In The Home Stretch

Only 3 days left to go , this lil guys gettin antsy ! He's still movin and shakin in there! Seems like he wants to come out and see what this world's all about! Never had a more feisty fetus before!LOL He just stretches here and there and my goodness! Couple more days pally gimme a break - don't you go doin anything sudden now- everything's all planned - just hold out for a few more days! Tuesday morning. Just hold on there! Carpet guy is supposed to come Monday morning to put in new carpet for his room so I can FINALLY assemble his crib and decorate the rest of the room and put his crib together and sheets and toys and whatnot and make it COMPLETELY complete and finalized!This weekend we're tying up loose ends and last minute shopping to prepare for our new addition and try and enjoy this nice weather too if we can.Then Tuesday I go in for the "Big Eviction" ;) Been waitin 9 months for this moment. Wish me luck! Brendan Michael will finally be here!

Our New Van

Today we got a new minivan. Tom decided to play some hookey from work since he's been feeling really crummy from this bad cold he picked up that's been going around town, he actually got a lil laryngitis from it, and since he telecommutes from home, and spends his days on the phone, he wasn't much good to his coworkers, so he decided it was time to go looking. We've been looking here and there, but not finding much in style or price or anything really that was jumping out at us or suiting our needs. We were trying to stay within budget, but musta caught him on a good day as I was only planning on spending under 8k! We Found an'05 Dodge Grand Caravan with 14 thousand miles on it-{which I can't seem to get because 2006 just basically started, how you get that much miles on a car in one year?} but anyway we figured it musta been a rental because its in fabulous shape, and they wanted 17k for it but Tom talked the guy down to 15 k max,but after taxes and all we wound up paying 17k anyway, which for an almost brand spankin new van thats not a bad price given it has the stow and go feature and seats 7, power everything,dual air, rides real nice-the brand new ones usually go for 26 or higher !! I couldnt believe how bouncy my truck is compared to this thing! I'm still adjusting to parking it, but so far so good! Thomas loves it, he's been wanting a minivan ever since we took the 30 hour drive from here to dads in upstate N.Y. for XMas 2004! So he's ecstatic! Now we got somethin to cart mom n Doug around in when they come visit in a couple weeks and now my prego butt can finally buckle Thomas in the back without squeezin in and gettin stuck between the seat and door frame!LOL I'm already lovin the stow n go feature for groceries! and it'll have plenty of room for the baby's stroller and what not. Guess this is my early Birthday present and mother's day gift and new mommy present..;) Do I have the greatest husband or what?? I think so!! Well just thought I'd share- Pretty color too no?

He Flipped !

Today had my 35 week sono done to see how the lil man is doin, and it turned out he decided to get feisty and flip on me! I was like what??! I got 3 weeks left and I'm sure not much more room left for him to flip back again, I'm hopin that he does, but I was told that his legs and head are where his butt should be, and his butt is where his head should be! Lil stinker! I know he was doin alot of movin an groovin lately, but I had no idea he was makin his way upside down! I mean I'm scheduled for a c-section delivery anyway, just thought it would be a much easier delivery if he came out head first and not butt first ya know? The lil bugger! Everything was going so smoothly, and now this! Ahh well, I still got 3 weeks, hopefully with all the activity that he does, he'll find it in his heart to somehow maneuver himself back to being upside down like a good lil boy for mommmy and just wanted to how it was like one last time to be upright again cause it was so comfy? Hey wishful thinking never hurt anyone! ;)
