Trip to Pensacola

23 weeks & 6 days...

Fort Walton Beach doesn't have many baby stores. Target and Walmart are the only 2 stores offering anything decent and even those stores don't carry many products in the actual store! They do carry many items online, but I want to touch and feel the things I want to buy for my first born! So, my husband and I drove out to Pensacola today to look for more baby things. They have a Toys 'R Us there, which was even smaller than the usual ones I've seen. After researching for many weeks on what type of carseat or travel system we were going to buy, we've finally decided on the Chicco Miro & will buy the strap 'n go to go along with it.

Although the travel system would've been cheaper, I've read many moms talk about the fact that their options were limited and if the car seat was good, the stroller sucked. Plus, I love the car seat for the fact that it is good until 30 lbs, the ease of putting it in the car, and the design of course. I am still not sure whether or not I will use a sling for the baby, so this will keep my options open as well. Now all I have to do is order this car seat online and it will be about $150.

I'm starting to find out that shopping for baby items is becoming very stressful. Not only is it hard to shop for myself, now I'm on a time crunch and have to buy tons of stuff for Silas (and baby boy stuff is not easy to choose!!) I think I would've had an easier time if I was shopping for girl stuff because I am one & I know what I like. Now I try to shop for things my husband and I will both like...because he is a man of course and has to have "manly" things for our boy. So luckily I found the car seat...WOW a whole blog on a car seat!!! But happy with our choice & I think it's gender friendly =)
