My post has no particular theme...just a little bit of random.

I am axiously awaiting a phone call from my good friend who is 3 weeks or so ahead of me in her pregnancy. Her due date was yesterday! I made this for her daughter who is going to be a big sis! Love these quick little crafty projects!

Then apparently I had some energy last Sunday night because I was in the mood to make a full on dinner. I cooked some steak we had and veggies and made it a stir fry. Made rice to go with it. It was chinese style. So yummy!

Perhaps my energy came from the high I had from grocery shopping. I belong to a website called The Grocery Game. I've done it before, but was in Waco and all they had there was HEB. Which wasn't bad, but they don't double and triple coupons so you get a little less out of your savings. I jumped back on the bandwagon about 3 weeks ago and started shopping at Kroger. Well between the sales and my coupons, my bill was $98 and I only paid $38! So fun!!! You save the inserts each week. And the website tells you when to buy what and which coupons to use. She will tell you which week to go back to to cut the coupon out. So you just organize them and file for later. I got so many groceries for my money! http://www.thegrocerygame.com/ for anyone interested. If you decide to join...feel free to put my email brittanyscott26@gmail.com as a reference. You get a free 4 week trial and then depending on how many stores you sign up for the list is how much it costs. But you totally save that and more after about the first 2 weeks. So very worth it!

Lastly, I finally got to put up Baby Charlie's letters that his aunt made him. I ordered some decor crab netting and wanted to use that as a background. I love how it turned out. Here is a pic of his name and me at 37 weeks. Tomorrow we get to have a sonogram...I'm so excited. Last week the doctor said I have started dialating to a 1/2-1 cm. Not much, but it's a start!!!

This weekend was my baby shower. Since I didn't need lots of stuff, I decided to do a "book" themed shower. All the guests could bring there favorite book! Books are such a great gift for a child, but somehow as the mother one of the last things I tend to buy. This was a great way to expand our little ones collection. Savannah has enjoyed them too:)

My invitation was mimicked after the old school library checkout cards inside books. I loved it!!!


We got so many books! It was a fun shower:) We played one game where the title of popular children's books had the words changed and you had to guess what book it was. Like "A Trio of Minute Swine" was 3 Little Pigs. Then we also were given a handout with lots of pictures of popular kids book characters. We had to write down there names. That was a little harder. Both super fun games. Lastly, we filled out future birthday cards for baby Charlie. I did this at Savannah's shower, so I did it again so both kids would have them. You buy however many birthday cards based on guests or to the number you want to get to. (Guests can do 2 each if necessary) Then each guest gets one and fills out a birthday wish. Seal them up and don't get back out till that birthday. Most birthdays you can find a card with the actual age listed, but if not any birthday card will do. I have close to 21 birthday cards for each of them.

Charlie's mom (Mims) found books with the baby's name in the title!

My mom and sister did this for Savannah...they bought me lots of clothes to get me started:)

The food was of course yummy (let's not lie...always a favorite part)! The hostess put books to go with all the food. "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs" was behind the meat balls. She did ham slices and deviled eggs with the book "Green Eggs and Ham." They dyed with food coloring the filling of the eggs. SO CUTE! All of it was adorable:)






Lots of gifts were opened and I was once again super blessed:) After the shower we drove to Charlies parent's house to celebrate his dad's birthday. We grilled out and I ate more food. Shocking I know:) We finally got home around 10pm. Sunday was of course the day of rest!

I have been nesting a lot lately! Doing the nursery sort of fulfilled that craving, but I still get the urge to just clean. Yesterday I mopped, vacummed, cleaned bathrooms, and all sorts of things. I have been purging things of Savannah's for a consigment sale coming up that will hopefully bring in some extra money and pay for what I buy her there! I also made pot roast with vegetables last night. It turned out yummy! So I'm all around nesting:) Tomorrow I am 35 weeks. I officially sleep sitting up as Baby Charlie just gets to much into my lungs at night when I lay flat and makes it hard to breathe. Plus it seems to be a lot of pressure on my back also, because I was waking up with my back hurting. It is kinda awkward to sleep in this position, but I sleep better and have less issues once I wake up.

Yummy pot roast!

Look at this cute cookie monster:) I give her one small chocolate chip cookie and it ends up all over her face! Her face was worth it. To her it must have been the best cookie ever. Kids get such pleasure over the smallest things:) I love it!

Last weekend my mom and I took Savannah to a berry patch. It was really fun. We got out there pretty early before it got hot. They have blackberries and blueberries. Blackberry season is over, but we had a blast picking blueberries! They had plenty. Savannah was so good. She just picked and ate. A few made it in the bucket......lol. We picked a gallon and split it between my mom and I. They taste very good! I have plans to make some fresh blueberry banana bread:)

Well, it isn't completely finished but very close! I love bright colors....so under the sea was boyish and provided those pop of colors that I love:) I found the bedding for an amazing price and then Charlie and I painted the walls ourselves. He did the big portions of painting and I did the waves. All the fish our decals. They turned out way better than I thought. We just need some curtains, a little pillow for the rocker, a lamp, and a BABY:) Hope you like it!

This weekend was busy but not. Saturday was just a full day, but then Sunday we rested:) Friday night I just came home and my friend and I had movie night after Savannah was down. We rented Meet The Morgans, it was cute. Bought some peanut butter M&M's and Skittles…I was a happy camper:) I woke up early Saturday and went to work for a bit while my mom watched Savi. We then just hung out at my parents house for the afternoon because we had a baby shower to attend later in the day and driving back home wasn't worth the gas. I took Savi swimming and we just played. We left for one of my friends baby shower that started at 3pm. Really this is Savi's nap time, and while she had a small period where I could tell she was tired, she did so good. She kinda melted down when we got home, but it was mommy's fault for making her skip her nap. My friend and I are due about 4 weeks apart. She is having a girl. I made my first diaper cake! I thought I did a pretty decent job and it was super easy!

My good little girl at the shower:)

Sunday was definitely day of rest. Savannah took an extra long nap to catch up probably from Saturday and so did mommy! We just hung around the house for the day. I'm always finding a project or two of organizing or getting something ready for the nursery that tends to occupy my time. Savannah helps by taking things out of baskets just as mommy puts them in:) Luckily I move faster than her and can clean up faster than she can make a mess. So for the most part I let her do her thing while I do my project. And then clean up after her:) Today, the last of the biggest addition for décor to the nursery was delivered. I'm very excited to get home and play! My next post will be all things nursery I'm sure:) Happy Monday!

Charlie's parents finished there dream house on the land they bought. It is quite pretty. Not to far from us either. We spent the 4th there. We actually just spent the night so we could relax and enjoy the next day too since I had off work. The boys had some fireworks they set off and we were able to see some pretty big ones from somewhere else right from there backyard. Savannah did great and we enjoyed the time there.

She is saying cheese in the picture above:) And obsessed with paper, pens, and crayons right now:) She wouldn't let go!

This is my hodge podge post to just catch up:)

Nothing says summer better than a pool and a big flashy smile. We have been spending lots of time at grandma and grandpa's house swimming. She likes to just stay on the steps and play with cups we give her.




Here is Savannah being mommy's little helper:) Love it!



I switched back to almost my old job. Same company, but different position. Things got hectic for awhile and it was a answered prayer. I now stay home with Savi on Wednesdays (the one day Charlie works) and work a little on Saturdays to make up the hours. Sometimes we go visit grandpa's office on Wednesdays and do a little computer work:)

Aunt Missy came home during her break between summer school. She can french braid:) Mommy can't:( But I can paint toe nails!!! Love my girly girl:)

Savannah is getting very good at recognizing all her letters. We got her some flashcards that have letters and pictures and spell out a simple word too. I got this on video and can't watch it enough:)

Hello, my name is Brittany and I'm behind! OMG it isn't even funny how many blogs I have to catch up on. Me and the baby are doing fine, but we have had a little medical hiccup that has not made my life any easier lately. I've just been tired and resting alot. I am admitting my problem of being behind and vow to catch up this week! I leave you with some prego pics:) The nursery is almost finished, so pics of that soon!
