New Car & Growing Belly

I got a new car!! I sold my '97 Acura to my niece and bought my parents '05 Accord (we like to trade around cars in my family). I have had my Acura since 2005 and it was the first car I purchased, made payments on and owned, so it was a little sad to see it go, but.....I definitely like my new ride!!! It's bigger, rides smoother, has nicer features, and is a little more "baby safe". I feel like more of an "adult" in the Accord. I know that sounds weird, but since I got my Acura when I was in college, it has always felt like a young college kids' car. I feel like such a grown up now. And I LOVE Accords. Seriously, they are my favorite car! My mom got a brand new Accord with all the fun bells and whistles and I am just a little bit jealous!!In other news....I have officially hit the 6 month mark. 3 months to go!!! It seems every time I post about the pregnancy I am complaining. So, here's to looking at the bright side...I am starting to feel actual kicks in my belly -which is pretty cool. I am excited for Ryan to start feeling and seeing them too!!

I feel so behind. All we have is a crib (and a couple of outfits thanks to my MIL). The kid doesn't even have a name yet. YIKES!! My goal is finish
{insert baby's name here} room during spring break.

A few BIG things we still need to purchase:


  • changing table
  • recliner
  • travel system
  • Pack 'N Play

I need to start checking out Craig's list for some of this stuff!! If you hear of anyone selling recliners or changing tables please let me know!!

24 weeks

I am a little late posting this {this Wednesday I will be 26 weeks} but here is my growing bump. I think my bump is bigger than what the picture makes it out to be -or maybe I just feel bigger!!


At my appointment last week the doctor asked me if I like being pregnant. Hmmm....Well, between the heartburn, and not being able to find a comfortable position to sleep in and sore ribs, and gaining weight, not being able to run and workout, not being able to put pants on without almost falling over, and more heartburn, and leg cramps at night, and the awful back pain when I sit for too long...Well, Dr., I can't say that I necessarily like it. The plus side to all of this is I get a baby out of it all. I know I sound like a complainer and I know some women who aren't able to get pregnant would trade places with me in a heart beat. Nonetheless, being pregnant is not something I enjoy!

T-minus 14 weeks and 3 days until my due date....but whose counting?!?!
