Shopping! and moving on..

We have been doing a little shopping this past week in baby prep.
First we visited Ikea to check out beds, matresses and other things they have to offer (a 15 minute bus from our place).  Did not buy anything yet but, still managed to spend 80 pounds. How did that happen? Damn you IKEA! (fist shaking whilst typing this)
Yesterday, I visited the Glasgow Pram Centre. They have upscale brands, middle of the range and everything inbetween. I went with my new friend Michelle from Montreal, who is due mid January and her partner is at Glasgow School of Art with Brent. Funny, right?!  We have spent quite a bit of time with them and have really enjoyed eachothers company discovering a new city together. The Pram Centre is located in a LARGE warehouse next to an auto garage.
Michelle finds one she likes. It is a good deal too!
The finalist! I'm a little 'over' the whole stroller shopping debate therefore, am ready to get one and move on. The babystyle Oyster referred to my via my friend Elena in London. It tested #1 on the UK consumer reports site which.co.uk and most importantly, it the most lightweight in the market (with a nice basket for shopping).
Not a bad looking stroller either.
I have my first midwife appointment this upcoming Friday. They are going to do a checkup, scan and give me a major amount of info of parenting classes.  At least I have the CPR covered. :-) ps: if you know anyone in Glasgow looking for a CPR class, let me know!
