But God

We just had a but God moment. I check my registries a couple of times a week for when my expensive items go on sale. The travel system (car seat/stroller combo) went on sale this week - FINALLY! It took forever. In light of what happened last week, we have been searching for a comparable travel system for a better price. We found one, and the reviews were not good. So we passed. But last night I saw my travel system on sale, and we just got the registry completion coupon. So we had to jump on it.

We arrived at the store and went to go get the system, and the color we wanted was gone. Only the green one was left, and the sale price was not showing. So we went to customer service. The guy told us that sometimes the prices online are different. So we asked about having it shipped. And when he checked in the system he noticed it was on clearance, and they had the floor model left! So we went to check it out. It was indeed my system, and we got an extra 30% off for getting the floor model. We got the Babies R Us credit card to save 10% more, and then we used the completion coupon. Our travel system started at 239.99 dropped to $118!!!!!!  And he threw the base in there!!!! We used a gift card from Miss Kimberly S, and we ended up putting a total of $98 on the new BRU card.  We can pay that off in 15 days, no interest! CB just keeps saying "We came up!" "We done came up, y'all!"

I feel very good about the sacrifices I have made to save money for these items. They include - split ends, not that it matters because my hair is still growing and is 

longer than it's ever been. And my jacked up feet. It's really hard to give myself a pedi (which I would normally do, can't waste money) when your belly is this big! It's hard to shave and groom :), but it's done sparingly. No waxing, save save save! And no hair removing cream, it's on the list of don'ts.  That's just the tip of the ice berg, things have been cancelled. I drop my extra money in a box for items she will need. It has been a God send. But when we pay this off, all we will have left are gift cards. Thank you all!

We are buying necessities now, in case I go into labor soon. What's left are toiletries and towels. The other items can wait for a little while. She has a place to sleep and a few things to clothe her.  Prayerfully food will come from mommy! Holy macaroni, I forgot diapers. We will need a few of those too.  Well my friend Ruby got us started, so I guess we are covered.

Thank you to everyone for your generosity! CB, Cacy and I are all very appreciative!!!
