Life is Good when You are Paid to Shop!!!!

Yes that's right!  You heard me (read me?)!  I really had no intention of going out shopping today on "Black Friday."  However, I could not help but notice so really good bargains at CVS.  Below is a picture of my loot.  Now I still consider myself pretty new to the frugally shopping mommy world, but I could not help but be proud of myself on this shopping trip.  I made a good $21 and some odd cents on this trip.  Check it out!

Well, I'm not sure what Monkey girl and I will do today.  I'm still pretty pooped.  I'm just over 8 weeks along now, but the morning sickness has hit me a lot more with this baby.  Not so much the throwing up, as much as the constant nauseated feeling, which I think is worse.

Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving Holiday.  I know I've been behind, but I'll post pics of the family a little later.

Take care everyone!

Check out this cool site!

I actually found this site out off the The Grocery Cart Challenge blog.  It is totally awesome.  It is a free, book-trading club.  You register and setup an account.  Then you create your bookshelf of books you'd be willing to trade.  Once someone requests a book, you mail it, and you earn credit on your account to get a book of your own!  I love it!  Just click here for the link!  Try it out and let me know what you think.  I just signed up tonight, and I've already had people request 2 books from me, so that's 2 books I get for free!

And so it begins....

And so it begins... 

I'm 5 1/2 weeks along now.  So far I feel pretty good.  I usually feel queasy in the late-evening (around bedtime), and just really tired during the day (I seem to always be yawning).  Oh, and yes, the frequent bathroom trips.

Tim gets a bunch of kudos today.  He just left with Natty to go to the library to give me some "alone" time to rest up.  So I guess my version of "rest up" is to mess around on my blog (?).

Just this week, I'm started getting stressed about things that need to get done.  Natty's birthday party is Saturday.  I'm trying to not over do it, but I want it to be so special.  I know she won't remember it, but I will!  Definitely not looking forward to going back on track, but that's 2 weeks away.

In other news, we're still praying hard about Tim's job.  We could "really" use it, and we are praying for a miracle.  We'll see what the Lord has in store for us.  I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much if this isn't for us, but I'm excited at the same time.

Well, hope everyone is off to a great Monday!

Baby "Incredible!!!!"

Sorry I am a little behind.  It has been SOME weekend!  It all started Friday morning.  I had a dentist appointment at 9 AM because I had been having a toothache.  Turns out I ended up leaving at 12:30, AFTER my root canal.  Didn't feel a thing during the process, but BOY, I sure felt it afterwards. 

After the dentist appointment, Tim and I went to our Hallelujah Festival at our church.  I dressed up Natty has Baby "Incredible."  This was my first attempt at sewing anything beyond buttons.  While I did mess up on the stitch for her logo, it - overall - turned out pretty well!  Here are some pictures from the evening...

"Baby Incredible!!!"

I had class most of Saturday.  My in laws were visiting some friends in the neighborhood, so we invited them over for some pumpkin pie.  We also go to share "this" with them...

"Baby Fanning" will arrive sometime in July.

We are SO excited, and in awe of this miracle God's given us.

If you think about us, please keep our family in your prayers.

So far, I feel great.  I did not get morning sickness until I was about 10 weeks along with Natty.

I have my doctor's appointment, routine bloodwork, and all that fun stuff this week.

Happy Sunday!!!
