Riding in Style

Last weekend we got our first baby item…a car seat!  The agency we are working with has advised us to wait on purchasing all of the other baby related items until we have our baby and are bringing him or her home.  They did, however, explain that we would need a car seat and should look into purchasing one.

So, last weekend we went to a shop in Lexington with Scott’s mom Sandi, that is wall to wall baby related items.  We knew that there would be options, but there seemed to be hundreds of car seats, strollers, and car seat/stroller combos to choose from!  Each stroller and car seat had unique features and gadgets.  We had a lot of fun looking at them and settled on the perfect one.

We then spent some time wandering about the store looking at the many things now available for parents to purchase for their children.  Scott saw a cup that is impossible for kids to spill and thought that the same technology should be applied to the strollers.  There was also lots of furniture, clothes, diaper bags, and everything else a child could ever need.

We left the store excited for having purchased the very first item for our child.  We look forward to the day when we get a phone call from our agency telling us to put this car seat in and head to the hospital.  The whole process was truly exciting as it made the reality of “more McDowell’s” seem that much closer.
