Dear Savers...I love you!

So last night for FHE our little family headed over to Savers after going to my 16 week check up (info on that to follow). I made a steal on maternity cloths!! I have looked at the DI (and I also love you DI, just not for maternity cloths) and there was nothing!! Well nothing from the last two decades at least. Then I went to Savers and it was a jack pot! I got 8 shirts, 4 pairs of pants and one skirt! Guess how much all of that would have cost me new had I purchased them from the stores they originally came from? Well I don't really know for sure, but I am guessing I would have spent some where between $300 - $400. But I got it all for around $60. And they are really cute things too! I am comfortable again and can breath when I sit down :) It feel so good to be cheap frugal! Okay, I just had to tell someone about that.

My 16 week check up went good. It went fast. We heard the heart beat (a musical sound :) they measured me, weighed me, asked me few questions and that was that. I wondered if the visit was even really necessary. But there ya have it.

So at 16 weeks I am feeling much better for the most part. I still feel really sick if I don't eat every 1-2 hours but now eating actually helps me feel "normal" again instead of just helping me not to throw up. The past week or 2 I have been feeling sick at night right before I go to bed even though I just ate...but then I just go to bed and I am okay. My back is starting to hurt more and I get some weird pains from time to time. And why, may I ask, do my hips feel so raw and sore at night? I usually always sleep on my side...why do they hurt more than usual now? Anyone know? Well, I am happy to be pregnant, even with all it's discomforts.

I have given some thought to waiting until the baby is born to find out the gender. I honestly feel very neutral on the gender so it would be kind of fun. I would love a boy so that I could have two little boys close in age to be buddies (I actually am pretty sure it is a boy...I just have a feeling. I could be totally wrong). But a girl would be great too. Hair bows, dresses, etc...I would love it. BUT in the end I think we will find out at the 20 week ultra sound because I think we will need the 20+ weeks for Nate and I to agree on a name! We have such a hard time agreeing on names. I think Spencer is the only name, boy or girl, that both of use really loved and agreed on. I don't know how we will pick a name for baby # 2.

Well, this post turned out to be longer than I thought it would be. Thanks for letting me ramble on and thank you all for your kind comments and congratulations. Getting a comment is very happy-making for me!

Have a great Spring Day. Don't you just love April?! I sure do!!
