Cars, and strollers, and car seats, OH MY!

All of a sudden baby boy is close to his big arrival into the world, which seems crazy! I'm over eight months along and the time has just flown-I can only imagine how quickly the moments will go by once this little guy is actually out and about--yikes!

As we continue to prepare for this new chapter in our lives, we realized there was still a lot to be done. Now some of you will probably think we're a bit crazy, and perhaps we are, but we really felt we needed a bigger car to accommodate this new addition to our family. To be honest, between the dog, our luggage, golf clubs, groceries, etc, when we pack to go anywhere, even if for just a weekend, we seemed to pack the Jeep to capacity. So for the past few months, Andy has been researching what our "family" vehicle should be. Taking advantage of some Fourth of July specials, we ended up purchasing a new car last week and we are now officially set on car space for life!

We purchased a 2009 Yukon XL, and while it is A LOT of car, it really isn't too hard to drive and it is super comfortable on the inside. We traded in the Jeep, which was a little bit sad as I really did love that car, but it was time.

We also were fortunate enough to receive some early baby shower gifts from Andy's folks, Ommy and Poppy, and so now we have our car seat and our stroller! It is quite strange to see those items in our house, just another reminder that baby boy is on the way!

Andy figured we'd see how the new car seat looks in the new car, and while we still have to figure out how to actually install it, we think it fits perfectly!

Thanks Ommy and Poppy!!
