Need a middle name ....

OK so we've figured out her name but not her middle name, so any suggestions? Once we decide on her middle name then we will tell everyone!! (lol aren't we mean lol :)

I like to blog a lot more.. well, cause I really have nothing to do. I try to knit, but the yarn that I'm using is making me really mad cause it knots up when I want to use more yarn, I even started from the right end too. I'm starting to sow more I am forsure a beginner! One of the things that I tried to make was a boppy pillow with out a pattern, it looks like a snake!!! So I went on craigs list and found one for $7!! I will hopefully pick it up over the weekend if someone hasn't gotten it already but I hope I get it!

Savings !!!

I'll admit off the bat that I'm a dork, but an excited one!! OK.. so I look forward to the grocery ads that come in the mail so I can price match( right now being a soon to be a mom with a budget.) So I made my list a head of time and then brought the ads with me to the Super Wall-Mart, they price matched the items that I got that were in the competitors ads. Along with a dollar off coupon for one of my items and including two miscellaneous items that were not apart of the grocery budget, I made it under our weekly grocery budget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( I saved $5.19!!!)(I also stuck with my list and didn't get anything more) It just takes a little patients and a little time looking thought the ads. I have also learned to go not too early but not too late in the afternoon. If I go between 10:00am-3:30pm it's not as busy and the cashiers are more patient with you as you price match, I usually leave the price matches for the end.

News....

Nothing new and exciting has happened. Keeping myself busy, I helped my sister make cake pops for a take home gift for my baby shower! Mmmm they taste really good!! Yesterday we went over to Bryce and Clarissa's house, we ate chicken tacos and played the Wii. I'm never good with playing games like that, I like contact sports. They live like 15 minutes away from us which is way cool! I am knitting and I may make her a baby's blessing blanket or an over sized throw pillow, I haven't decided. Oh I received something in the mail about becoming a Medical Transcriptions and to be able to work from home!!! So I called the company and they are going to send me all of the information about it!!!!!!!!!

So we've ruled our Riley and Morgan, well, we are both stubborn and like those names and we can't decide. So there is a good possibility that we'll go with Berkley Lynn Butler, we talked about this last night and of course it may change. I just want to stick with a name and say this is what we are naming her. Neal found it in the baby name book, she would be named after a prestigiousa school and a fishing company. I just hope she is a little smart so she won't get teased for being named after a prestigious school. And if none of you know Neal very well he loves fishing, so any name that had a tie to fishing made him happy!

And I am very excited for my baby shower this saturday, I can't wait to see all of my good friends and family
!!!!!!!!!

9 More Weeks !







Holy crap! I had my doctors appointment to day and I am measuring at 31.5 weeks, wow! It's kind of crazy to think that we'll have a little one in the next 2 months! So far I have only gained 16.5 lbs, my goal is not to exceed 25 lbs. All I want to do is stay inside because it's so hot but at the same time I want to get out of the house for sanity purposes. Things are going pretty good over here, I'm still looking for a desk job. I have 3 prospects that I need to follow up with by the middle of next week, I hope it goes well. Melissa, Garren and Joshua are in town till July 15Th! The other day she brought by my baby shower gift, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! She made a baby's blessing dress for church, oh so beautiful! Oh the other day Watched Cody, he is the cutest thing!!

A Little Down

I was hired by Inteli-Care but so far had no luck. I have applied for many caregiver positions and have not herd anything. It just kind of stinks because I really do want to work and I feel that some places over look my application because I am pregnant. Neal said the we have budgeted for me to not work starting July 1st, but I'm a person that needs to stay busy!!!!! There are call centers that I can apply for, but I don't know if I should or not. I just feel guilty for not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What makes it even more nerve racking for me is.... we are still waiting on the approval of our student loans and how much we can receive.
