First of all, thank you so much everyone for your kind words on Monday...it really did make my day better! I ended up breaking one of my molars on Monday evening at dinner and had to go in to the dentist yesterday to have it re-built. Augh. Monday was tough. My dentist said that it is totally a symptom of pregnancy...the extra fluids caused my gums to swell putting pressure on a weak tooth...pop! But, it is fixed and I feel great today, so phew!
Just wanted to post that DH and I bought a Honda Odyssey yesterday and we are so in love with it! I am not one to get caught up on material items, but let me tell you, the thing is like driving a couch! So comfy!!! So, now we are ready for the babies...not that I want them here now, but we will be able to get them home! :)

wow! You really did have a terrible day on Monday. I'm glad things are better now.

That's great about the van! We just bought a new Town and Country on Saturday and I feel the same way you do. It is just so awesome! I never thought I'd be so excited about a minivan.

Wow Heather... I'm soo sorry you had to deal with the dentist among all the other lovely & normal things going on with our bodies. Hopefully that'll be the last for a while.
I understand what you mean about your new minivan-even though I'm not a van person, car minivan all the same- it sure makes a difference when you enjoy your ride :) Hopefully yours will be full of little ones pretty soon.... we still need to decide on a second vehicle & get it - soon I hope!!!!

Man, you really did have a true "Monday"!! Glad that is behind you!

We are looking at trading in my beloved, plush, luxurious Buick Rendevous CXL for an Odessey. Even with the third row up, it doesn't have the cargo space I need for a double stroller. Unless my DH would like to just hold it every time we go out as a family. (Don't think so!)

The Odessey gets great reviews! We would love to get an Acadia or Enclave, but it is so hard to find something nice, comfy, roomy AND gets good gas mileage.

So much to do and so little time...

Congrats on the van, I've heard good things about the Odyssey. It must feel good to have that taken care of! I remember buying our new car right before my daughter was born. Walking in there with my big belly and husband and browsing wagons, I felt like such a stereotype!! Now I'm wishing we had gone for something bigger! Good for you guys- 2 sets of twins- you're going to love the new van for sure.

Congrats on the van purchase! I've heard that that one is great! Sorry to hear the rest of your Monday was crappy too-even though I love my dentist, I still hate going to him! Glad you were able to get everything fixed up and taken care of quickly though. :)

Have a GREAT Wednesday!

Heather, I'm sorry to hear about your tooth. I'm glad you got it fixed and you're feeling good!

DH surprised me with a Honda Odyssey for my birthday and I am also COMPLETELY IN LOVE with it! You're right--super duper comfy and I feel very safe driving it. They're awesome!!!
