Has anyone seen @mrsmarygs? Am I just missing her? I haven't seen her since all the ridiculousness went down yesterday... I can't remember what she posted, but I'm hoping no one got in trouble.
GUYS. So we're kind of in a tough spot financially, we're trading my mommy mobile, the big gorgeous black dodge pickup, in on a little Toyota RAV4 and I'm actually thrilled because it will fit two car seats so much better than this tiny back seat. And our payment will be cut in half. I'm so excited.
@wyomama0427 i have a rav4. They arent that small inside you can store a lot of ishh in there. Gas mileage is amazing too. I love my RAV4. I have a 2010.
@labby18 the backseat is so much bigger than this truck's back seat. It will be so nice to fit two car seats in. We're getting a 2007, we were originally looking at an edge but we came across this and it has ridiculously low miles, it's so clean and the previous owners serviced it every thousand miles. Like 1,000 miles. It's awesome. I am so excited! DH told me he never in his life thought he'd be so excited about getting a little RAV4 lol. I am so happy that we're cutting our payment in half.
@wyomama0427 I have a 99 toyota 4 runner those Toyotas don't quit! This is our "kid" or "beater" car that the kids can (and likely will) destroy. I told my OCD husband I did NOT want a new car with kids in it and have to deal with his (what's that scratch/stain/dent/etc) crap.
@wyomama0427 I used to have a RAV4 now I have a crv. I would still have my rav (not rsv) 4 but the air went out and my parents gave me their crv because they didn't want Tanner riding without air not worried about me just him
Yay @wyomama0427 for a new car! So exciting. I have a feeling we'll be there soon enough. We have a 5 seater SUV and we are going to try to make that work with 3 car seats. Should be loads of fun.

I'm here!! I've just been busy with shopping and my family is in town, so I'm trying to spend time with them. So sweet to notice. And I didn't get a warning for my "shooting" post, so we're all good.
Just so everyone knows, the car seat fits BEAUTIFULLY in the back seat. Plenty of space. @cmar1006 what are you looking at getting next to fit three car seats?
Went to a library fundraiser today.... found "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" for 75 cents. Pretty excited about that.

@wyomama0427 we aren't looking to buy anything anytime soon. We purchased car seats that will fit 3 across. I think once I have to transition the twins out of infant carriers is when we'll need to upgrade. So maybe next year. Who knows.

That's awesome! We needed something that would fit car seats without having to push your seat so far forward that your knees touch the dash lol. Is it weird/adorable/cool to use the phrase "the twins"??? I think it's so adorable! It's crazy to think that you're working double time in there, two little bodies with two little hearts and two little brains! It's insane!
@wyomama0427 it's still so surreal, but I'm getting used to it. Usually I just say "the babies." The cutest is DD is always wanting to hug and kiss them. And she asks me "momma, are the babies hurting you?" whenever I'm not feeling well.
I'm so glad you guys got the space you need! It's going to make such a difference. You'll love it.
@HollyGolightly09 Any ideas for what you want as your baby friendly vehicle?
I have no Idea I guess it will mostly be up to him since he'll be the one driving it. We considered him keeping his for a while and us just trading cars, whoever has the baby could drive mine... but, I don't know.
@cmar1006 twins are just so exciting! My friend had a set of twins and they just keep each other entertained! Lol! Speaking of multiples, I'm watching the nine months that made you and this first episode has a set of identical quadruplets! A one in 64 million chance.
@lap018 I just watched that show the other day! It was super cool and informative but man they just go over so many things that can happen genetically!

I know and they were just like "oh what the mom eats very early in pregnancy can affect the life expectancy of the child" and I'm like REALLY regretting that cheesecake I ate right around the time we conceived lol!
and this exothermal dysplasia girl is so adorable but also so pitiful!
@DPandMB I had a 99 4Runner before we moved overseas and loved it! I got the Japanese equivalent here called a Hilux and still love it. We are actually considering looking at the Toyota Land Cruisers here and having the AF ship it back at the end of our tour. We can get one for $12K whereas in the States it'd be $40K!! Third row seating with three is a must in my opinion--in my experience three across in a 4Runner is tough...

Dude I was *thinking back to what I was eating around the time of conception and the first few weeks and I think I'm gonna give birth to a cheeto...... ugh. And I know, I wanted to just grab her and hug her. I ugly cried when she was talking about how she thought about suicide
