20 Weeks Pregnant and My New Bugaboo

I've made it to the 20 week mark. Half of me wishes I had started blogging earlier and the other half understands how it just would not have happened. To recap, my first trimester was full of emotional outbursts, daily nausea, and unending fatigue. I'm much better this trimester and starting to see what women enjoy about all of this. I'm also feeling a lot more secure about the pregnancy at this point. Being an incessant worrywart doesn't help when another life is dependent on me. I had daily fears that perhaps this might be the day I lose the baby, I'm doing something wrong, not eating the right things, or a million other things. I'm grateful to have made it to this point.

B has been increasingly less nervous about talking about little E. He sheepishly touches my belly as 'he is supposed to' and has indulged me with baby-related conversation constantly. My latest fixation? A Bugaboo! I can't imagine ever spending $700+ for a stroller and was looking for the most affordable option available to me. After scouring Craigslist for weeks I was finally able to locate a Frog for $275 with car seat attachment, cup holder, and in great condition. What would I do without you, Craig? What a sigh of relief! I'm not even sure why I became so fixated on the Bugaboo itself. Other strollers just don't have the 'look.' Am I really that brainwashed by Hollywood? B could tell it was showcased on Sex and the City before I even noticed. What can I say? It's adorable.

Now I'm on the hunt for a new obsession. I've already picked out a crib, have a stroller, and am going to be given a car seat. Any suggestions from anybody out there?
