Another great grocery shopping trip!!!

I just love sharing how much I'm saving on groceries these days! I just got back from Albertsons and spent $41.85 but saved $55.61! I love it!!!! I got 46 items and if you divide that into what I spent you figure I spent about $.91 on each item! It's awesome! My food storage is even building up a little bit. I actually have food on my food storage shelves.

Here are the rules:

3. What I create will be just for you - completely original.
4. It will be done this year. (that’s what the rule says, but I’ll probably get it to you in a month or so)
5. Now for the catch. The catch is that you’re supposed to re-post this on your blog and offer the same giveaway to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog, but I understand if you can’t. It’s all about sharing the love! Be sure to come here and post a link. I WILL check your blog! *wink*Be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it, and link back to me. So….who will be the first 5 people????

Nightmare Before Christmas

Adam and I love anything Disney! One thing we've been really into lately is Nightmare Before Christmas things. So at collectiblestoday.com I found this really cool village set for it and just had to get it! They send you a new house every month or so. I stopped the collection for now though because we were running out of room (and money). But this is what I have so far! I lvoe this set! I think after the baby's born I'll start a Pirates of the Caribbean set that I really like on the website. I just need to get a curio cabinet for all of my breakables! 

Grocery Smarts

There's this website called Grocery Smarts that I've been really getting into. It helps you save a ton of money on groceries. Tonight I went to Albertsons with my grocery list and coupons and got 30 items totalling about $89. I only spent $36.21! I saved more money than I spent with my coupons. It is AMAZING, and I'm in love with this website! Plus, on top of that, I got $20 in coupons back to use on my next shopping trip.

My dream

I've been wanting to post the dream I had on here for a while now and I'm finally getting to it! So a weeks or so ago I had the most amazing dream of my life! In my dream we had Logan and I was on maternity leave. I was sitting on our bed with him in my arms and I looked at him and said, "You look just like your dad!" This baby's face was the cutest face I have ever seen!!! EVER!!! I honestly can't get over how cute this baby was, and the best part was it did look JUST LIKE ADAM!!! (slight differences, but what baby looks exactly like their parents?) I woke up and couldn't help but smiling. I keep wondering if I actually caught a glimpse of what my son is going to look like. I'm even more excited to see this little baby that's been growing inside of me so I can see if this is what he's going to look like.

On another note, Adam and I went and saw the movie "Coraline" this morning. It was pretty good! The only bad thing about it was our 3D glasses kept sliding down our noses. After that, we both went to my voice lessons then to Target to do a baby registry. We finally had a time together that we could go do it so we seized the opportunity. I'm sure I'll add more onto it once I look at the things online.

I haven't forgotten my blog I promise!!!

Okay, let me update everyone... I saw the doctor on Wednesday and he said everything was fine and I could go back to working as normal. So no bed rest for me, yay!!!! Thank goodness! What a relief!!! Logan can come early, just not this early. I am now almost 33 weeks (on this Tuesday) and I am ready to be done... I'm so tired all the time now. Adam looked at me the other day and said, "You look tired." I said, "Because I am tired." He told me I look tired all the time. I guess my outside is now showing what I feel on the inside! Well, at least I'm almost there! Just 7 more weeks... (and then a completely different tired is coming) We have the crib and mattress, car seat, and bassinet/playpen. I just need a breastpump and I would like a rocking chair in there but it's not really a need. We were going to do a Super Mario Brothers theme in his room, but that was just too expensive to do what we wanted to do. So now we're doing Disney's Pixar Cars. I bought a border for the room and it looks so cute! I'm getting more and more excited and nervous as it comes closer. I'm realizing that I have to push him out....
My sister told me about this awesome website that can save you a TON of money on groceries! I love this website! I'm excited to go grocery shopping now. Two weeks ago I went shopping with all these coupons from this website and our total before they scanned in the coupons was $87. Our total after the coupons were scanned in was $57. I was SHOCKED!!! It was the coolest thing to see though! I went grocery shopping again this last Saturday and I didn't save quite as much, but it was worth it. I'm going to a free class this Tuesday to learn more about it and I can't wait! I'm hoping to learn how to use this better so I can save more!

Triage Fun

So yesterday at work I got my weekly baby update in my email. Well, in this email it said call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms. Well, two of them were menstrual like cramping and lower back pain. Well, a couple of times I have had cramping and I've had lower back pain for about a week now. It's just gradually been getting worse. So I asked my friend at work if she thinks I should call. We decided it couldn't hurt so I called. Well, they told me I needed to go to Labor and Delivery and they would let them know I'm coming. My stomach dropped! I called Adam and let him know where I was going. He couldn't get out of work or he would be kicked out of the training he was doing. So I went by myself. I left work around 5:00 and got the the hospital around 5:20. I got all checked in and was giving a cup to pee in and a gown to put on. So they took my urine to test for a bladder infection. Next they hooked me up to some monitors. One for the baby's heart beat and the other for contractions. I was having some contractions, and when they took my temperature I had a slight fever. So they gave me some Tylenol to get my fever down and I laid there some more. Well, around 7:00 I wasn't liking sitting by myself too much so I called my sister to come and sit with me. She got there around 7:30 and it made me feel lots better to have someone there with me. My fever had gone down and they gave me some pills to calm down my uterus and stop the contracting and hopefully to stop my back pain. Well, it was working. My contractions went away and my back pain left. I was just feeling very tired and loopy from the pills. Then I got sick and I said to my sister, I think I'm going to throw up. She grabbed me a bowl and as soon as I got the bowl I threw up. After that I felt much better and laid back down. About 3 minutes later I was feeling sick again so the nurse gave me the garbage can until she could get me another bowl. As soon as I got the bowl I threw up two more times. It was not fun! By the time they let me go home, it was 10:00 at night; and since I had taken those pills I couldn't drive. So I left my car there and my sister drove me home and my dad and Adam went and picked up my car. It was a very long night and now today I'm on bed rest. I'm supposed to call the doctors if I start cramping or getting back pain again. Hopefully I won't. It's too soon for this little guy to come out!
