Mama's Got a New Ride

Well, Josh got a new job... he drives to downtown Nashville everyday... in our only car that we shared while he was in school. So... now he has a GREAT job downtown... and MAMA needed a new car... We knew we wanted an SUV... for the baby... for the camping we love to do and can't wait to do w/our kids... and the many road trips we love to take... and this is what we came home w/after test driving several... Meet RUBY!

Only had 1 other owner... it's practically brand new inside... smells like a new car...I love it!
Things are going great... haven't been sleeping too much.. still waking up several time a night... and now I seem to be waking up at like ...4 am... ready to go! It's starting to drive me a lil crazy.
I have a new belly shot to share... Now... some of this is bloatedness b/c it was after work so I ate throughout the day... but here ya go... 15 weeks 4 days!

Im wearing my Bella Band every day pretty much... but still in pre-pregnancy pants! Im going to try and hold out as long as I can... especially since the weight I've gained so far... about 7 lbs... is all in my belly... so my legs still fit in my jeans. My hips are starting to grow out of them though which Im excited about b/c I never really had any hips!

Still haven't scrapped... Haven't had much time... Still trying to relax when I can... and this whole looking for a car for me has been driving us crazy pretty much w/comparing... test driving... searching... so Im glad that is finally over! I can now start to concentrate on some scrappin!
Well, Im off to bed... Just wanted to update really quick...
3 more weeks until we find out the gender!!!
