A Car, A Hospital Bag and A Full Term Baby!!

Dear Kacie,

You are spoiled already.

Your dad and I bought a new car on Monday. We pretend it is for us but it's really just so we could put your carseat in the car.

That's how much we love you.

Now, I hope that when you read this and I talk about the TV show Psych, you know what I am talking about.

Gus drives around in "The Blueberry" (pictured below)

When your dad and I were picking out a car we were not actually interested in the car we ended up buying. We were looking for more of a small SUV type car. One that would look 'cool' and yet still hold a car seat and allow us to grow as a family in it. But alas, 'cool' cars were not in our price range.

When we got in to this car though to test drive it, we surprisingly loved it!

So here it is, our new car!

Thanks to the Draegers for letting us use there curb to perfectly picture our new ride =)

It is a Mazda5. At first we just called it a mini, mini-van. It even has two seats in the back that fold up if we need them! It is perfect for us to grow in the next coming years because we will be adding more and more little people to our lives, And the back seats are definitely made for little people!

Anyway, as I was watching through a window at the dealership, waiting on paperwork to be completed, I saw a car and I was like "HEY! that looks like Gus's Blueberry!"

And then I was like "Wait! thats our car! We just bought a giant Blueberry!"

And, with that knowledge I just knew that this car was meant for us.

When we got home the first thing we did was put your car seat in the car... I guess it is technically considered a 'wagon' not a car but it is so weird having your little carseat in there!!!

Well, today is your 37 week pre-birthday. Do you know what that means?

FULL-TERM!!!!!!!!!!!

You are allowed to come now. I mean, you can stay in there just to make sure you are all developed and ready, but you can also start getting ready to come on June 16th... That's Father's Day and I think it would be the perfect time. 3 days early, the BEST gift to give your dad, and did I mention it would be 3 days early? Cause I'm ok with that!

There aren't many things left to do! Getting a car was our biggest thing and as you know, we did that! Now we can get you home from the hospital and we can figure out everything else as long as you are home!

I'm working on washing all of your teeny tiny clothes and I've started gathering things for my hospital bag. I've never really stayed in a hospital so I'm not really sure what I'm going to need but one of the best things about the hospital we picked is that it is like 5 minutes from home. I found several lists online of things people take so hopefully I will get it all!

We are down to less than a month. I can't believe it.

We are just so excited! I mean we are nervous too but when it comes down to it, we will figure it out and we have so many people available to help us if we have questions.

We can feel your body really well now. Your bum is right up at my rib cage and your little feet constantly poke out on my right side. It makes me so happy to feel you moving around in there! Your dad and I lay in bed poking at you trying to get you to respond. It's probably a little annoying for you but you'll be fine, my body was designed to protect you!

We love you so much Kacie!!!!!

Love,

Mom and Dad
