October 2013 babies!

[Kira]

I don't think it's a girly name, personally. I just looked up Madden... a few moms I saw named their daughters Maddyn with a 'y' but it looks to be traditionally a boys name... I found this: I'm not sure where the soulurge and expression numbers come from but I still thought I'd share this for fun....

BTW everyone who guessed boy/girl from my profile pics guessed boy.... I was dismayed by this and it made me doubt my 'gut feeling' that she was a girl even more... but anyone else in this boat...hold out hope and remind yourself that they are just guesses and they could be wrong like in my case. (I still appreciated everyone's honest guesses.... just was bummed to see all boy responses.) When I posted my 13w4d potty shot I got only 2 responses and one mom leaned girl for that, even though the same mom leaned boy for the profile pics... even so, I was happy to see at least ONE person say... MAYBE girl.

Not girly at all to me. The only reference I can think of is John Madden, the football guy, who is def. Not girly!

Or Joel and Benji Madden from the band Good Charlotte. (Don't ask me how I know that since I don't listen to them! haha)

I thought of them too Katie. I used to listen to them when I was in school and had a boy friend who liked them though they were a bit too 'pop' punk for me, I was more AC/DC and Iron Maiden at the time LOL

I just ordered my pram! I had a back payment from Tax Credits and the pram was on offer so I couldn't wait LOL

Oooh, I am super obsessed with strollers (prams)- what kind do you get? What does everyone else have?

I have a really beaten up tandem but it is so sturdy!!! You can have a good 4 children on it at one time and it just soldiers on! I'd dread changing it incase the new one was flimsy in some way lol

I went and bought the Britax B-Agile travel system when we found out we were expecting again. I can't wait to use it!

I went for the Chicco Trio Enjoy. I wanted one I could have a carry cot on, I needed a new car seat (both carry cot and car seat come with it) But it needed to umbrella fold to fit in the car. I thought I was going to have to give up on having a carry cot on it but really didn't want to be using a car seat on it all the time and couldn't find one that would face me and umbrella fold. This does everything I wanted except face me when its a pushchair. Plus I have had Chiccos in the past and they have lasted really well.
I have a lovely one still in the loft that I was just going to buy the carry cot to go on but even when folded its too big to fit in the car with all 7 seats up.
I also still have 2 doubles in the loft as DH made me save them 'just in case'!!!

Both Britax and Chicco are great brands- October mommies have great taste! I used Chicco carseats for my boys and wanted their side by side lightweight double (trevi) but they stopped making it here. They don't sell the Trio Enjoy here, so it was fun to look it up. I do own the Mountain Buggy Duet and love it as it is the narrowest side by side and pushes like a dream, but it does take up a lot of space in the trunk and so I would like an umbrella double also. Still great though for the little one and was considering getting the carrycot to go with it. Carrycots are not very commonly used here (everyone drives and uses the carseat) and I was wondering others experiences with them- do babies tend to sleep well in them?
