Twins! September 24, 2006
No, not that kind of twins. Car twins.
Dan and I bought new cars yesterday, Accords to be more exact. It was a long time coming. The process wasn’t as bad as I had prepared myself for. We went the internet salesperson route and got a really good deal with less hassle.
I thought I would be fine with one of the lower end models, but after seeing the EX with leather that Dan wanted, it was a pretty easy decision. So, our cars are identical except for the color. Mine’s the silver one.
I told Dan yesterday that after that we’re done spending money. After the house, the furniture, the cars, well I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I feel fortunate that we’re now in a place where we can do this, though. It’s amazing what happens when you’re not dropping $75K on IVF.
Of course it’s crossed my mind like a billion times that I’m jinxing things. All of this stuff will mean absolutely nothing if the little guy doesn’t make it. I know I shouldn’t think that way, but it’s impossible not to for a paranoid nut like me.
Today, though, things are good, and I’m very, very grateful. I hit the 22 week mark today, too, so that’s definitely a good thing as well.

I always like to take the “live life as you want it to be, not the way you think it might be be” approach. (Within reason, of course - it’s not like you went out and bought a porsche cayenne to cart around a baby…) I think it’s pretty funny that you have twin cars! Congrats!
YES to what Kari said. For so long I kept living my life as if I was going to be pregnant/have a baby, etc. I finally had to decide to just live for ME. This is why I signed on to go to the BlogHer conference even though it was actually ON my due date. A sick part of my head told me it’d be something to look forward to if for some reason the baby didn’t make it.
Of course, he did and I went (three weeks to the day after he was born!) and I’m so glad that I didn’t change what I was doing for a minute.
Congrats on the new cars. :) How exciting!
Congrats on the new cars–I had an Accord a few years back and I loved it :-) Happy driving.
Here’s to 22 weeks and what the future holds.
22 weeks, that’s amazing. I am so glad you’re doing well.
Nice cars and congrats on the 22 weeks!
Take care
mmmmmmmm new car smell! fess up have you named them yet? i heart your cars and i’m happy that your able to spoil yourself now because it does mean your not having to fork out more money for cycles.

Congrats on the TWINS, lol. Enjoy things Amanda, you deserve them!
we have a 2000 accord and it’s still going strong!
New things and new possiblities abound! :) GREAT!
Wooo Hoo, very cute cars!!
Ooh, I hear you on the spending money thing. In the last month, we’ve bought a house and a new car (the ‘06 Civic EX). There’s now a moratorium on spending money. The only problem is, my car is on its last legs and I’ll need a new one in the next 6 months or so.
Gah.
Love the Accord, mind you.
Wow!! Congrats on everything! Lots and lots of good things going on at the Manana Banana house!
