impulse

i did an impulsive thing today and purchased our stroller. i still feel it is way too early to buy this, even though we were set on which one to get. But i found a deal and I didn't want to pass up the chance. 10% off plus free ship plus no tax. I probably saved about $125 buying it this way than in-store. I dont know if thats good or not. The only thing I can say is that I paid the same price for the 2010 model that I would have paid for the 2009 in store so I'm fairly happy with that since we struggled back and forth on whether or not the extra money was worth buying the new model or not.

i can't believe I just spent 600 bucks on a stroller. not about the money...because i fully believe i will use this till its dying day as well as for future kids... but because i actually made a real big purchase for the baby. its almost like a wake up call.. i think i will feel this way when i buy the crib too, or when my nursery is actually up and decorated.

these are things WE like...but will the baby? what if the stroller is just not functional for our needs after the babys here (even though we did try to think this through when deciding). since the 2010 just came out last month, are there going to be future recalls? i guess its just one of those days where i feel like i know nothing and going into something blindly, hoping for the best. its probably a stupid way to think too since jae is 100% on board and doesnt even question one thing about it. its probably just me.

anyway, i just can't help but to think, am i going to be constantly questioning my decisions for this baby... even after the baby is born? yikes!

*sidenote* someone asked me why i didnt put the stroller on my registry. i didn't for a few reasons.

1. too expensive an item to even put on there. i'd be embarrassed. its not like its an umbrella stroller or snap and go, which i could understand.

2. i wouldnt want someone to pay full price when i can get it cheaper.

3. lets say i put it on and no one bought it, which is most likely the case. even though i get 10% discount on all my items unbought, it still would have cost us more than the deal i found today.
