Even Sweeter!

I decided to go get some more diapers since I made money on the last transaction. I ended up spending a total of $15.76 on ALL of these diapers + the Zantac that I need because of these two babies.

It's worth the work!!!


I am excited now that I know how to coupon at Rite Aid. This morning was a great start to my week.

Here is what I did

I bought three packs of diapers at $8.99 each
Total $26.97
I used
1~ $2.50/1 pack diapers coupon
1~ $2.50/1 pack diapers coupon
1~ $3.00/1 pack diapers coupon
1 ~$1.00 off Rite Aid coupon
1~ $5.00 off $25 dollar purchase coupon
1~ $4.00 off Rite Aid coupon

TOTAL COUPONS= $18.00
I submitted a rebate check for $10.00

Total before coupons 26.97
Coupons $18.00
Subtotal $8.97
Total after tax $10.27
Total after I submit my $10.00 Rebate check $.27

*** I also got 3 coupons for $ 2.00 off my next purchase so I have $6 in free money so I MADE $5.27 on diapers!!!

When I told the lady I have twins on the way she laughed and said I need to stock up on this deal!

You can only submit one rebate check for $10.00 back so if I do this again I will spend $10.00 on 3 packs of diapers which is still not bad.

Definitely a boy

I was really excited to have a 3D ultrasound today. I guess Baby A did not want it's picture taken.... Oh well. With an appointment every week I am sure I can get a better shot. The doctor said that everything looks the same from last week so I have to be on bed rest for a few days but I can have a few days of freedom as well. I got sick from laying down so long that we did not attempt a shot from Baby B.

25 Weeks

Well here is another Belly Shot. I am almost as big as I was when I delivered Audrey. I have gained 22 pounds. Tomorrow is the dreadful day when the doctor puts me on bed rest. I am dilated to a 3. The goal is to make it to November. I feel like my energy is gone. It is getting really hard to tie my shoes, so slip ons for Audrey and I are coming soon. As far as names goes one will be named Brody and I am not sure on the other name yet. Hopefully we will get some 3D shots tomorrow. I found out I could have been getting them all along at my doctors so I am excited to see what they look like in 3D.

Perspective

There are times when I think to myself how am I going to do this. The question why me comes to thought way too often right now. Sometimes I think why me.. there has to be someone more qualified than I am. I found this video a little while ago and it is just the encouragement that I needed. Dennis and I have been blessed finically right now. We are blessed to be staying in Dennis' sisters apartment right now. It seems like during a trial, I am ungrateful and have the why me attitude, weeks later or even months later I can see the blessings that we were given during the trial. I can see the blessings right now. I feel so blessed to have the lords trust to raise these two boys at the same time. I am so grateful for the work Dennis has and his willingness to work LONG LONG days to provide for our family. I am excited to meet our little boys. Some days I wish I was meeting them tomorrow for the sake of my poor stomach. I am almost as big as I was with Audrey when I delivered her. I have to make it 10 more weeks. I know these two little guys will change our lives forever. I know that it will be more than challenging at times but with the right attitude and Heavenly Father by my side I can do this.

Audreys cookies

I have made many trips to Joann's craft store getting things for the babys bedding. Audrey loves going with me. She always finds some craft for her to do as well. Audrey found a little set of cookie mix and lemonade. She thought this was awesome! Needless to say I had to pay for the cookies twice...

Tease


I have been working and working on the bedding for the nursery. I have finally FINISHED!!! Here is a sneak peak before I show you how it looks in the bedroom.
I made a crib bumper, two pillows, a fitted crib sheet, and two blankets. Each of the blankets look different but you will have to wait until I have the room put together to see what they look like.
