Andy and I spent the first half of my 25th week attempting to get back on a reasonable grocery budget by using coupons! Over the last two weeks of getting moved in and trying to start ready for the baby I made the following observations:
1. We spend WAY to much money on groceries
2. We don't eat leftovers and end up throwing practically whole meals away sometimes
3. We need to start stocking up on diapers!
I decided that we were going to cut our grocery budget down to under $100 by shopping the sales, going to multiple stores to try and find the best deals, eating all our leftovers, and limit our eating out to one night a week (Friday or Saturday). I was then going to use the money we were saving to start buying diapers and wipes. I spent the whole week looking at the Ads of different stores, printing out coupons, and making a menu for the week. We went shopping Friday and I did pretty well. We didn't get under $100, but we were close! I can't wait to try again this week :)
Saturday we drove up to Virginia to visit Andy's family and to see our sweet niece Caroline get baptized on Sunday. It was such a fun trip, I love his family and enjoying spending time with them. While we were visiting Andy and I were spoiled with baby goodies! Annalise was given some of the cutest clothes, a box of formula, a carrier, and a bouncy seat from her Aunt Abby, Uncle Ben, and her cousins. Her great grandma also crocheted her a beautiful blanket, and Andy's cousin Jessica knitted her a hat and booties! I love how loved our baby girl is already! I can't wait until she's here to meet everyone!
Here are some 25 week bump pictures these were taken in the hotel room before going to Caroline's baptism on Sunday.
