New car

We finally took the plunge and purchased a car. Rob was wondering if I was just sick of looking and decided to purchase the very next vehicle we looked at. Yes, I was sick of looking at cars. But I also thought this car was a good choice. We went with a Buick Lucerne, it has everything, I mean everything. It has features I did not even know existed. It has the Northstar V8 that we liked so well in the Aurora. But it also has heated and Cooled seats...I had never even heard of cooled seats! Rob is going to love the remote starter. And most importantly-it is Red! My crazy boy decided he had to have a red car. Well that color costs more and it is really, really hard to find them in red. We actually worked with a dealer who went and found it for us. I highly recommend Steve z. at Brookdale Buick- he was fantastic to work with. Anyway, it was a huge sense of relief to have that problem solved. The next dilemma is what to do with the Explorer.

Tired, sick and crabby

I feel like I should document all the fun I have been having this past month to remind me not to do this again! We are expecting our second child- 12 weeks now. All I have to say is if it had been this bad with Nicole, she would still be an only child. I feel like I have had the flu for the past two months while being a walking zombie. I am so tired! And then I ended up with a kidney stone- the ob said it can be a complication of pregnancy- what? Whatever it is, it is not even funny.

Speaking of funny. It was a very big surprise in the first place and God has a very funny sense of humor. I figured out I was pregnant while my husband was unemployed and we did not have health insurance- very funny timing. We have not gotten pregnant in three years and then it happens at probably the worst timing ever. But God has a plan, Rob has a job he really likes and we now have insurance! Sometimes you just have to trust!

Rob is really excited and Nicole is running around telling everyone she is going to be a big sister. I am too tired to be excited- I need a little time yet. Oh well, it will come.
