We finally bought a car and...

We finally bought a car!  We bought a used ford focus, a 2005 with 18,000 miles on it.  We have been in a rental focus and its pretty nice.  The safety rating was 4 stars for children and adults, which is better than the Yaris.  Its also a little bit bigger.  We bought it for 6,000 pounds, which is $12,000 cheaper than the Yaris.  Pretty good deal.

We also bought a fridge freezer today.  Out here most of the houses only use mini-fridges!!!  So our place has a hook up in the garage, right off of the kitchen for a regular size (by regular, its still smaller than American fridge freezer).

We also got a bottle sterilizer/warmer and a baby car mirror.

We are getting ready  for the big day which might be before her due date.  The doctor mentioned the possibility of inducing early because she is concerned the baby might be too big because of my gestational diabetes.  They are going to do a scan on wed to look at her size and decide then.  It would only be a week early if anything anyway.  A week and a half tops, if they decide to induce directly after the scan which, they wouldn't do (its usually something that needs some scheduling.

Our stuff should be arriving from the states into customs on June 25th, then hopefully it won't get held up and will be delivered shortly thereafter.  We are getting a bed delivered on Tuesday so we are going to move into the house that night anyway.  Drew is ordering a TV and some computer monitors as we speak.   So things are really getting squared away!

  1. Sounds like you are getting settled in! I went shopping today and will be sending out a package soon. Want to be sure to get it to you by the time Anna comes. Hopefully anyway. Glad to hear your mom and dad finally got their luggage. Keep us posted on what the ultrasound reveals and when you are having the baby. Love and hugs! Aunt Sue and Uncle Roger

  2. Kim, I tried to call you today but it said that you were busy. I don't know what that means on Skype. Anyway, I hope you are getting lots and lots of rest. Your boredom will soon be over.
