Happy Friday!

I realized that I post quite a bit about my pregnancy woes... and I hope I don't come across as a complainer or ungrateful... I've been trying to keep this blog updated daily, and sometimes there's not too much else exciting going on! I am so thankful that God has blessed us with this baby, and while it's been a much tougher pregnancy than I expected, I know it will all be worth it when we finally get to see our son face-to-face! I know women who have just loved being pregnant, and others whose struggles were so tough I'm almost embarrassed to mention mine. It's a crazy journey but it's a pretty miraculous process, no matter how challenging it may be. I've definitely already gained a greater appreciation for my grandmother, who had 3 babies in just 28 months & my mom who had my sister and I only 19 months apart. Crazy ladies! :)

Anyway... all is well. Tylenol helps my pain significantly and it's really worst at work. My boss is on the hunt for a better chair for me, so maybe that will help. I had my breastfeeding class last night at the hospital. It was very informative and overwhelming :) but I'm glad I did it. I even managed to score a great deal while I was there. I had been planning to purchase a SlingEZee brand sling online after Suzanne highly recommended it. Well they are $60-75, but apparently well worth it. As I was browsing the hospital's selection of nursing gear, I found that they carried the same slings in every pattern I loved and they were only $45 with a 15% Mother's Day discount! So I got one for $38! Nothing like a good deal to make my night!

  1. Melissa,
    I remember listening to Aunt Bea, Aunt Dot & your Nana talking about when me and your mom and Uncle Mike were babies, they had "no pampers", (not invented yet); glass bottles; no clothes dryers; no changing tables (not invented yet) and hardly ever did they have air conditioning (they used fans) and car seats were unheard of.....WOW...we've come a long way in 50 some years...wonder what the next 50 will bring... I love your changing table and I really like the bargains you are finding. You go, girl!!!!
