I'm back.....

I know what you're thinking...

Um, hello Sara...where are you? It's been a while....
You're right, it has been a while. Almost three weeks. Tomorrow I will be 37 weeks, which is considered full term! woohoo! And to be perfectly honest, I really hope he comes tonight! Today at work, I had my last baby shower and it was wonderful! Several of my parents came with the kids and of course, all of my co workers were there. It was so much fun! You know, I feel so blessed by how generous people have been. In fact, Matt and I were talking about that just the other night. We've been praying the entire pregnancy that God will provide...meaning financially... and it has really caught us off guard how much He has provided in other ways...such as our changing table being given to us....grandparents buying nursery furniture....tons and tons of donated clothes, toiletries, bottles.... Wow. It's all pretty amazing.

So for the quick update, yes the baby has dropped. And yes, I am uncomfortable. I lasted on Procardia for a week and then told my doctor I couldn't take the excessive swelling the medicine caused anymore. As of last Friday, I have began to dilate and efface. Not much, but it's a start so we are thrilled. The nursery is complete. We painted last Friday night with the help of Matt's parents and Jenny. The crib is assembled and adorably outfited in baby bedding. I just love my bedding! "Bee my Baby" by Brandee Danielle. I am so happy that I held out for the bedding I really wanted. There are four main colors: yellow gingham, green plaid, black gingham, and white sherpa cotton. It is just gorgeous! We painted the walls a creamy white/yellow.

That's all for now. I need to lay down while dinner cooks. I'll write more soon, I promise. Thanks for your prayers. Pray that he comes soon...now... :)

love,
Sara

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
