Happy Mother's Day Fun

I had a great Mother's Day this year! We started off by going to church (I didn't think I would last through SS)and then went to Logan's Roadhouse for lunch. We were able to use some gift certificates so it didn't cost us a fortune. Yipee!



Sean is always so creative. He had each of the kids make a card and then he had me open my present at the restaurant. Can you guess what it was? Drum roll please......



the last collector's series of Little House - the movies - you know, the one where Albert gets sick, Rose is kidnapped, and the townspeople blow up Walnut Grove! Happy Mother's Day! No really, I've already watched the first movie in an effort to stay off my feet and cried my eyes out!

After lunch we went to Best Buy to pick out my Mother's Day/Anniversary/Having A Baby/Holding a Job For At Least Two Years.......present. I am posting my blog from it right now. It's a mini PC that I can use to do my Purdue work and post updates from the hospital when the baby comes. I absolutely love it! TaDa...



So, for those of you who want to keep up with what's going on in three weeks....now you can since we have an easy way of posting. Stay tuned and I hope that every Mom had a great Mother's Day!

New Day....More Swollen Feet!

So I thought that when I woke up this morning, my feet would be back to their normal selves. I was wrong...they are bigger today than yesterday....plus I gained five pounds!! I guess it's time to start retaining water and everything else. Maybe going to bed early tonight will help. We will see what tomorrow brings!

Garage Sales and Swollen Feet

Today the girls and I decided to go to some garage sales. Well, we hit the jackpot!! I found a white rocking chair for the porch which I have wanted for a LONG time and I love it already. I on'ly paid $10 dollars for it. I also found a corningware dish that I broke about 3 months into this pregnancy....it's only one of the many items I have dropped and broken and I love this particular dish for pancakes and baking my big cookies, but the best find were these...




I just purchased two AVENT bottles from Target yesterday and paid over $20 for two small bottles. Today I got eight small bottles, four with storage tops, and three large bottles all with nipples and caps and a dozen extra nipples in all sizes. I figure to buy these new, it would cost between $140 and $150!! I paid $6.50 for everything!! Whoo...hoo!! BTW...I returned those other bottles today!

But, the negative to all this shopping is this....



SWOLLEN FEET!!!!

Of course, I also went to Caleb's ball game tonight and worked in the concession stand....and now, I'm sitting at the computer, which doesn't help either. I better be off to bed soon and get these feet off the floor!

35 Weeks Today

Today marks week 35 with 4 more to go!

My New Kitchen Faucet and Baby Shower #3

Today was a busy day around our house. The project list has been mounting as Sean was preparing for his big test last Saturday, but I'm happy to say he has taken the test and now it's time to get down to work before this baby comes! Sean worked hard all day to put in my new kitchen faucet. Here's the old...



And here's the new...



We would really like to put in a new sink too, but decided to keep the old one until we make a decision to add on or move. Believe me, I'm just happy with a new faucet that doesn't leak and look yucky!

While the boys were working on the sink, the girls and I went to the baby shower that our church threw for me and another expecting mom. We had a great time. My mom, sisters, and a good family friend were able to come and enjoy too!















And last but not least....here is a picture of me with two of my other preggie friends. We are all due within 3 1/2 weeks of each other, but I bet you can tell who's the biggest!!

What a Deal!

Today the girls and I are stocking up on items that we need when the baby is born. We are mostly purchasing food items so Nena and Poppy won't have to do a lot of shopping while they are here. Our first stop this morning was Sam's Club. This is a fairly routine stop....we picked up some dried apricots, raisins, craisins, bacon, turkey, etc.....

We were quickly in line and had our items on the belt for purchase when the lady in front of me said that she was buying Easter candy for only 81 cents a bag. It didn't take me long to reload my cart from the belt and look for the clearanced candy. This is what we found...






We bought 12 bags of candy (3 for mom's daycare) and only spent $9.72!!! That is so crazy, I couldn't believe it! You may be wondering what on earth we are going to do with all that candy....M&M's, Skittles, Starbursts.....

I can think of plenty....baseball team treats & birthday celebrations at school are just two ideas. I can probably even freeze the chocolate for Easter next year. I just love deals like this!

Surprise!!

Today I was thrown a surprise baby shower by the Purdue Bells. I had no idea....can you tell?



After rehearsal Breanne and I headed down the four flights of stairs, finished putting postage on some thank you notes and was on our way out the door when she said something about her boyfriend leaving something in the lounge. I had no clue...



They decorated the PMO lounge, had food and punch, balloons, gifts....what a surprise! Sean was in on it too.









Thank you so much for the wonderful surprise, Purdue Bells! Love you all!
