Soooooooo

As you may have read over at his place, we had another visit to the hospital. It seems as though each week I am either getting a shot at the Dr.s to stop the contractions or going to the hospital to have them give me a shot to stop the contractions. It sucks. Friday I had to call him at work to come home. By the time we got to the hospital they were about 4 minutes apart, and they hurt!!!. Not to mention I have tiny little veins in my arms, and as far back as I can remember no one has ever been able to get an IV started in my arms and my hands have always been used. My right hand in particular. Well, the nurse blew a vein in each hand. The pain of contractions mixed with the pain of a needle blowing your vein is unparrelled to anything I have ever felt before in my life. Because the area was hurting sooooo bad to get the IV in on my wrist she first had to numb it, and guess what...I still felt it...not all of it, not the stick or the initial push, but when she started moving it farther in...and yeoooch. I'm surprised she didn't blow that one too.

I am not one to lean on someone a whole lot for support or comfort, but just having him there, feeling his hand holding mine, his face brushing against my head...helped make it seem not so intense.

But that wasn't the only event this weekend...

We went out yesterday to look at cars. We have been talking the last week or so about getting a new or newer vehicle. One that all the kids could fit into once the baby was here. We researched different cars on the net and decided to look at The Hyundai Santa Fe. This year is the first year with the third row seating, and for the price and gas range it seemed like a pretty reasonable compact SUV.

We went to the Hyundai store, and once we looked at it, I knew pretty much right off the bat that it wasn't exactly what I wanted, mainly because D. is still in a booster, and the baby will have an infant car seat, and then we have R. and S. R is smallish and really could probably sqeeze in between the two car seats, but S would have to sit in the back on the third row...getting to the back was the problem for me. You had to manuver a little with the seat behind the passenger side, flip it, push it and tilt it...is kinda how it had to go just for them to get back there...toooooo much trouble with two car seats, even if one would be coming in and out for the most part at the beginning. I wanted something convienent, with the space. But we took the Santa Fe for an overnight test drive...lol...and drove it right over to the Honda dealer to look at the Pilot's.

When we pulled up I was hangin out the window talking to my husband when this kid...well 20 yr old or so...says your at the wrong lot, this is Honda.

Okay I am a 30 yr old, 9 month pregnant, cranky lady...and in no way should a salesman be taking that tone with me. If I am driving another car to your lot and looking...it should tell you I am ready to buy. And I am here so maybe I am not happy with what I am driving onto your lot...hmmmm...
So I said to him a couple of things which he responded to....blah blah blah...and finally I tell my baby that if he thinks we are buying from a fool like that he was crazy...I was ready to leave and just settle on the cumbersome Santa Fe.

Another dealer overheard part of the exchange and came over to my door an intorduced himself and pretty much blocked my view of the kid and talked us...well me into looking around some.

Long story short, two hours later...and we have a Honda Pilot. I told him to make sure he told that kid thanks for the sale...lol...

Its not brand new like the Santa Fe...but its a Honda...I have more faith in a Honda than a hyundai...and for the features that it has, and the much less cumbersome way of getting to the third row (flip a switch and the seat practically moves for you) it was worth it. We got a full warrenty that comes out to about 60k or 4 years bumper to bumper...and the payments about right where we needed them.

Plus my house sold on Sat. at the auction. Not a whole lot of money but enough to pay off the loan, give my daddy a little to help him out for always bing there when I needed some help with R. (babysitting and such) and pay off the wedding and have a little left over. I loved my little house. And it was little, but it was mine. I miss my apple trees and my lilac bushes, but this is my home now, and it was time to let it go. My heart is here...

Now some pics...











The vehicle beside it is the Hyundai that we have to take back later tonight...

lol...
