Niece

So, I had a new niece born on October 4, 2011. She is beautiful. E.A was 8lbs, 4oz, and 20 in long. Such a big, sweet baby. My sister had some issues with her blood pressure, so they decided to take the baby a week early. We are extremely glad they did! She was born via c-section because my sister wasn't dialating very good and the Pitocin they had her on was making the baby's heart rate drop... But mom and baby are doing great. They came home on Thursday around 8:30pm. So glad they are home and both are doing great!

New Car

Well, I have been borrowing my sister's car for about 3 or 4 months. So I finally bought be a car this weekend, and it is exactly what I wanted, an 04 Ford Escape, except 1 thing... It's a stick shift. The problem with that?? I don't know how to drive a stick shift. So I have had driving lessons with my dad every night like I am 16 again. It's pretty fun. Just me and dad time with no interruptions, no fighting, and it just gives us time to talk, which if you have a big family like I do, you cherish every alone moment you get to have with your parents.
