Sale baby!

So as I was standing in line at JM's 50% closing sale.... I realized pretty much everything we've purchased for this baby has been on sale. I didn't feel bad about it at all.. in fact I felt very proud and when i'm finished purchasing this seemingly endless list of items, I might even add up all my savings and go shopping for myself.

not a bad idea...

Today we bought the car seat (something Ryan has been fretting about). I for sure thought it wouldn't be there still since the store started it's sale at 20%, but sure enough the right color and everything was waiting for me to come take it home!

The stroller we found came without a car seat so i had to pick out not only a matching car seat but one that had an adapter- but i love the stroller so it was worth the extra hunt and with all these sales no extra cost!

the stroller is a gift from my sister so i don't have a real picture but i'll put it all together after sunday for those of you not able to be there (and i bet are dying to see what it looks like!)

7 months

My lovely sisters, mom and Nate

This second trimester has gone by smoothly, thank God!

As we all know, the holiday's are well under way and I am so busy with normal Thanksgiving/Christmas activities, work, plus all the baby stuff and as if thats not enough my month of December is FULL of catering events... So "we" are working pretty darn hard!

For an update... Thanksgiving was wonderful- we had a "friends-giving" that turned out delicious and fun. Thanksgiving day was also great- full of good food and family.

The baby room is coming along (no pictures yet) it's still in progress... trying to get ryan to NOT use it as his junk room. I think he's drawn to it since he used that room for 3 years as his "music room".

Otherwise, we are all doing great! Planning the shower this Sunday and very excited for it! I can't wait to see so many of you that I haven't seen in too long!
