My First Blog

We are getting ready for baby! Tonight we bought a glider rocking chair from a local OB-cean for $200. It has not been used and was originally sold for over $400. What a deal! I've learned you have to be aggressive on craigslist to snag a chair before someone else gets it. So I've been checking craigslist about twice a day for the last week and I finally was the first caller on this one. So now it's ours. (Thanks Mom for the $$$) All we really need now, besides baby Amelia, is a carseat. I so excited! I even get excited over the little itsy, bitsy diapers. I love the way they smell. And I really love the free samples I keep receiving from Pampers and Huggies. Bring on some more! Jared's mom is throwing us a baby shower this Saturday.... three weeks from the due date! I was convinced from a friend (Shawna Mama) it would be better this way cause I will have to store everything and so it might as well be closer to the due date. I can't believe that I am having a baby shower, that this is my life, and I am SO HAPPY. I couldn't imagine it better than this. Jared has been a champ of a husband. He gives me back rubs and foot massages. He takes such good care of me. And he doesn't let me buy too much stuff. I would really have gone overboard on baby clothes. So far, what I've bought has been on sale. I've been pretty good. It's been a huge blessing to have friends that give me their pass me downs. Shawna Mama has given me so much, my boss Carola has given me so much. I really appreciate it. I have other friends that say they are going to give me their stuff and am looking forward to it cause I love their taste.
