pimp my ride

The Peg Perego Venezia stroller in black sable!

it has 4-wheel swivels (you can push/pull the thing sideways - good for grocery aisles!), reclines into a full bassinet (no need for a separate infant seat), collapses neatly into a compact heap, and has a really cool reversible handlebar... plus a really cool "boot" that covers the stroller carriage during chilly fall/winter days!

it took us 2 hours in TJ's Kiddie Store to decide on a stroller and pick a color... it was a toss-up between a Silver & Red (my choice) or Dark Blue (the papa-to-be's pick)... in the end, the sales associate told us that she had one last piece in Silver & Black at the stockroom... so voila, baby penguin's cadillac!

we also got the crib since we were at the store anyway...



next on the list: the crib mattress - who would have thought baby mattresses would be complicated??? in the store there were all kinds: hypoallerginic, coils, springs, foam, cotton covers, etc.... nakakahilo!
