26 weeks and baby prep!

Today I'm 26 weeks along. It's crazy to me because that means that I have 98 days left until my due date! We've hit double digits:) I get more and more excited to meet my little girl as each day passes. She is so active and I love the feeling of her kicks and rolls (at least I think they're rolls). This past weekend we went to my brother's engagement party and everyone was so excited for us. My mom and sister had their hands on my belly just waiting to feel a kick. Of course I have a trouble maker and she stopped kicking when they did that but later in the evening my mom felt a few:) I feel like I'm getting huge but people keep assuring me that I look fine.

Yesterday we bought our nursery furniture. The crib was 50% off when you bought 2 or more matching pieces of furniture. We got the dresser which we were already planning to do and then got the toddler guard rail. We weren't planning to get it but it was a better deal with it. We also got 20% off both our glider and ottoman. And then we got 10% off all of it for opening a BRU credit card! Saved us a good $300 bucks:) I'm so excited to get everything too. Our crib/dresser should be available in the next 2 weeks but our glider will take 10-12 weeks because it was special order. I hope it doesn't actually take that long but even if it does it should be *just* in time! Here are pics of each item. The glider/ottoman will be in a chocolate color.


Last week I also caved and got another PPB bag! I got the wistful weekender for 41% off:) I can't wait to get it and plan to use it for our hospital bag. J was sweet about it and didn't give me too much of a hard time for getting it either.


Today I scored another great deal. Our pack n play went on sale for $50 off so I decided to get it and then if we get it for our shower we can return it and use the $ for other stuff. There were also 2 other deals that went in conjunction with the purchase. For making a purchase over $100 I got a $10 BRU gift card and a free umbrella stroller. So we got the$159 pnp for $99:) Sweeeeet! I had to order the pnp because they were out of stock but they said it should be on the thursday shipment so I don't really have to wait much for it (not that I need it for a while). I'm excited to see it all set up though!


Another exciting thing is that my shower has been scheduled and invitations have been sent out! It's about a month away and I can't wait. I just can't wait to celebrate with everyone and see everyones faces when they see how big I am! I won't have seen a lot of the people at all during my pregnancy (or not since I started showing) so I know they're going to be like WHOA! I can't wait to see my little girl showered with love too. I know everyone is so excited to meet her so it's going to be fun to celebrate with people in anticipation of her arrival.
