21 Weeks

Its official ... We're having a GIRL ... Brian is still adjusting :)
We started a registry at Babiesrus and Target ... what an eye opener to how much stuff there is out there!

Baby girl is the length of a carrot right now! She is nudging me regularly and its quite hard to get use to... 9 lbs gained so far and the bump is starting to become a step above the rest of me although some days bigger than others

Kroger paid me 0.12 cents!

Kroger is always hit or miss for me but usually if you catch the Mega Event its some pretty good deals...Basically you buy any 10 items as part of the deal (there are usually 50-75 items in the mega event)and 0.50 cents comes off each item. You must buy 10! Here is my breakdown:
Ragu Sauce 1.79 (.50 mega deal = 1.29) $1.00 coupon off 2
Ragu Sauce 1.79 (.50 mega deal = 1.29) = 0.79 each
Reach Toothbrush 1.00 (0.50 off) = 0.50 (1.00 off coupon) paid me 0.50 for each one!
Ronzoni Pasta 0.99 (.50 off) = 0.49 (1.00 off 2) = paid me 0.01 each x 4
Kraft BBQ Sauce 1.09 (.50 off) = 0.59 (0.45 coupon doubled) = paid me 0.31 cents!
Tax = .20
balance 0.12 owed! This worked out this way because I didnt realize she didnt scan one of my toothbrushes until the end after scanning all the coupons! Since you have to buy 10 to get 0.50 off each item it took overage on all the coupons so after she scanned the toothbrush my 10th item it came me a negative total. Usually when the coupon is scanned it wont let you get overage! I'm happy! I feel a little bad when she handed me the 0.12 and the cashier said she had never paid someone to shop!

19 Weeks!

The bump is starting to develop...feels like I just woke up this weekend and it was there!
