Shopping!

I think I have a little bit of a problem with shopping. Im not one of those people who sees a $30 pair of sunglasses and buys them just because. If something is a good deal though, Im probably going to end up buying it. I like finding deals, clearance items, and using coupons and Im not ashamed to admit it. I like saving money. When you save money, you have more money to spend later!

Today I went to Target and Walmart (for things other than baby stuff), and I just happened to stumble across some good deals.

The first deal I got was at Target. I have heard great things about their diapers, and have had good experiences with them before. I decided that I will use name brand diapers on Moose until he gets a little bit bigger. (Probably a size 2 or 3 in diapers). Then if I like Target brand diapers, I will switch to those.
up & up™ Baby Diapers Jumbo Pack - Newborn (36 Count).Opens in a new window
The smallest size in the big packs of diapers were a size 2 (12-18lbs). The deal that they had was if you bought two boxes of diapers for $13.99, then you would get a free $5 giftcard.
First, I was planning on buying Pampers swaddlers (in smaller sizes) to get the deal with a $5 giftcard, but their boxes had less diapers and cost $24.99 a box.

I once read that a good deal on diapers, is if they come out to $0.20 or less a diaper. I try to stick with that since im pretty new to having to buy my own diapers.
The diapers I got ended up having 96 diapers per box in it, and when you do the math, they came out to less than $0.12 a diaper, which seemed pretty darn good to me!

The next deal I got was at Walmart.


I saw this onesie pack the other day, but I wasn't going to buy it because it was over $9. Ive been told twice they think its a boy, but just when Moose starts to move for them to get a better look, he decides to curl up into a ball and not let us see anything. My maternal instincts just scream that he is a boy, and I cant help but calling him aa he. Anyways, if for some reason Moose decides to be a girl, I have a good friend who is having a boy and will benefit from any gifts.


Today when I went into walmart, this 3 pack of onesies was marked down to $5. Being that it makes each onesie less than $2, I found that a good price. Walmarts cheapest brand of single onesies is $2.77 a onesies, and most of my local consignment stores start at $2 a onesie for used clothing. So I couldn't help myself when it came to buying it. They had other sets to chose from, but Im not a big fan of sports and I probably wont be putting Moose in much sport themed clothing.

I will have to make a whole other post for some of the other deals I have gotten on baby stuff and a lot of the things I have gotten so far.

Baby Moose

So I changed the name of my blog, because I only found it fiting. Im not sure exactly why, but my mom calls my fiance moose, and since it was only fitting, when I got pregnant, we started calling the baby, Baby Moose. (And sometimes Moose Jr.)

Since this is something new, Ill post some information for now :)

My baby:Due date: November 21st 2012
Do you know the sex?: We think its a boy, but not 100% positive yet.
Any names?: He will be named after his daddy if it is a boy
Have you felt baby move?: Yes for 3 weeks.
When did you start to show?: Just started showing this week
How long could you wear your regular clothes?: I still wear regular clothes
How far along are you now?: 19 weeks.

                      Finally starting to get somewhat of a belly!
For some reason, I still havent gained any weight. Im 5'4", almost 5'5" and I weighed 134lbs before I got pregnant. I didn't have morning sickness, but I dropped weight and I am just now getting back to 133lbs.

This time, im not lying.

Ive said this many times before, but this time I seriously mean it. Im back to blogging. For good this time.

So much has happened since I blogged last, but now I have a good reason to keep blogging and I finally have the time too! So you can look forward to more posts coming from me!

(If I ever get some followers!) But for now, I blog for me!
