A Lot of Fun

Wow! Has it really been two weeks since my last post? Almost...I haven't been on the computer lately since we got back from South Carolina for the fourth. My sister lent me her "Grey's Anatomy"seasons, and I've been a little wrapped up in them!

We had so much fun in South Carolina! First, we found out my sister, Sarah, is expecting a GIRL! Of course I was right!! We find out in two weeks for us, which is killing me!! We found out at 18weeks with Maddy but are having to wait until 20 weeks with this one!! Ugh! I'll make it though! Anyways, Maddy had so much fun with her Grandma Mar, Grandpa Gar, Aunt "Say-Say", Uncle Peej and Aunt Aly. She calls Joe's dad "Pa-Pa", but always acts confused what to call my dad. Hopefully she will figure out soon that she has two "pa-pa's"! She had a blast and a half in this delux pool from Grandma Mar. I got in it two, but all the water spilled out and I knocked he down, so I think I was too big!!

On the fourth we went to see fireworks! I thought she would love it, but nope. Here she is before the fireworks started:

And here she is after they started:

Joe said she was too young this year and I think I agree! It was really hard to come back home, but my dad and sister are visiting this week, so that will make things better!!!

In pregnancy news, I am 18 weeks! now!! Yeah!!! I can really feel my stomach stretching all the time. I've got to start the cocoa butter ASAP! I somehow got away stretch mark free with Madeline and are bound and determined to go stretch mark free this time. Who knows though! I read the baby is the size of a bell pepper now! That seems really big to me! I'm feeling good, my heartburn comes and goes, but other than that pretty good! Just counting down until we find out the sex in two weeks! At first I was really laid back about it, but now that it's getting closer, I am getting really ansy (sp?)!

Nothing new has happened in the baby's nursery for about two weeks except for some more clearing out, so I am really ready to get the room together!!!

One more thing that has been a lot of fun is that I did my first shop at Publix with the "southern savers" attempt and the coupon research and saved half of my purchase!!!!! I was so thrilled! It was a small shop, only about 5 things but I saved $15 from a $32 bill!! I got an 82 diaper pack for $9!!!! That made my day!!!I was pretty proud! Now, if I can only keep it up!
