She’s a delightful little girl.  Seriously the most smiley little baby I’ve ever met.  I know they’re gas/sleepy smiles, but I like to pretend that she’s smiling for me…just like I did with Amelia.

Miss Juliet is an incredible eater.  She left the hospital at 6lbs 4 oz and she passed her birth weight at only 4 days old weighing in at 6lbs 12oz.  We weighed her at a week and she was already 7lbs 5oz.  We might just have a little chunk on our hands after all!

She’s gotten so big and so strong already, but she’s still just as sweet and snuggly as the day I had her.  Here’s my little smiley girl.

Enjoy!

First transaction:

(1) Children’s Claritin – $9.99 (-$3.00 coupon)

(1) oak farms milk – $2.99

(1) huggies supreme diapers – $8.49 (-$3.00 coupon)

-$3 extra bucks I had from a previous purchase and -$4 off a purchase of $20 or more (didn’t know you can combine those discounts, but I learned tonight that you can)

Total after discounts – $8.72

Second transaction:

I earned $6 extra bucks from the first transaction ($3 for the Claritin, $1 for the milk and $2 for the diapers)

(2) Children’s Benadryl – $4.99 each (-$2 coupon each, -$5 coupon for buying 2 Benadryl products)

(1) Disney sunglasses (Amelia had to have them since Lila ate her cute Gap ones) – $6.99

Total after discounts – $1.97

I guess i would have gotten money back if we didn’t buy the sunglasses….not sure how that works.  So, in total I got $47.89 worth of stuff for $10.69 (78% savings).  That rocks and I’ll accept my dork status for the sake of saving that money.

I washed my hair and decided to deep condition it so I put the conditioner on and let it sit for 5 minutes.  My shower is now about 15-20 minutes long at this point so I decide that I should probably rinse the conditioner and finish up.  I rinsed it and went to grab my hair towel only to realize it wasn’t there.  DARN!  It’s ok I’ll just wash my body and get out and grab a new one.

I pick up the bottle of liquid body soap put a bunch in my hands so I get a good lather.  Instead of washing my body where do I put my hands?  Right smack dab on top of my fresh deeply conditioned head.  DARN IT!!!!  Now I have to rinse a ton of body soap from my hair (which takes forever BTW) and start all over with washing and conditioning my hair.

I finally got all of the body soap out and decide to use Dustin’s shampoo just to make sure all of the icky body soap is out. I reach down to his pump bottles and I pumped out a bunch of what I thought was shampoo and put it on my hair…nope, not shampoo it’s his conditioner.  So now I’ve shampooed, conditioned, body soaped and conditioned my hair.  I am on the verge of screaming at this point…so much for that nice long relaxing shower.  I get the conditioner out of my hair once again and wash it and conditioned it properly and promptly turn the water off so I don’t continue the vicious cycle.

Moral of the story…don’t try to take a long relaxing shower when you’re a pregnant mother, it’s just not worth it.

Birdies for Charity is structured so that you donate a certain amount of money per birdie made during the course of the 5 days of the Shell Houston Open.  Last year over 1700 birdies were made during the tournament.  So, if you pledge to donate $.01 per birdie that would equal a $17.00 donation.  If you pledge $.05 per birdie then that equals to an $85 donation.  You can pledge whatever amount you want per birdie or make a flat donation.

One awesome part of Birdies for Charity is that for a $.01/birdie pledge you get one guess at the total number of birdies to be made during the tournament.  The number of guesses you get goes up depending upon what you pledge.  The person who guesses the exact number of birdies will win a CAR!  There area also other incentives such as free passes, exclusive tent access, etc. for different pledge levels.

Only pledges are made at this time.  After the Shell Houston Open is completed they’ll send a statement to you and payment can be made at that time…and yes, it’s tax deductible!

If you would like me to mail a brochure to you please let me know and I’ll get it off to you this week!  Thanks!

YAY, YAY, YAY!!!

Oh yea…and we’re not finding out what we’re having…the suspense might kill us, but we’ll wait!  Edit…I’m due July 15, we adjusted it a few days, but realistically I could have the baby -2 weeks or +1 week.  We’ll see!
