I'm a Su-vi-vah!!

No, no, no, I'm not gonna give up!! :)
Well, the big consignment sale has made it's way to town this week and I signed up to work a shift in the store and do a little marketing. In return I get to shop early...early, early too!! Last year I consigned some items so I could shop early, and it just wasn't early enough...I wanted to be first! ha.
Angela did some marketing for the company as well so she and I met yesterday at 1:45p.m. and waited our turn to shop...3p.m. And boy did I shop! I had already made up my mind I wasn't leaving until I looked at everything. I was able to find some GREAT deals on toys and clothes for Raegen. For the money I spent and the number of clothing items I got, I spent an average of $6 an item/outfit!!! You can't do that at W-M!! :) Now he's set for the winter.
I'm extremely happy about the playhouse I grabbed for a bargain. I didn't know it at the time, but after coming home and doing a little research, I've found that it's a Little Tykes "ImagineSounds" Playhouse. Click on the link to see a picture. Raegen has the older version so the colors are different, plus his is used, but I don't care!! :) I'm sure I'll post some pics of him playing with it in the coming days because when Billy unloaded it last night he literally RAN to it!
I finally made it out of the store and headed home at 6:30! I was able to find bargains for Stacy, Amber, and some friends at church too.
Here's a funny story... As Angela and I were waiting, I saw Kibbie drive through the parking lot. She was talking on her phone and looking at the line of people as she turned to go up an aisle. I waved at her and she spotted us. She had been on the phone with Jeff when she saw the line and asked, "Is there a movie theater around here?" haha...this is better than any movie! The line for the "early workers" wasn't too long and I didn't see the line for the "workers" (allowed in at 5p.m.). However, the "consignors" line (enter at 6p.m.) was super long. I know Amber said she got there 40 minutes early and she was closer to the front. I didn't stick around for the "moms to be" or "guest" pre-sale!! I went home and showed off my shopping skills to my husband. :)

Sugar and Spice or Snakes and Snails?

Poll has closed. It's a BOY!!!

Take the poll located on the right side of the screen. Will we be having another baby boy or a baby girl? What do you think?

If it's any help, I haven't had any dreams {like I did with Raegen, dreaming I was having a boy} and I just don't have that "feeling" with this baby. I did have severe morning sickness that lasted through week 15, quite unlike my mild morning sickness that ended at week 12 with Raegen. That info may help or confuse you more! I'm anxious to see what everyone else thinks we're having.


Is baby #3 a boy or a girl?
