baby helps?

Well, things are looking good for the Jackstad family! Garrett recently got a job in Bellevue, WA, and we are looking for a new place nearby (yay for our own spaces and decorating!). We found out our little bun in the oven is a boy, and we are LOVING the name Charlie. He is kicking around inside me like no one's business. I haven't decided if that mean's he's a soccer player, swimmer, ballerina or just a pro wiggler. Either way, I get to find out in 3 months! WOW. Which brings me to the real reason for this post:

I need help. It has recently occurred to me that I am having a baby, and those babies typically have needs. Like carseats, strollers, cribs, diapers, etc. It has further occurred to me that I am completely hopeless when it comes to the former items... ie, I'm lost! I've googled it a hundred times and I still don't know which is best--there is so much information out there! So I appeal to all the moms out there: Any tips? I am hungry for advice. Please, please, please let me know all your favorites! Thank you thank you!

and just for good measure, and because i have no current prego pics, here are some dorky ones from our little stint in hawaii in May.
