Baby Gear Nerd

I have 8 days till my induction! Oh lordy am I excited to meet our new little pipsqueek. I am so excited to say that I ordered my very last piece of double baby gear. Thanks to my awesome family I didn't actually have to spend a dime on my double stroller. They were all very generous, between my mom, and grandma and brother, they paid for our new double stroller. I spent months and months of this pregnancy agonizing over what kind of double stroller to get for myself and the boys. It had to be the right stroller. Between size folded (for taking in our small hatchback) and ease of use, plus I wanted it to be comfortable and have a really nice "look" 

After months of research, I finally found the Contours Options Tandem, I was very excited for it. But had some reservations, since it is not sold in any of the stores close to our home. I was unable to go look at it, test drive it, or fold it up and stick it in my car to make sure it fits. So I was having some trouble "pulling the trigger" Its an awesome priced double, with a ton of nice features but it doesn't matter if we can't actually get it in our car (like most front back tandems) 

Then, like a sign, from the stroller gods. I met a woman in Target, pushing this exact stroller. I stared across the baby  department, like a total creep. I finally walked up and asker her how she liked it. She had a 21mo old and a 2 mo old. So slightly closer together than Carson and Ollie. But still. Same age concept. Not like having a 5 yo and 2 mo old. 
I was AMAZED by how nice the stroller was, how easy it folded up (oh yeah the lady was awesome and showed me all the tricks!) and she could not have had nicer things to say about the stroller! 

I went home and ordered it that afternoon! It will be here tuesday! I got a really good deal on it because it was already on sale for 190$ on amazon + 10% off because it was on my "registry" Making it like 171$  Not bad for a double stroller if I do say so myself.
