Garett and I spent my entire pregnancy in complete denial on the topic of baby related items and what exactly we would need. We were convinced that Wyatt would be just fine with diapers, a couple of onesies and a car seat. When some members of our family encouraged us to consider an SUV when we were looking for a new car for Garett, we thought they were crazy and went ahead and bought him a pick-up truck. When my mom said she'd love to give us a video monitor, we nearly talked her out of it, instead trying to urge her to buy the cheapest one without a video camera. When our friends told us that it's pretty common to have three strollers, we rolled our eyes and emphatically stated that we would be just fine with one.
Now, just 13 weeks into being parents, we own two strollers and I have a feeling we'll have a third within the year. Why do we need so many things to raise such little people? Does Wyatt really need a crib bumper and an extra waterproof pad on the already waterproof changing pad? Did you know that there is such a thing as a wipee warmer? I'm proud to say we do not own one. Can you imagine the transition from a warm, moisturizing wipe to cold, harsh toilet paper? I will not allow Wyatt to face such a hardship.
On the stroller front, I just found a
Bob jogger-style stroller on our loca
l craigslist.
l craigslist. It's in nearly new condition and makes going up and down the hills on our evening walks a breeze. Wyatt seems to like it too.

Congratulations on the jogger! I'd love to hit the road, beach or street with you and Wyatt sometime soon.
