A day at home

Car Update

Well... I'm an independent woman again and it feels amazing. This morning when I drove my car out to the shop I was so excited to drive it again. I love Frank's car but it's just not the right fit for me so I'm very happy to get my own new car that I chose :). Speeding over the interstate with my car was the best feeling ever... first I wanted to leave Zoe at home but somehow my brain was working crazy again figuring out how I am gonna stand 1-2 hrs all by myself. I totally wanted to take a walk but then the questions came up: where am I gonna put my purse and my two water bottles? Too much weight to carry so I decided to take the peanut with me and packed everything up, dropped off the car at the shop and Zoe and I took our 3 mile walk. I just love our stroller and I seriously prefer to take a walk pushing a stroller with baby inside than taking a walk all by myself. Zoe actually liked it a lot since the area wasn't known to her instead of cruising three times around the neighborhood *lol* (Sita found that VERY boring back when she visited us *lol*). As long as I get my workout in... I don't care :). After our walk, we stopped at McDoof, mommy got an iced coffee and Zoe her banana and my car was fixed :). I'm one happy woman again.

I stayed at home all day yesterday and was bored to death! I actually started cleaning the house just to do something! Once Frank came home Zoe was just running around playing with him like a wild child... you could totally tell we haven't been out all day *lol*... she's just like us, she needs to get out and do something, see something... and if it's just running out to get groceries! Too funny.

Well... we have some more great news... as I type Frank is driving with my car to the dealership, getting my car evaluated and leaving a deposit for our new fancy car. The problem is that the one we'd like to have is not available right now, not even the model/type. And since this is a big purchase I'm not really willing to settle for anything different than we chose. And now that my car is fixed we have time anyways and can just wait it out until it's available again. Until then I'll enjoy driving my little speedy and look forward when the time comes to transfer all the baby equipment into our new car... here some pics of it... isn't it GOOD looking?

We'll get it in Tafetta White like you can see here:

My trips to Costco won't be any problem any more... this is the view without the last row which I probably won't use anyways unless we have visitors in town. The cool thing, the last row can sit very comfortably three people... I tested it out and I loved it... so visitors... come on over :)

Yeah, welcome to my new cockpit, ready to take off? This is actually the interior color we chose: Truffle Leather (at least it looks like it... I think it is... hard to tell with these pics)

And here in WHITE again

Uh WOW... this car just looks amazing and once you drive it you just fall in love immediately!!! The good thing about having this addition... now we'll keep the baby equipment in this one and Frank's car won't be used for family trips anymore unless we need his All-Wheel-Drive in the winter ;)... so no switching around of car seat anymore... this will be so cool. *DREAM*... hopefully you'll still find me at home when we have it and not only driving around the whole day *lol*

All about a car

Somehow Zoe still loves her 'baby' things... I can't get her out of her baby bathtub even though she's getting slowly too big for it...

She didn't like getting transferred into the bigger car seat... when I moved her she was unhappy and pointing to the old one but we need to make her comfortable for her new seat since Henry needs to use her baby seat soon! So we decided to give her a treat and let her sit forward facing now since she's 1.5 yrs old and ready for it anyways... she seems to like it but the bad thing is now she can see everything we eat, drink or have in the front and wants to have it too *rolling eyes*...
Can you see Henry sticking out there? When we were waiting for my car to get checked out, Henry really disformed my belly like I've never seen him doing before! He's a crazy active kid... today I asked my midwife if that's normal? Or if I have to worry... but she says it's totally normal... he mind as well take advantage of it now... soon it'll be too cramped in there and he won't be able to move as much.
Zoe and I were cleaning out my car the other day. We're ready to get a new one now. Frank is trying like crazy to get the model/type/color combination we wanna have but apparently (you'll be surprised) it's not as easy as you think!!! Well... eventually we might strike a deal or not... we'll see... we'll update you if we have some cool news. And of course I'll make a little photo shoot once we have the new car, posing pregnant with a toddler in front of a minivan is the best thing ever *lol* plus that minivan looks SOOO SEXY!!!... YEAH YEAH YEAH...

31 Weeks

Time is going by way too fast! I'm exhausted today... we had a power outage from midnight to lunch time with a crazy thunderstorm that kept me up all night and my brain working 150% how to do certain things without power what we have to think of etc.! Well... first thing on my mind when I got up... COFFEE... so I manually opened up the garage door (succeeded very happy) and drove to Tim Hortens to get some fresh hot COFFEE for Frank and I, a bagel for momma and hot oatmeal for my little Cutie since I couldn't prepare her morning meal myself. Just the best for my loved ones, right?

Back home I enjoyed eating my bagel while Frank came downstairs with some game plans for the day and then I had to get Zoe up for our midwife appt. to be in time. She didn't like that at all... her whole day was ruined but what can I say! She has to go with the flow here *lol*...

Our baby checkup was very good. I honestly don't really have to go *lol*... everything is always good but we use the time to chat a little since our midwife Jenny will move into our neighborhood, they finally won a bid war at a great house here so they'll close hopefully soon and can move before their baby will arrive in Nov. A Playmate for little Henry :)... my Blood Pressure was good, I measure right on the week and I only gained 2 lbs in 3 weeks (normally it's one pound per week by now)... so I did a jump for joy on that one :). Only 9 weeks to go... man!!! It's crazy... it seems like time is RUNNING here...

HandsOn Museum

Cooling Off

What's the best way to cool off during this 'heat wave'? Yes, playing in water :). Temps here for over a week are right now 90-95F (33-36C)... HOT HOT HOT... and there is no relief in sight! So glad we have AC!!!

On The Phone

Don't let Zoe find your phone... because the chances are very high that she's going to find it quick and won't let go of it soon. She even changed the answering machine recorder from her grandma!!! We still have no clue how she did that! She's too smart for her age!

I have no clue who she's copying 'talking'... but her phone calls are always very cheery and happy and she's always cracking up... is she copying me??? *lol*
