We've been very cautious about making big purchases for Lexie because sometimes in the back of our minds, we still can't believe this is happening. Everyday we have to pinch ourselves because we just might wake up and find out this has been just a dream.
We decided to buy our carseat when we got our 1st update in May. We (actually me) read tons of reviews of different carseats and Eric drove me back and forth between Target, Baby Emporium and Kahala Kids because we just couldn't decide on which one to get. All the reviews recommended the Britax Marathon, but we still weren't sold on it. We were in Target looking at it and several people came up to us and told us that it was the best car seat they ever bought. I just didn't like the way it looked, until we found out that it came in the "Hannah" design which was brown & pink. It was made for Lexie!!
Since we reached another step in our journey, which was getting our hearing date, we decided it was time to get our next item on our list, which was a stroller. After shopping around and taking several strollers on test drives, we decided on the Maclaren XLR. It's a little bigger than what we originally wanted, but it has a lot of nice features and again, it was made for Lexie - pink & brown!! We also had to get it quickly because the price went up $15 since we first looked at it and it's gone up 10 more dollars since we bought it.
We're eagerly waiting to get our next item on our wish list, which is a crib. We have one in mind, so as soon as we get our first ruling from the judge, we will be buying that crib so that Eric can put it together and we can start getting Lexie's nursery ready for when she comes home.
