oh boy...

So, anyone have a carseat for a 3.5 year old?
How about two convertible crib/toddler beds?
A double stroller?
A mini-van? :)

I'm starting to realize the number of items we don't have and the cost. Yikes. I know we have raised the money to adopt Vlad which is awesome, now I'm trying to figure out where the rest of these things will come from..... :)

  2. Yeah, we are thinking the same thing. Maybe get the van with the tax refund. We need a bigger house now, too. :)
    As for the car seat, I thought I'd throw my two sense in, maybe you know this already, since Syrus has down syndrome. It is better to rear face children with DS as long as possible, because of the atlantoaxial instability, and low muscle tone. And then it is best to put them in a 3 point harness when forward facing for as long as possible. Cosco Scenera is a inexpensive convertible car seat that has good reviews. :)

  3. I'm realizing this, too!

    Another vote for the Cosco Scenera; all others in the lower price range are...well...cheap!

    Blessings and My Best

  4. I know a great place to check out - not sure if you have ever heard of it - but it's called Freecyle.org - check it out. You can search by your location - and it's individuals from your area who are getting rid of unwanted items. People have even given away brand new items. I know your list of items for your newest family addition - might be long - and thought this might be a place for you to check out. If there's anything that you might need as far as some toys - I might be able to help you out. Just let me know. You're family is in my prayers. You are a stong woman and you have many people praying for you.
