Our internet was out for a while there. It was good in a way, because I got to do a lot of crafting and cooking. It was bad because J has homework he needs the internet to do, and because I like to research a lot before I buy things.
A lot has happened since I last wrote. We qualified for Medicaid and SNAP. SNAP has already helped us out a lot. I have been eating much healthier foods, and I don't feel awful getting groceries anymore. I just realized how close I am to being able to eat sushi again! Or am I supposed to wait until I'm done breast feeding...? I hope not. I made guacamole (from scratch of course) for the first time the other night. I think it was a pretty good start. Avocados were on sale last week and I bought a lot of them. I refuse to let them go to waste! I've been eating at least one a day.
On baby news, we bought a car seat using the money J's parents gave us. The baby could come any day now, but I'm really hoping it will be on or after the due date. I have a lot of cleaning to do. I would be devastated if it happened before Sunday though, because my store is doing a ridiculous sale and I could really get some good stuff for cheap! I go crazy over sales. Sunday will be my last day working, too, so it would be nice to get those last few hours in. By the way, if you ever need anything practical like lint rollers, flash lights, batteries, etc., I think it's wise to get yourself a 40-50% off coupon and head on over to your craft store, because chances are it's not on sale, so you can get it for such a good price! Craft stores must be practically stealing from people if they can have weekly coupons like that. I never buy anything full price from a craft store. And I feel terrible ringing up people who do buy things full price. I just want to tell them to come back tomorrow with a coupon!
Anyway, I had what will hopefully be my last appointment before the baby. My last day of work will be Sunday. I have done a little bit of cleaning but there is still so much preparation to do. I don't feel ready at all. I have a feeling she's going to be late though. Perhaps by a week? That would be alright. It gives me time to look up what to expect when giving birth. I didn't make it to any of the classes, unfortunately, so I'm feeling totally unprepared right now. Time to do some research!
Happy Halloween~
