More Questions...


I know I don't need to pack yet...but I was wondering what are things you want to take to the hospital in your overnight bag?
I know there are things I need as well as Josh and the baby. I would love any help you could give me.

Thanks!

$$$

Saving Money is my new found love!!!!
My friend Katie has gotten me into coupons. I went with her one day to Target and she got a ton of stuff and paid very little. So I thought I should give this a try. I spend about an hour a week maybe less on-line printing coupons and clipping them out of the Sunday papers.





Walgreens
Huggies Diapers
2 Dial Mens body washes

My total with tax before coupons was $25.81
After my coupons I paid with tax $6.88





Target
4 packages of huggies Wipes
1 pack huggies diapers
2 huge boxes of Pampers diapers
2 Scrubbing bubbles toilet cleaning gels
1 Scrubbing bubbles toilet brush
1 Scrubbing bubbles toilet refill pack

My total with tax before coupons $76.64
After my coupons I paid with tax $40.16

plus I also got 2 $5.00 target gift cards for next time ;)



Walgreens
2 Zip lock bags
1 package plates
2 sticks Men deodrant
1 mens body wash
1 roll tin foil
2 Lysol toliet bowl cleaners

My total with tax before coupons $26.22
After my coupons I paid with tax $6.94




I get deals like this every week or so. It's really so easy, it just takes a little time! I uses two sites called Savings Addiction and West Michigan Mommy. They do all the hard work for me! They match up the weekly sales ads with coupons to save me money! The best part of these websites is they are free.

If you have questions let me know I am still very new to this but I will try my best.

Petunia up-date

Today I had an appointment with Dr. G. Everything is going really well. I am measuring 30 weeks which I one week ahead of where I am. Her heart beat was 147 today and she was moving all over like always.
I passed my glucose test with flying colors. They wanted my glucose to be less than 140 and mine was 109.
Now I get to go to the Doctor every two weeks for the next few appointments, then once I reach 36 weeks then I go every week.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 29 Weeks

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 3.25 pounds gained

Maternity Clothes: I am wearing my maternity jeans and loving them. They are so comfy! Plus some cute maternity dress that I just love in this hot weather.

Best Moment this week: Hearing her heart beat!

Gender: It's A GIRL!

Movement: Yes it is so amazing. The punches, jabs, and kicks are getting a little bit stronger. I love feeling them and knowing that she is inside of me doing well.

Food Craving: None, just happy I like all food again.

What I miss: Sleeping on my belly and sleeping through the night!

What I am looking forward to: My baby showers :) I have my first one this Saturday! Also I called Pottery Barn and her bedding should be here by next week!

Belly Button: In

Symptoms: I am still tired a lot but feeling great!


Well that is my up-date!

We decided that we needed something to call her since we are not going to name her until she is born so....Petunia will be her name until then.

Have a great week everyone!

Please list your pro's and con's for the one you use. If you use something different we'd love your input as well. Thanks
