Our last few childless moments

This past week we got to celebrate my sister's 20th birthday, celebrate my 27th birthday and our 4th anniversary, spend some quality time with my parents and we BOUGHT A NEW CAR! We're trying to get out of the house and enjoy the ease of being spontaneous before Baby L makes his appearance. We keep hearing how life changing it will be so we figure we may as well make the best of last few childless moments!

So to celebrate Sarah's birthday Mom, Sarah and I went to the Burke Williams spa in Torrance for some massages and girl time. It was so much fun to relax and laugh with them, and we may or may not have gotten in trouble for talking and laughing too loudly in the spa area but it's probably because they need to lighten up a bit over there. :) Amazing massages, great atmosphere and we loved all the amenities-- we will definitely be going back!

While we were spa-ing it up Dave, Dad and our good friend Jonathan were doing some car shopping. We found out earlier that morning that our stroller was not going to fit in the back of our little car. Literally. Would. Not. Fit. We were already planning on cramming the car seat into a position that would make it uncomfortable for Dave to drive, but now the stroller wouldn't fit. What about the other "stuff" that we will undoubtably be bringing with a new baby?! With a little panic, we stepped up our car shopping and Dave found two great deals and took the men to check them out. It was so successful that he came home with a new (to us) GMC Acadia! It is going to be perfect for us and we are so excited.

Here is a picture of it in the garage.

Then we spent some more time preparing for Baby L. Here is Dad and Sarah putting our swing together. Thanks guys!

And the car seat is officially in the back seat!

We are pretty ready over here for this little guy to show his face but is seems he is going to hold out on us for a little while longer. I haven't been feeling great this week and have had contractions on and off since Sunday night but I hear that's very normal and doesn't necessarily mean labor is imminent. We keep hearing "it could happen in a few hours or in a few days". Thanks Doc, that's so helpful! :) So we're still waiting (not very patiently) over here. We'll let you know when the time comes.... hopefully SOON!
