We got a new car!! Last Saturday we went to the Ford dealership in Sandy just to test drive some Edge's. After looking around, we found 2 Edge's we wanted to test drive and also an Explorer. After driving the 2 Edge's, we decided we didn't need to drive the Explorer because we thought it would be pretty comparable. We did look at all the interior, and realized that we liked the size of it better than the Edge. It was also $1,000 less than the Edge, but didn't have leather, and also only got 1mpg less than the Edge (because it is the 4 cyl ecoboost motor). We figured it was so much more car for less price and about the same mileage, so we went inside and had them draw up some figures for the Explorer, just so we could get an idea of where to start bargaining with other ones that we would look at. While we were waiting for them to discuss their price, we realized that we didn't even know what color the interior and exterior were and I had to go out and see! So not like me! Well after just some slight bargaining, we got the price down to less than X-plan price (employee pricing) and didn't figure we would get a better deal than that, so we decided to go for it. I hate we did that, because it is so typical, but it was a lot easier that way. We knew there were not any more ecoboost motors in the entire valley, and knew we really wanted it, so we didn't feel like waiting for any more to show up either. So we went ahead and bought the car and took it home that day. We drove to show it to everyone in the family and everyone was as surprised as I was that we got it.
We had such a relaxing and fun 4th of July this year. We spent the morning washing and cleaning out the Accord to get it ready to sell. It was so nice to spend some time in the sun, but I failed to put any sunblock on, so I got pretty burnt. The car looks really good though! If anyone is interested in buying it, let me know!
Later that day, we went up to Melissa's for a BBQ and fireworks. We had chicken and steak, potato salad, chips, and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Yummy! We lit fireworks out in the street. The kids loved watching them and holding sparklers. We didn't go see any big city shows because we didn't feel like dealing with all the traffic. We had a great, relaxing time.

On July 2nd, I went in for another ultrasound and midwife appointment. They wanted to check the position of my placenta to make sure it had moved up and out of the way. According to the ultrasound, it has moved up quite a bit, which is a relief. The baby is still a girl, she doesn't have cleft lip/palate, and she is still in the breech position. I was given instructions on how to try to get her to flip. I really hope she does flip!! My midwife appointment went well also. They tested my blood sugar for gestational diabetes and it was 99, which is perfect! Yay!! I heard the heartbeat again and it was a little slower this time, but they still said it was ok. My blood pressure and other vitals looked great also.

I had a few coupons for Kohl's and have been on a couple shopping trips for baby clothes. Chase has figured out that I'm getting pretty excited for the baby to come! I also found some matching outfits for our baby and my sister's baby - it's going to be so cute and make great pictures! We've been doing more with planning baby showers for the end of this month and the beginning of next month. I'm excited for that so that I can start putting her room together.
Chase started his first day of training at work on the 27th. He feels pretty confident and is learning about everything it will take to be the pharmacy manager. It is nice to have another paycheck coming in! Chase is excited to work again and has been busy studying for his boards this Saturday and this Wednesday. Good luck!! I'm so nervous! Everyone please pray for Chase!
Last Friday we went to Shauna's for Jaycee's 1st birthday party. We had Hawaiian Haystacks for dinner and visited and did some small fireworks when it got dark. Chase's cousin Lauren was in town so we got to spend some time with her too! Fun times!
I only had to work on Tuesday this week and it was glorious!! I really look forward to only having to work 2 days a week when the baby comes!
