31 weeks

After this weekends scare, I didn't do much Sunday. I had a Dr appointment yesterday and told her about our little hospital trip. She told me to just take it easy and to not over do things and drink plenty of water (which if you know me, it's definitely not a problem to drink more than enough water!). Ryken checked out great again, 160bpm and measuring right on again. She could even feel his head right above my pelvis... so he's not low haha! I start going in every 2 weeks now and my next appointment is Sept 27th.

In other news... Derek comes home Thursday and doesn't have to go back to Wyoming!!! He was gone for 3 1/2 weeks, home for 4 days then back to Wyoming for 10 days. He will be getting stuff ready for another Hawaii trip, so who knows how long he'll be home.

While he is in Wyoming, we bought a new car. The Armada had been an issue from the moment we bought it a year ago. We tried trading it in to the dealership I bought it from (they said they'd help us since we bought the POS there), but when it came down to it the price they wanted to give us for the trade was not what I was initially told... in fact it was about $5,000 off of what I was told. So we walked away from the deal and kept dealing with problems. On Monday before Derek went back to Wyoming, he took his boat up to the lake to play and the Armada barely made it to the lake and just crawled going home... while back firing. Tuesday morning we took it into Puyallup Nissan where our favorite service writer, Steve, told us that he didn't want us leaving in the Armada and that we're getting a different car. They suggested a brand new Pathfinder... that didn't work. Way too small even for just me and 2 kids, let alone my 6'5" husband. I was discouraged to say the least when they didn't have anything that I thought was big enough for us that we could afford. The salesman showed me an 07 GMC Acadia, and I was shocked... that thing looks small, but has an amazing amount of room! Thankfully they were able to get us into the Acadia and with minimal negative equity from the Armada... in fact about half of what the other dealership was going to roll over. I'm very happy with it and we even got to test out how big it was this weekend :] I'm praying that this car is good to us...

Anywyas... SUPER long post, but this weekend was crazy!
