stroller height is so much higher (than other strollers) and the wheels work so well. I had one stroller whose wheels constantly got stuck and wouldn't turn - GAH how I hated that thing.

prdiva: I re-sold my house so everything is fine. I'm working on one thing at a time, baby steps.  tongue Next I have a house hunting trip in TX, which should be fun. Then my ulstrasound around the middle of October - when I find out what I'm having I'll post! Cheesy
