Help!!!

So I noticed that we haven't posted anything since October... Some of you know me and others don't, but my husband and I are expecting our first baby in April. I've started looking at all the things that we are going to need and the fun things we want. There are so many options out there and I'm a little overwhelmed. What breast pump to buy, what strollers and car seats are good, what kind of toys are fun and stimulating, what diapers are cost effective, etc. I'm starting to figure out that there are a lot of good products out there, but I would love your opinions of what really works (or doesn't) in the real world of babies. Thanks.

Things we're looking for

I just thought I'd post on here that we'll be looking for an exersaucer, bouncy seat and swing for our son who is due in February. We gave all of ours away to others in need after the girls outgrew them. If you have any of these items to sell or get rid of, please let us know!

New Version of Ring Around the Rosey

Maybe this is because Cammie played with Ashlyn at church yesterday, but today she is singing Ring Around the Rosey with Ashlyn, Ashlyn, we all fall down. Personally, I like this new version better!

Church Yard Sale

We are selling stuff at the church yard sale. We would be happy to just give to whoever could use these items, so let us know or come to the yard sale if you can. We do need to sell some things that Andy's sister Julie let us use but needs the money for, like a walker ($10), a swing ($15) and a bouncy seat ($2). The other stuff we have is this crib (Danielle has dibs on looking at that first and sorry it doesn't include the mattress cause we needed that for her toddler bed), burp cloths, girl & boy clothes, girl shoes, bibs, receiving blankets, and I don't even know what else yet, still have to keep going through the house.

Jump - a - roo

Any one want to buy a Jumperoo? It's my sister's, and she wants to sell it in a yard sale in WVa, but it's here in our living room now. She want's $20 bucks for it, It's in great shape. Makes noise, but has the ALWAYS important OFF SWITCH! It's $60 bucks new. So if someone wants it, it will save us a trip to West Virginia.

The link has reviews and stuff, but Devon and Cammie both loved it. It's adjustable, so it grows as needed. I think you can use it once the kid has solid neck control and motor skills in the legs. Cammie can still use it!

It makes a great baby-sitter while you take a shower!

So..Funny Parenting Moments

Ours right now would be from Cammie (2 years, 2 months old). Wen she doesn't get her way, she says "Honey, no!" to us.
Since she's potty training and the bathroom becomes no longer a place of privacy but an open door place where usually Devon, Cammie and Luke all join us, we get applause, too. "Yay, mommy. You did it!"
Tina, I think the pee-pee, ca-ca story belongs here..any others?

Just an idea..hope its helpful!

I'm actually starting this in honor of Danielle. After hearing her great news, I thought it would be fun for other parents to post some "funny parenting moments" so she can see what she has to look forward to. It would also give the rest of us a good laugh, too. Then, when thinking about what utility to use to post such a blog (hmm, facebook, blogger??), decided why not start a new blog that we can all use to help each other out, too? So I hope this can be a tool for us to help each other with advice when needed, things we have that we don't need anymore, things we need that others might have, set up playdates or here about events in the area, etc. So, please enjoy and post!!
