"Here we've gone again. . ."

Well, I'm just going to keep putting baby stuff on this blog until Ollie arrives. This video is from when Zoey was about 6 or 7 months old. It is at the old apartment, and our life was so different. At this point, Matty was staying home taking care of Zoey exclusively. He hadn't started college, or writing for any of the newspapers. He took great care of her, and I credit him with her current cool personality. Who wouldn't be cool if they listened to the Scorpions all day??!! The title of the blog today comes from the song that is blaring in the background of the video.

Yesterday, I thought, was the big day. Matty had predicted it, and believe it or not, I actually give his predictions credibility. I had contractions on and off all day, but they may have been caused by the stress of the last few days. The day before yesterday, the white car broke down in the CVS parking lot--just short of a parking space, of course. We had to have it towed. I was shocked how little anyone cared that a woman, 9 months pregnant, was standing in a parking lot with a disabled car and no one offered to help. Matty took care of it, but it was still an eye-opener. Then, we realized yesterday that I really can't be home without a car, so Zoey and I had to go with Matty on a bunch of trips to take pictures for 3 different Business First articles he is doing. Well, by the time we did all of that, I was having pretty strong contractions. However, it was still too sporadic. I eventually went to bed and now I am contraction free. We have since found out that we must buy a new (at least to us) car, as the white car is now a money sucker, with little hope of running well again. So, with the birth of our second child right around the corner (maybe even today!) we are stressing about car buying, etc. However, nothing is ever simple, and we have gotten used to it. As Matty and I discussed yesterday, all these crises have to be looked at in perspective. We are all healthy, we have a beautiful house, one new car, jobs, an amazing daughter, and Ollie on the way. So, enjoy the flashback video. It gives me hope that I will eventually be "normal" again--you know, seeing your feet and all!
