Since receiving the good news, my mind has been adding things to my mental "to do" list at breakneck speed. The one thing I did accomplish last night was to go online and purchase a new carseat for Szu-Chuan's big brother. Szu-Chuan will be taking over Andrew's Britax Marathon. Meanwhile, Andrew will be graduating up to a Britax Regent.
This behemoth of a carseat is one of the few toddler booster seats that uses a five-point harness, the key selling point for us.We purchased it online from Albee's, a great baby gear store in New York City. They feature some pretty fabulous deals on quality baby products with free shipping on items over $100.00. We had originally picked up the carseat at the local Babies 'R Us but returned it when we saw it on the Albee's website for $60.00 less, tax-free.
Alas, poor baby, as child #2, your life of hand-me-downs has already begun.

We just upgraded to that carseat for our daughter a couple of months ago...it is the La-z-boy chair of carseats, I tell you! It looked huge when it arrived, but fits perfectly in our minivan, and our daughter loves it. I am sure Andrew will love his new seat. And the baby won't know any different...

Hey Judy! Congrats to you guys...what a SPEEDY process you've had...Wow!!! I am anxiously waiting to hear your travel dates...and I hope we are there together...wouldn't that be neat?!?!! (Also, there's another FFC family who got final decree yesterday but I don't know if they blog or not.)
Hooray! I had to laugh at the hand-me-down comment. That's us, here. Truly, it's a mix of new and old because some of the stuff we have- by the third kid- is wearing out and needs replacement. Surely, we'll be replacing even more with child number four. And, seasons play a lot into clothes..some garments just can't be re-used because they're the wrong size at the wrong time. And, then, well, carseats shouldn't be re-used past a certain amount of time. Hand me downs produce character because the second, third, fourth child (etc.) never learns to be spoiled- at least that's what I tell myself! ha!
Gosh, I am so excited that you're going to travel soon!!!!! Thrilled for you!

We are going to be moving Noah up to a booster seat too, but mainly because the 5 pt. harness on his current seat is a little, ahem, crushing. Poor guy, cries out in pain whenever we go over a particularly big bump in the road. So he will have the standard booster using the car seat belt.
