Doctor Appt.

Hello! had my doc appt yesterday, everything went well heard the heartbeat again. Nothing new to report BUT i think i am starting to show! good thing i told work last week! Next appt is in about four weeks, we have an ultrasound (which would be the big one IF we were finding out what we were having) and a regular appointment.

we are on the search still for a crib, the crib that we were given is very old and I am not sure it is safe still...there is no manufacturer to tell if there is any safety issues, so I am deciding not to use it, call me a paranoid mom if you want to, but i just dont want to take the risk to save a few bucks.

weekend of rain, and pickles

This weekend was alright. friday night we went to Bug-A-Boo Bay for supper that was fun adn bria loved looking at all the fish in the tank! Then saturday Bria slept till 9:30am which was okay because friday night she was up a lot...teething. Then we went to the Todd County Fair...it was sad...barely any buildings or exhibits or anything! Then it downpoured on us. We left and brought bria home for a nap. Then we picked cucumbers, carrots, green beans and onions. saturday night we rented Gran Torino. Brent liked it I went to bed early, had a horrible headache ALL saturday still have it today actually. Sunday we hung out, did pickles so now we have about 20 quarts of pickles....for our first batch this year. Felt icky and sick sunday too.

Today I have my doctor's appointment

Bria's one year picture

Last night we had her one year pictures, I was nervous...new person doing the pics and bria has been soo tired and crabby lately...but she was good. we have gotten her to smile better before but we ended up getting some awesome shots! here are just a few i like...

Weekend

Friday night went to a garage sale and bought a big ziplock bag full of play food. ones that have the velcro so you can "cut" it. and a Hammer thing. bria liked the food so i went th enext morning and bought the grill too...it makes noise and talks. it is cute. I am thinking we might need to get her a Kitchen for Christmas. Or maybe ask one of the gmas and gpas and give them that idea. Anyway, then saturday Brooke, Roby and Roby came over, it was cute to see them together. I got pictures I will have to post another time. Then Brent went golfing for the Sports Boosters tourney. His team did okay I guess. Me and Bria went grocery shopping. I was almost $7.00 under budget! YAH i could of done better without bria with me but all well! oh and saturdya morning bria slept till 9:30am and we woke her up then!!! so she didnt get a morning nap, at lunch she was falling asleep while eating. then she took a four hour nap! she must be growing! I cleaned and organized on saturday, I think i am finally regaining some energy. Sunday we hung out and played outside. Bria LOVES eating apples off the tree in our yard! loves it! That was our weekend! :)

Baby Belly

so i am starting to show...now i dont think it looks like a preggo belly but it definetly looks like i have a spare tire, i am pretyt sure i need to tell work SOON, or they are going to find out themselves. Probably next week or so. I hate telling people...i dont know why, but then i feel somethign bad will happen!

Right now due date is February 16th. but we will be trying for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarian) sooner then that. I will keep you posted.

Next appt is a week from monday i think. just a normal appt.

Bria updates

Bria had her one year check up on Tuesday, she is now 23.3 pounds and 30.5 inches long and her head is 18 inches. She also got two shots, they did NOT sit well.....she was running horrible fevers and she was just crabby!! and now that that is FINALLY almost over with, she is teething! she is getting her 5th and 6th teeth at the same time. hopefully they pop through then mommy can get some sleep!
she is crawling and trying to get everywhere and daddy is still her favorite!! otherwise she is good! :) i am hoping the daddys girl thing will eventually turn into mommys girl!

coupons

lately i have been buying the Sunday paper, checking out the Peach for which stores have the best deals on groceries, making a meal list for two weeks and buying accordingly and following my strict budget. NOW i just made a budget and tomorrow will be my FIRST experience going to a larger grocery store and HAVING to follow my budget...I do have a little extra just in case my first time doesnt go well. Anyway, first i want to share that i have already went to the two other grocery stores that had the best deals. Last night i went to clarissa grocery store. they have the best deal on Pepsi products right now, but so far i am not sure i really need pop, so i didnt buy anything. then today i went to staples local grocery store and bought Smart Ones, ravioli, potatoes, and chicken breast. yes a local grocery store had a better deal on skinless boneless chicken breast then anywhere else that is local. THEN i searched online for coupons, found 2 $1 off coupons for chicken breast...so i got 2 dollars off. so today at Ernies (staples groecery store) i bought 4 packages of chicken breasts, 5 smart ones, 10lb of potatoes, and two packages of these egg roll things, all for 31.98 this is a savings of over 20!!! I am pretty proud of myself actually! :) HOpefully I can continue.

SOOO happy shopping!!
