The car with the bad Ju-Ju


So, My adorable little Ford Focus is sitting in an impound lot with the trunk inside the back seat. Adam, my mom and I were in a car accident on Tuesday night. We were rear-ended coming back from Inn-and-out burger. The car behind us failed to see the stoplight and hit us. We were pushed into the car ahead of us and the car in front of that. We are waiting for the claims adjuster to decide whether or not to total our car. At first I was so sad to think that my car might be totaled; until Adam reminded me that in the year I have had the car it has been broken into twice and an accident. I think my car is cursed. If we are able to get a new car, I would love to have an SUV (so much safer for us and baby!) Any recommendations? Overall we are hoping that everyone involved in the accident is okay. We are all very sore(especially mom), but no lost limbs. All things considered it could have been much worse.

Other updates on our life:
My employer, Ari Diamonds, is doing great! It is such a fun place to work. They are doing a giveaway for pair of pearl earrings or a men's bracelet for the person that guesses closest when I will have the baby and how much it will weigh. Anyone can go on Facebook and post their guess. It is so sweet that they are doing that!!! I love my job!!

Adam's company is taking off as well. They just had their best month ever! I am so proud of him. They are constantly getting more accounts and the business is coming in!

We are still trying to pick out a boy name. We are open to ANY suggestions. We apparently cannot agree on any names. Maybe we will have the doctor pick our son's name ;)

Baby Boy!!!

Adam and I are very pleased to announce that we are having a baby boy! We are both very excited for this little bundle of joy to arrive. I still have four months to go, but I am over half way there!!! Overall, I am feeling good...just a little tired.
I have had my mom in town for the last week and I am dreading the day that she leaves. Who is going to help me organize, and cook, and clean?!?!? My mom came down from good ol' Montana for my ultrasound and to throw me the cutest baby shower ever! She did everything in green and yellow. (pictures to follow) It was so adorable. She put in so much work. And then her work has only continued as her novice daughter needs constant help on "baby related" things (for example I got a brush for the baby's head at the shower and I had no idea what it was. I would have used it to scrub dishes).
The baby shower was a total success! I felt so guilty by the end because of all of the gifts, love and support I was given. My family is so blessed. I know that I am bringing a baby into this world who already has tons of love from so many people! Now if I could just find a name for this little guy everything would be perfect! I'm open to any suggestions. :)
