The Verdict is IN.

We realized recently as we've been preparing for Brooklynn's arrival just how much stuff is needed to prepare for a baby's arrival.. We've been running around like chickens with our head's cut off with our rare free time and getting things we needed for Brooklynn, We're about half way there, and while the excitement and stress are climbing as we race to get ready before she decides to debut, We went for a drive to check out baby bouncer's the other day and ended up getting the "soothing vibrations" pink baby bouncer with high hopes that it will work as explained On the way to pick up the bouncer, we drove past "Porters Place" with a line going out the front door, This line was not there on the way home so we stopped off to eat dinner at "Porters Place" in Lehi. We've been spending some of our free time watching "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" on the Food Network, so the idea of eating at a "Dive" with a line out the door got us quite excited, Derek ordered the Bison Burger with Baked Beans, The Best He's Ever Had, (Yes Better than our own home-made). I ordered the French Dip with Fries, They cut the potatoe into 4 and fry it, It was great!!! They cook the food right at the bar in front of you, We thought that was pretty cool as well. We submitted the place online to the producers of the show, Maybe it will show up on a future episode?

...And finally, We decided on and bought a stoller system, The verdict is the Chicco Cortina Travel System, This thing is GREAT! The car seat fits comforably and easily into the stroller system and base. It's the only one we've seen with the ablility to fold the stoller with a single hand and it stands freely on it's own when folded. The safety points of the car seat are the highest of any out there, and the best part.. We got a Screamin' deal! Woo-Hoo! ( A special THANKS to Derek's Mom for hitting up the JJ COLE Warehouse Family Sale and scoring some awesome things!)
