31 Weeks...Goodwill...Craig's List

We just passed the 31-week mark. Only nine more to go. Our little squirt is due TWO months from TODAY, and that is pretty hard to believe. Phil and I grow (both literally and figuratively) more and more excited with every passing day. We've been enjoying our sparkling pool (which Phil works VERY hard to maintain) a lot lately because the Florida heat has taken over! This dresser was one of our exciting finds in the search for good deals for the nursery. We wanted to have a changing table that would be functional after the changing table days were over. After searching high and low through countless antique stores, we found this diamond in the rough at our local Goodwill. Phil could tell that it was a really good piece of furniture, and the price was too good to pass up. As soon as we brought it home, he did some research on the furniture company, and we discovered that it was from Grand Rapids, Michigan. What are the chances? Our "new" glider was a jackpot from Craig's List. Until this purchase, we had never used Craig's List before. We ended up finding exactly what we were looking for at a MUCH BETTER price than what we would have paid at Babies 'R' Us. I think we might be hooked.
All is well, and we love hearing from you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!! :)

Gotta love Craig's list! I'm semi-addicted. :) The nursery looks great! Thanks for the phone call... we were in Ohio all weekend, but I will try giving you a call this afternoon. Love you!

Yay for Craigs List!!! : ) I should send you a picture of that pub table I ended up getting there. I almost bought a brand new gazebo today for $50 (off of CL) that goes for about $250. They're moving and never even took it out of the box! I know I'll have my own house someday...but I decided that I probably should pay off $50 of my student loans instead. : )

I can't believe that little Thumper has gotten so big just in the last month since I've seen you! You are the most gorgeous pregnant woman!! You were always so happy and joyful before, but becoming a mom has really enhanced your already sparkling personality!!

You are seriously one of thee cutest pregnant people I know! I continutally get compliments on your pics. Everyone loves them and comments on how the girl in the pictures looks soooo good and they never looked that good not even when they were 10 weeks. So take that as a compliement, I know how the last few weeks can seem like forever and your body only gets bigger and bigger... so just know that you are super cute pregnant!!!!
