10/10 Work week ensamble

Alright folks, as promised I have pics from my weekly work wardrobe.  So far so good with the non-maternity challenge.  Enjoy!

Sunday church outfit

Here is what I am currently wearing: a grey tunic that I paired with black tights. I bought this shirt from the thrift store yesterday for 9.00.   It was the most expensive item I purchased, but it's totally worth it.  The fabric is incredibly soft and super stretchy.  Enjoy!!!

I hate maternity clothes...utterly!!!

Ok, so here is the deal.  I absolutely hate maternity clothes. I have absolutely been to Destination Motherhood, Motherhood, and Pea-n-a-Pod.  Some of the clothes are terrific, that is, if I want to pay top dollar. I can also wear clothes that are NOT my style, just to put on that stretchy fabric.  No thank you!!! I have decided after much research that I will NOT be wearing maternity clothes (unless I absolutely have to as in the last month of pregnancy).

So, in an attempt to show the world that pregnancy doesn't equal matronly, I will be snapping pics of each of the ensembles I put together and modeling them for you.  Leave me some feedback, let me know what you think.  As of right now, I am 17 weeks and 0 days.  I will be starting today.

Be back soon with vlog and my first set of pic (neither pants nor shirt will be maternity).....
 FYI-Hubby and I agreed that you won't be seeing my face in any of the videos and photos.  Can't be too careful!  Thanks for understanding

Some ideas for safe keeping....

The crib I am thinking about.........

These cribs are actually apart of a set at JCPenney. They both are on sale for $899 for the crib, dresser, and changing table. I might just get one of them. We'll see.

I'm back!!!

Well, it has been quite a few months since I've posted here.  In all that time, what have I been doing, you ask?  Well..........

1. I've moved across country from NJ to CA
2.  I've started a new job
3. I've been BAKING a baby!!! 

I think I'm most excited about #3.  Right now I am exactly 16 weeks, and I couldn't be more thrilled.  We have slowly been buying baby clothes.  We really wanted to wait until I was in the 2nd trimester.  So what we have been doing is waiting for Kohl's to send us those $10 gift cards.  Then we go to the baby clearance section and look for items.  I think I posted in a previous post that we purchased 6 onesies for 2.00 with the first gift card.  You know what, I think I'll start a running tally for all of us to follow.

Kohls $10 gift card 1
1. 3-pk onesies 0-3 months = 6.00
2. 3-pk onesies 3-6 months = 6.00
total 12.00 and change, used git card and paid about 2 and change.

Kohl's $10 gift card 2
1. 6 pack socks = 10.59
*my husband purchased this.  I was not in the store otherwise we might have purchased more than socks :)
total 11 and change, used gift card and paid 1 and change

Kohl's $10 gift card 3
1. 3-pk onesies 0-3 months = 7.20
2. blue shorts 0-3 months = 2.10
3. 1 cotton sleeper jumper = 6.30
total 16. 62, used gift card and paid 6.62

We'll see what we can buy next time. Thanks Kohl's!!!

When I went to check out I saw that if you gave Kohl's your email then you'll get $5 off your next purchase.  So, of course I did.  I'll keep you all posted with any other deals.
