Buy a New Car. Check.

We have been meaning to buy a second car for quite a while now. Our goal was to get one before the baby comes so we wouldn't have to keep sharing one car. The procrastination is finally over and we now have 2 cars and Mckinley is still hanging out in my belly.

Brandon thought it would be fun to get the car for me on my birthday. I think it was a pretty sweet birthday present! We've been car shopping a few times and I hate it. Brandon has done pretty much all of the research and finally found one that was perfect so yesterday we went and got it. We're both really happy with it. It's quite the step up from our old '96 camry. :)


My whole birthday yesterday was awesome. We had a fun lunch to celebrate Dallin graduating from BYU and Brandon's mom made a really yummy cake for me for my birthday.


She put 6 candles in it because that's how many days were left till my due date.



Today we are headed off to the park for a picnic and then later this evening I am going to the mall for a 1-hour pregnancy massage, thanks to my amazing friend Jessica. I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!!

Yeah! New Cars are always fun! That cake looks awesome! What kind is it! Good to see your doing well. Happy Birthday and I am so excited that you are 6 days away...or maybe sooner.

Wow! I need a birthday like that. We bought a car right before I had my first and I thought for sure the excitement (and stress) would put me into labor, but it didn't. Maybe your pregnancy massage will do the trick.

Happy Birthday again Steph! Congrats on the car, and wow, you have one creative and dedicated replacement! How sweet of her to do all of that for you. We need to get together to take a picture of our bellies together before mine disapears! What are you doing the next couple days?
