Preparing for HIS arrival

As the big day drew near, we had to make sure everything was in place for the prince's arrival. That involved..........

Mummy giving up her swanky and relatively new (like less than a year new) ride:

in exchange for a very stroller and baby seat friendly station wagon:

p.s. daddy got to keep his 2-door rocco.

It also involves getting another kind of ride:

Daddy had a thing for 3-wheeled strollers (ok maybe mummy did too) and so we ended up getting a Zapp and a Speedi. Vroom Vroom!

I must say, Quinny makes really handsome strollers. They are just such a pleasure to look at and the smooth ride which comes with it is a bonus (oops). Of course, we were not just after its sporty good looks. Its a nice stable ride really, only setback was that its size: weighs in at 12kg and is not a pretty sight navigating this monster (the Speedi) through the narrow aisles of the local malls. Plus, you get dirty looks shot at you when you attempt to enter a lift with it. And I mean REALLY dirty looks.

And of course, there's the nursery...

Took great pains to make sure the border stickers were aligned and nothing was out of place. Or at least looked out of place. The theme for Conrad's room was decidedly yellow. And Winnie the pooh. I swear to hubby then that he would love it. In retrospect, I was the one who loved it. But it no different really. He WAS in me. Most importantly... Its androgynous. Yes I'm still quite bent on that "102 shades of pink and hello kitty" friend.
