It's a boy!!

We had our big ultrasound on Monday and found out for sure that we are having a baby boy this August! Everything was measuring great (U/S showed an estimated due date of 8/19 which is right there with our official due date of 8/21) and it was a lot of fun to see this little guy. It has taken a few days to actual change my mindset and realize that I am pregnant with a baby boy only because I am used to being pregnant with a girl! Luckily pretty much everything we got for Hazel (besides her clothes) is pretty gender neutral, so the only BIG things left that we will need to get are a crib, carseat and double stroller. We have been researching double strollers for quite some time and finally settled on the BOB Revolution duallie at REI, so if anyone has experience with this stroller, please let me know! It is annoying that it is so pricey, but it has wonderful reviews, tons of great features (since we will be carting two little ones around for quite some time) and I've heard that others usually go through 2 of the cheap double strollers (at the tune of $500) before finally realizing that they needed something more substantial. Here's a picture of the stroller, it was really important to have our two side-by-side since they will be close in age and I don't want anyone "banished" to the caboose of the stroller :)

Other than that, on 3/15 Hazel really took her first steps alone and now she is walking around more than she is crawling! It is so fun to see her grow up and be so excited about learning new things and becoming independent.

Congrats on the boy!!! How exciting!
We have the Bob Revolution stroller for Zeke and plan on getting the Bob Revolution Duallie pretty soon for the new addition. I absolutely love the single stroller! Right now until the 18th of April (I think) there is a 20% off coupon for REI members. If you buy the stroller at 20% off it's approx. $455. Still hard to swallow, but better than $569. Nate and I are both members so we have 2 20% off coupons to use. We'll use the other one on the car seat adapter which is $89! So expensive all together!
