New Vehicle!

After many months of going back and forth about what to purchase, we finally made a decision. Yesterday we finally got the chance to purchase a new family vehicle. Last month we visited Heritage Honda in Parkville to look at the Honda Pilots, we also checked out Jones Junction, but we found that they didn't have any 2009 Toyota Highlander. We had to drive all the way to Laurel to test drive the Highlander at the Carmax. We weren't very impressed with either Carmax or the Highlander period. Unlike the Pilot the Highlander didn't have a second row bench seat, but this tiny seat that obviously no one will want to sit in. Plus the Highlander was more expensive.

Yesterday morning we started earlier and went Norris Honda in Dundalk to find out that they didn't have any 2010 Honda Pilots and they weren't expecting to get any until mid-October, so we decided to head to Heritage Honda. We arrived around 9:30 and didn't leave there until about noon with a new Charcoal Pilot. It's pretty awesome with tons of room, which we needed with two big 75lb dogs and a little girl on the way, and yes I like being up higher too. I will miss my civic though. She will be with us for another few weeks and then she being sent on her way. My Dad will be taking her.

What a busy week!

This week has been awful busy and long for Tim and I. On Sunday night we had dinner with AJ and Michelle in White Marsh at Kobe's Japanese Steakhouse. This place is very similar to Sakura's. I'm really not sure there was much difference. Other then maybe the price. Last Christmas I won a gift card for Kobe's and yes finally I used it in August. Michelle and AJ also got some great news that they will be excepting a baby girl in January. Both Michelle and I are super excited because our little girls will have playmates. Actually Michelle has tons of friends who just just had babies, so I'm sure her little one can even find a few boyfriends down the road. By Monday evening my feet were so swollen from being on my feet to much. Last weekend, we attended a 30Th Surprise Birthday party for Ricky Smith (Stacy- his wife did an awesome job of completely surprising him). Earlier Saturday Aunt Linda and I took a shopping trip to Babiesrus. I promise you that I didn't buy a single thing for Baby A. Sunday I meet up with my mom and her and I went to Babiesrus in Towson, so she could shop for her first grandchild. By Sunday evening my feet were so swollen, that I was hoping people would not notice.

Monday was a rest day for us, other then working. Tuesday we had our 28 week appointment, were I got great news. I passed my 1-hour glucose test and my placenta has corrected itself. We also found out that I'm anemic, so I've been taking iron pills on top of my prenatal. We also are now seeing the doctor every 3 weeks instead of every 4 weeks.

Wednesday Tim and I toured the maternity ward and were happy to see that we aren't the only one pregnant. The highlight of Tim's night was when 11 couples, that would be 5 pregnant women almost got stuck in a tiny elevator. I was slowly freaking out, but we were lucky enough that the elevator came back down to the main floor and opened. Thank you Lord!

Last night Tim and I are had our first Child birthing class. We both enjoyed the class. Tim learned some massage techniques and I learned some new breathing techniques as well. We have homework for next week. To bring in a sonogram pictures of the baby (which will become our focal point during active labor), we were also asked to put plastic trash bags on all seats in our vehicle, just in case my water breaks in the car. I officially have 11 weeks to go until baby A's due date.

This weekend we have a pretty relaxed weekend in store. We have our first interview with a pedi and then we are running errands and hopefully hanging out with friends. I may even surprise Tim with a few baked dishes. I just gotta find something that looks good.

I hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend.
