Orbiting Virginia

Thanks to my brother Beau getting the word out and the rest of my family contributing to a slightly excessive purchase on behalf of Baby number 1, my unborn child is the beneficiary of a beautiful and highly functional stroller. Whilst in Korea I was recently pregnant and perusing the internet for important baby items...car seats, strollers, cribs etc. When on the crate and barrel website I came across what looked like a very streamlined, compact yet pricey stroller. They had a link to the stroller website including an informational video and I was quickly convinced that this stroller was worth investigating more despite the cost. After researching, comparing the Orbit with many other strollers and reading countless consumer reviews from both sides, Chas and I pretty much decided that we would use dishtowels for diapers and use a laundry basket as a crib in order to have this stroller. When we shared this desire with my family they were skeptical but being the youngest and the most spoiled they all indulged me enough to look into it. Their contemplation turned into action and effective January 18th we became proud owners of a Mocha Orbit stroller. It is parked in my living room waiting for a tiny passenger named Olive. I can't wait to try it out and I know that Olive and I will have many comfortable power walks with the Orbit, not mention the rest of our children to come who will all partake of the pneumatic tires and completely washable microfiber lining.
(*Disclaimer...I do not read People, or US magazines. I don't care what Brad and Angelina's kids are wearing and I could care less if Gwen Stafani is "Hollywood's hottest mom". I wanted the Orbit before I knew of it's popularity among the stars and before it was on The Office. It would seem that I just happen to have really good taste and my supportive husband likes seemingly NASA made baby gadgets. :)

Here is Chas practicing putting a diaper on a butternut squash. It's his first time with a squash and baby for that matter real or pretend.
