Big steps!

I don't know what happened today, but I took two big steps...

I ordered car seats and a pram!!! While I have been researching for ages, it happened so quickly that it can only be so right. I was inspired by my fellow twin-mummy-to-be-buddy so ordered the same car seats as her after I realised the Discovery discount is a big fat joke as it is limited to some really horrible styles...not specified so a little misleading I thought.  Anyway, after terrible service at Babies R Us and having to track down the Maxi-Cosi supplier myself and finally getting answers including then being told this style did not qualify for the discount...I decided to actually buy the Peg Perego Viaggio Tri-fix and adjustable bases from Baby City instead. I also quite like that it is made in Italy! So I called and it took me all of 5 minutes for them to call me back to confirm the special order.  I just need to confirm final colour now (Pois Brown may not be available), but this is the one we have ordered...

Onto the pram...after researching all the twin prams out there, again inspired by a fellow blogger who ordered one in US, I finally chose the Bumbleride Indie Twin.  It is stunning I think, all terrain, lightweight and best of all side-by-side which fits through a standard SA door! I finally tracked down a company in the US that ships to SA and after much correspondance, I sent a quick email today just to check if they had the new edition colours in yet as we really want the new natural edition walnut colour.  I got an email back saying to call them as the new stock was just in but not loaded on the site yet. I called and within 3 minutes had bought the pram!!!!! It will be here in 3 weeks! Here it is...

How gorgeous! As you can see, we have gone for earthy, natural tones for both. This pram is also awesome in that is is made from 50% bamboo fabric and recycled materials. Love that.

Still can't believe how fast it just happened today. So exciting.
