I need advice on the best double jogging stroller

Chariot cougar 2 Baby jogger performance Bob revolution duallie My husband thinks I am insane and we should wait until the baby is born but I want to have everything ready. I have been on the internet for many hours researching and reading different consumer reports on the best double jogging stroller. Most say that if you are an avid runner you need a fixed bigger front wheel this is helps to not waste as much energy and is easier to push. But than some consumers who say they run say that the Bob duallie revolution has the best swivel wheel that can lock for jogging or unlock to swivel to go to the mall. Also the Bob Duallie has an attachment to click in the baby car seat at 6 weeks. I have also been looking at the chariot cougar that you can add a fixed bigger wheel for jogging, or add swivel wheels, or you can add a bike trailer attachment. and a baby neck support for 6 months. So what is the best for running? I also don't want to have a stroller for jogging a stroller for the mall a trailer for biking too much stuff. Does any one have a suggestion hopefully something cheaper. My Husband does not like the price on these two strollers. But I want something that lasts and is the best to use.

Baby #2 on the way

I will finally announce that we are going to have a baby girl July 25th. I haven't had much time to think about it with moving to our new house and staying busy with Tacoma. I would like to tell everyone just in case they see me and wonder if I have gotten really fat or pregnant. maybe I am both but any way I am so excited.

Mother of five for a week

Abuela with Mauriella, Tacoma, Kate, Sam, and Andrew Tacoma with his glasses Jumping on the Tramp with all of Stephs kids Tacoma hangin out with Emily's kids Mason and Kache Me and Tacoma came up to Logan the day after we moved in to our new house in Price. So we still have boxes everywhere. Steph and Ben went to Florida and she asked me to take care of her kids from the 18th to 25th. Now I know why Steph is so tired all the time. It is hard work. It feels like I jumped in to run a marathon with out training for it. Steph has at least build up endurance to go to Logan from Wellsville 5 times a day for Piano lessons, soccer practice, Ballet, gymnastics and grocery shopping. I have jumped from one child to 5 in one week and I am totally exhausted. I am not going to have five children under the age of 7 from this experience. I have had fun but have lost my temper a few times. It is more tiring to help each child do their chores than clean the whole house myself and takes twice as long. the 3 and 5 year old like to destroy the house when I am not looking and the 8 year old loves to argue her way out of everything.

The Smiths are back

So the last time I posted was the 31st of October. A lot has happened since then. Paul was working in Herriman as a Physical Therapist, we were trying to sale our house in Salt Lake but never did we ended up renting to someone in our ward. We were staying with Paul's parents during the transition helping Paul's parents out since Pauls mom has been sick. Paul did not like working in Herriman because he felt like he was micromanaged and we got a job offer in Price Utah. Price is 2 hours from Moab, Lake Powell and 1 hour from Provo It is a very small town they have a Walmart, Smiths and Albertsons. But they have great hiking, biking and any outdoor activity which me and Paul love to do. We moved to a small apartment on the third floor by a big catholic church. Every time we told someone were we were living they would say "I thought the nuns lived there" Paul would tell people that it is were they played the movie Batteries not included. It looked just like that. Any way we were in there for three months trying to buy a house in Price and finally moved in last weekend. I love not having to go down 6 flights of stairs to do laundry leave Tacoma screaming on the top floor and run back up. Any way we are doing good.
