Here’s the first picture of the baby from September 4th- not much to see, but it was pretty amazing to see it pop up on the screen! The two small plus signs are where the baby is- the doctor said it’s about the size of an apple seed. However since this picture is from two weeks ago, amazing things have already happened and by now the baby is the size of a blueberry! We’ll have another picture on the 25th which will be 9 weeks- this appointment will be pretty exciting because we’ll probably be able to hear the heartbeat and by then the baby will have grown arms and legs!
And now onto the goodies….my mom gave me a very generous gift card for my birthday so I’ve slowly been using it as I’ve thought of things that I’d like to have and, as things go on sale (I make my mother proud). So far I’ve gotten new Clinique foundation and concealer, a cute dress for Rob and Tina’s wedding and two pairs of work pants (stretchy and in a larger size!!). Of course Macy’s had a sale for Labor Day so I HAD to take advantage (especially with clearance stuff and free shipping!) so I got a pair of beautiful silk “Rocket Dog” flats for work (since I’ll need to trade in the heels soon), a new chocolate brown sheet set, a Clinique eyebrow kit and finally…a NEW coffee maker!

I’m really excited for the shoes, sheets and makeup, but I’m extra excited for the new coffee maker. I’ve been using an old one that my mom gave me YEARS ago that only makes about 2 cups, so I decided to upgrade to something a little nicer that holds more and is programmable! I’m so excited at the prospect of having my coffee ready for me in the morning! Plus, I only paid $25 when the original price was $75! And I still have almost $175 left to spend….what next? Might save it for some maternity clothes or a new wallet…I’ll have to wait and see.
More bargain shopping...I also ordered a few things from American Eagle because of their screaming deals for Labor day and should get those by next week sometime. Not only was everything that I bought on clearance, but they were offering 15% off, free shipping and buy one get one on their tees and tank tops. So I ended up getting a pair of earrings, one of those trendy fashion scarves, two long tank tops (one black, one white) for layering and four shirts (in a couple different colors) all for $43. LOVE IT! And they can all be dressed up or down, so they will be dual purpose for work and play- even better.

Don’t even get me starting on my grocery shopping on Sunday…everything we needed (had to go to all three stores though) all for $83!! The total savings on the bottom of the receipts from buying items on sale was something like $70! But, I digress…enough about being frugal…
