So what do you need to get in the next 9 months? - Page 2

Probably a carseat-- I'll have to check the date on ours. And I want a nice stroller that's easy to push. And maybe a new sling. Other than that, we're set. It's one advantage to already having four!

Annettemarie! When are you due?:

Technically Feb 5, but my dates are always 2 weeks off (I must ovulate really late or something) so probably more like the 19thish.

this was my first time charting, and I found I ovulate on day 20-24. I am a VERY late ovulator. In fact I was 8dpo when I was "late" this time. I wonder if I have always been like this, or if it is because of PCOS (or some other age related thing- which my doc kind of suggested- but I am 33!), or because I had an IUD that maybe messed up my cycles? I guess I will never know.

I forgot to add, I am buying my dp the Juicy Couture baby Diaper bag. He likes nice handbags and I am not going to force him to carry a bag with bunnies all over it again.

We expect to expect a boy. Our babies are pretty far apart, with adopted ones in between.

The last time I birthed a boy was 12 years ago. I'm starting over since my daughter was a Summer baby. My challenge is not in sorting through all the fabulous, barely worn baby boy clothing at garage sales and consignment shops, but in trying to find a baby car seat that fits in the Dodge Caravan 1999 model.

I purchased two last baby (over 3 years ago) and had to buy one, unpack it, try and install it, and then return it (and that was one serious hassle, even 15 minutes later) and then begin again. Then seat angles were weird, or something. I couldn't get the seats level. I finally ended up with one that I could only fit through the back hatch, so believe me we rarely unbuckled it.

Oh, I need baby gates. Our new house has stairs.

I remembered something else - a double stroller of some kind. I adore baby wearing, but sometimes mama's just too tired. I'll look for one used in case it doesn't end up getting too much use. How lond do kids typically ride in a stroller? My DS will be 3.5 when this baby's born...would it be worth getting a double?
