29 Weeks - Uber Mama Mode

If you didn't think I was in the "Mama-Mode" before, I can assure you that I am now in UBER-MAMA Mode!!!

Proof #1:
This weekend Bobby & I made the tough decision to go ahead and get the "Mama Car". Yep, we did it.
We traded in the fun, sporty Audi and the loyal Explorer for a bigger and better family car.
- 2006 Honda Pilot -

It is a few years old with some miles on it, but it is loaded (read DVD player) and it has already been broken in by another family with kiddos.

We spent all day Saturday at CarMax getting the deal done. During our debate, Bobby made a great point: This will be our car for the messy baby & toddler stages. After that we can get a nice, new car to tote the kids around to soccer practice and music lessons.
He is right....if my toddler would have slung crap onto the roof, or punctured the leather seats in the Audi, I would have absolutely f-r-e-a-k-e-d. But in this car I can chill and spend my time focusing on the important things, rather than the car.

We are both happy that we won't have to deal with the car seat in that tiny backseat. And Bobby is especially glad that he doesn't have to see me struggle to get out of the car anymore....now I can just slide right out. Great Perk!

We are taking a road trip to see some of my family this weekend. Bobby has already informed me that he is going to let me drive while he watches movies in the backseat. I told him that is fine....I'll just take Fancy and Penny and let them ride up front to keep me company. :-)



Proof #2:
I attended my 2nd PreNatal Yoga class on Sunday morning, and it was amazing. My phenomenal husband encouraged me to sign up for the classes and go, so I did.

The class is obviously tailored to pregnant chicks so there are no crazy positions to try and contort the unwieldy pregnant body into. Instead the focus is on the core and other parts of the body that ache and hurt during pregnancy, as well as helping to prepare the mind & body for labor & delivery. Actually, I have found tons of awesome reasons to do Yoga during pregnancy.

I felt so much better and more relaxed after both the classes I attended.
I am anxious to go again!

Loving the new car and so glad you are getting into the Yoga classes! Yoga is so dang good for you, even if you're doing modified Prenatal classes and no crazy contortionist poses!
