listening to: nothing.
a week ago i had my very first baby dream. i've been a little worried about having them. fearing horrific dreams of something awful happening to kaiden. or jon. thankfully, that wasn't the case. the dream started off with jon and i leisurely spending time together on a grassy hill in a city park. and then suddenly kaiden popped up out of nowhere, appearing in my arms. strangely, he was HUGE. very reminiscent to the baby on that 90's show dinosaurs. we mentioned to each other how weird it was for him to be out already as i'm still only at seven months but we eagerly took advantage of the opportunity to play with him. as the day came to an end, we started to wonder how he was going to get back in me since we had two more months before he was due.
and then i woke up.
we picked up a stroller and carrier/carseat for kaiden yesterday. it took me a long time along with frequent visits to the baby store to finally decide on which one i wanted, but i ultimately went with combi's cosmo dx stroller and centre dx carrier in the new 2007 lawn color. i had my eye on the dk5 model for a while, but with it being discontinued and the color that i wanted being out, i settled. it ended up being more cost-effective getting each piece separately, anyway. i was a little taken aback at first by the bright green, but the more and more i looked at it the more it reminded me of happy little froggies. i think the bright color will help us be seen. think safety. and i also like how the colors match the tiny love toys i want to get for him. which i shamefully admit was a small factor in aiding the decision.
we'll probably get the play yard in the coordinating color. we have a small place and don't have room for a full crib plus a changing table. so it's nice that the bassinet fits inside and is removable so that we can keep him near us and it also comes with a fold-away changing station.
