In Store Specials

A new Target opened about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and we've really enjoyed it. It's a cross between the Super and normal Target's.

Anywho, the 1st weekend they were open, they had alot of 'in-store specials', but most of the items were sold out and no rainchecks were offered.

We were at Target last night registering, and I decided to stroll through the grocery section. Target had released the 2nd wave of 'in-store specials'- and they were GOOD! A 24 pk of bottled water, kellogg's fruit snacks and prego pasta sauce were all on sale for $1 each.
I found a $0.50/1 prego sauce coupon on the floor- so I only spent $0.50!

Anywho, keep your eyes peeled for the endcaps at new Target's!

Confirmation

We had our monthly Dr's appt today- and Dr. S confirmed that we are having a BOY!

He looked great today, good strong heartbeat, plenty of fluids, etc. He was asleep at the time, so we didn't get any good ultrasound pictures, but that's fine with me.

Best moment this week: purchasing a crib and a jogging stroller
Movement: yes!! Just little flutters when I'm sitting or standing still
Food cravings: still stuck on the donuts
Gender: we'll confirm the gender at our appt this week!
Belly Button in or out? In, but it doesn't look as deep...
What I miss: sleeping on my tummy and sleeping all night
What I am looking forward to: our big appointment this week- they'll check the major organs, take a good look at the heart and confirm the gender
Milestones: purchasing some big items; starting to feel pregnant, not just like I'm gaining weight

Shopping for the baby

Saturday morning, as it began to snow, I met my parents at the 'Mothers of Multiples' garage/consignment sale. They have it twice a year, from 7am-2pm on a Saturday. Mom and Dad went early and found me this great jogging stroller for $50:

Today, we bought this crib at Target (Delta Canton), and I picked up some free wipes with the $5/1 Huggies coupons and the $1.50/1 Target Huggies coupons. I also picked up some $1.50 Dole salad and $0.89 Market Pantry cereal. I don't think Baby K will need wipes any time soon :)

I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but I went to the 'Just Between Friends' consignment sale in Tulsa back at the beginning of March. For $75 I got all of this:(moses basket with rocking stand, baby bathtub, boppy pillow, 3 hooded towels, stacking toy)

We are going to have the moses basket and stand in our room, but we didn't want to spend alot, so second-hand was the way to go!

We feel really blessed to have found all of this baby gear for discounted prices. Granted, the crib wasn't on sale, but I really researched the safety, etc- and that's the one that we wanted, and happened to be in our price range.

Do you have 'Just Between Friends' or 'Mothers of Multiples' sales in your area? How else do you find great baby deals?

Big coupon news!

We're getting a CVS drug store/pharmacy!
It won't be super convenient, as it is being built at 71st and Yale....but hopefully more stores will be built in the years to come :)

I've gotten back into couponing a bit- we saved over $23 at Target last week. I still haven't made it back to Homeland- I just need there to be enough good deals/free stuff to make it worth my drive over there.

Darn.

My beloved Cannon G9 bit the dust today.

I sat down in my chair to upload my photos from my KC trip, and it wouldn't turn on. I charged the battery and still nothing. So, after an hour with Geek Squad at Best Buy, my camera is on its way back to Cannon. Estimated return date- 2 weeks from now :(

I'm really sad, but my mom said we could borrow there camera, so I feel a bit better. I don't like to spend alot of money, and when I do I really like to research out my purchase. I saved all my Masters graduation money plus some of my own for that camera- it was the 1st big purchase I made for myself in a long time.
Sigh.

On another note- OSU beat Tennesse in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament! So exciting!

Gotta love the public library!

I finally renewed my library card (They don't accept the card I've had since 1st grade anymore!) and stopped by our local branch to see if they had any pre-natal workout dvd's.
They had 1 in stock, but the librarian requested FIVE more for me! I don't think I'll have to purchase a single dvd.....

Anywho, I checked out 'Prenatal Fitness Fix'- and it's pretty good. It has a 40 minute cardio workout with some yoga moves mixed in, and then a 20 minute 'couples' workout. I haven't attempted the couples workout, I figure I can do that one on my own though.
Parts of the dvd were challenging- but the instructor is pregnant and reminds you to take frequent water breaks.

I hope to review some other prenatal workout dvd's soon! Do you have any recommendations?
