Wheeeew weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That about sums up our past few weeks...They have been absolutely crazy...

Okay let me think back to all the fun, crazy, random things that have happened.

Last I wrote my wonderful hubby and I had determined that his fun sports car, 2 door, 2 seater was no longer a logical car for the fact that we are about to expand our family. So off we went with a list of 3 SUV's that we thought would be fun to drive. Again no rush to buy anything just checking everything out..The first weekend of test driving we saw and drove two. The first one we love, it was big enough inside to hold up to 7 people (yes we are about to be a family of 3 but I like space) lots of fun things on it and really drove more like a car....Then we went to try the second one and as we got into it Dan got in the back and I should have known we were in trouble when I saw his face in the rear view mirror...His head was hitting the ceiling...Then when we switched and he started driving it was just as bad. So that one got knocked off our list...

So the following weekend I had a hair cut downtown and Dan decided to come with me so we could grab lunch afterwards and go to a dealership for the last one to test drive. I was very specific look up where it is and we will go after lunch... So my hair appointment was fine, I got a cute shorter cut with wispy bangs look......Then off to a new yummy place for healthy hamburgers for lunch...(If there is such a thing as a healthy hamburger)...Then the real drama begins, my wonderful hubby starts driving on the access roads near downtown and really not the best neighborhood so I ask so innocently what are the cross streets we are looking for? He had no idea..I guess that should have clued me in that he had no idea where we were going....Then after 15 -20 minutes of looking we found nothing.... So I ask for the address and phone number that I know he wrote down...Not so much....So we are looking for an imaginary dealership in my opinion..Then I said okay well were is the other dealership because you mentioned two...It was in MCKINNEY!!! Okay that is at least 35-40 miles away from were we were...Do you have an address/phone number or cross streets for that one? nope just somewhere in MCKINNEY!!! and this is about the time that psycho prego came out....Poor Dan.... After my outburst we calmly headed up 75 as I know where a different dealership was and they tend to all cluster around each other...so we made it finally and test drove the car..So cute and fun but really quite small and not sure a stroller and groceries would fit in the trunk and no 3rd row seating (because again we need lots of space) ...So on our way out we went to the dealership next door that was the car that we loved first and they had several used ones and 6-8 hours and many random stories later we drove home with a new used SUV that I love...I think my favorite thing about it is the heated butt warmers and Dan's is the navigation system (he thinks I am directionally challenged)...
In the meantime I have had several gusher nosebleeds and finally go to see my doctor and they take 10 (yes I counted them pre filling them) viles of blood...I was so surprised that seems like a lot... And we all know how fond I am of needles...And for those of you that know me i got a juice box afterwards and was thrilled...It is the little things that make me happy....Then this week I got the results (again let me say of course since I went to the doctor I have not had a single nosebleed) and they said everything looks fine but one protein level was a little low so I am going to a hematologist tomorrow...JOY!!!

So back to the car situation we had the car about 3 days and my so ever helpful hubby decides last Wednesday night to go out to the garage at 10pm at night to try and set up the disk changer and the navigation system etc...So I was pretty ansy the next morning to get to work as I had a pretty important meeting and got up early so I could get there early, etc...As I walk out to the new SUV I noticed my clicker won't unlock the doors...hmmmm weird.... So I use the key to open the door get in get all situated and put my seat belt on...And go to turn on the ignition and nothing..Needless to say Dan left an overhead light on the night before when playing with the car and killed my battery...NICE!!! I was so furious I called him at work (yes on his recorded line) and did not even say hi I said "What did you do to my car??????" Needless to say I got a jump from our trusty insurance 24 hour hotline people and made it to work only 1 hour later but Dan did lose all new car privileges.....I got over it pretty quickly and of course have laughed about it several times since then...and Dan drove it this past weekend..heheheh

So another random story my neighbor that i don't know very well came over last Friday night to let me know that in case we hear any weird noises over our fence that they have a calf in their backyard....WHAT???!!!?!??! Like something that goes MOOOOO? I asked?? I mean come on we live in a nice development with not a whole lot of yard space...She said yes and explained her husband has a farm over 2 hours away and the calf was born a night or two ago and the mom has abandoned it and it will die over the weekend unless he brought it home to bottle feed it...Of course goes for my heart strings and my tear ducts....I have noticed a pregnant women can cry at anything....(I tend to cry when watching a sad or romantic movie) So needless to say yes i am living next door to a calf.....MOOOOOOOO!!!! We do turn all the noise off at night occasionally just to see if we hear anything but no such luck...

and now what everyone has been waiting for my 29 week picture...I can not believe it I am about 10 weeks away from meeting Samantha....Seems so crazy to me....




I also weighed in this week at the doctors office and i gained only 3 pounds...yeah!!!!

Lots more to come as we finish the babies room in the next 2 weeks and take some pictures...

Hope everyone has a very happy holiday weekend!!!
