Yesterday I was treated to the most wonderful thing- a pregnancy massage! It was amazing! My mom and my sister went to the neatest spa- check it out at www.stonecreekdayspa.com - and they decided that I needed a massage too!
I could easily become addicted to massages! Not very frugal, but a much needed break from work/pregnancy.

Unique
As I mentioned yesterday, the baby shower over the weekend was amazing. We were given alot of unique gifts, and I thought I'd share some of them.
Inside there's Vaseline, baby sunscreen, little noses spray, gas drops, destin, a thermometer and plastic covers, nail trimmers, medicine droppers, orajel, hand sanitizer, Q-tips and Vick's. Also, there were boogie wipes and rubbing alcohol, but I forgot to add them to the picture!
My mom made a stocking for Bryson that matches ours. Mom gave us our stockings as wedding gift, and now, three years later, we have a third stocking to hang by the fireplace! I love that my mom is so crafty and we have such unique stockings. She makes such neat stuff!
My Aunt and Uncle gave us this blanket- it's from Lands End. It's so soft and light. My picture doesn't do it justice. It's a pale blue with a tractor, truck and other boy-ish vehicles incorporated into the design.
This blanket and burp cloths are just too cute with his name on them...
One of my mom's good friends, Mrs. Paula put this first aid kit together for us- and it rocks! I'm totally going to copy this idea for future baby shower gifts. It's a Pottery Barn Kids lunch box, crammed full of everything you could imagine needing.........

What a weekend!
We had a baby shower this weekend, so all of Brandon's family came up from Texas, as well as my sister and some family from Missouri. The shower was more than I could imagine! I had a great time and Bryson will definately have everything he needs plus some!
Here's a few photos from the shower- most of the photos are on my mom's computer. I'll share some of the unique gifts later on :)

Blog Hop: Favorite Photo
Enjoy the Blog Hop and feel free to join in and share your favorite photo!Kelloggs cereal deal
For the past two years, Brandon and have stocked up on cereal during the Kellogg's Fuel for School rebate program- and it's back again this year!
You can download the rebate form online from: http://www2.kelloggs.com/FamilyFocus/contentcta.aspx?id=1320
Usually, there is a Kellogg's coupon flyer in the Sunday paper with the rebate form attached. So, keep your eyes open!
Last year we purchased over 30 boxes of Kellogg's products for pennies on the dollar. The cereal stockpile lasted us from July to December! Just remember that you can only do one rebate per name/address, and you must purchase 10 items in the same transaction to receive the $10 rebate.

Puppy-wearing at 31 weeks!
My friend Kacey and I have been chatting about slings and baby-wearing.
I was given this hand-me-down sling (http://www.hotslings.com/baby_slings/everyday_collection) by another friend, and I really wanted to try it out. Thus, Leia became our test subject:
Surprisingly enough, she didn't hate it....too much!
Leia weighs about 8 lbs, and it was really easy to get her in and out of the sling, and it was really comfortable while she was in there. Brandon insisted on a photo, because it was just too cute!
Here's my 31 week belly shot- I'm feeling rather 'out-there'.....
It's becoming more difficult to find a comfortable position when sitting/laying down, and I can tell that my energy level is dropping. Overall though, I feel really good.

If so, which one?
I also have the Eddie Bauer one from Target- so I'm starting off with 2 options.......

Homemade
We have been so blessed with gifts for our little guy. I wanted to share with you some of the handmade and unique things we've received thus far:
This cute little duck is from one of my HCW couponing friends. She made him herself- and he's really soft to the touch. Naturally, Leia is scared of it.
Dana, one of the ELL translators at the elementary school painted this for us. I just love it. It matches the jungle 'theme' we chose for his room. And, I hadn't decided if I was going to share the name we chose for our little man here on the blog, but here it is! We are going to name him Bryson.
My friend Karen made us these two burp rags and this really cute diaper bag. I need to take a better picture of it- I love the attention to detail that she had- even down to the lining inside the bag!
My mom made us a TON of these burp rags- the picture doesn't do them justice. They are adorable!
And, this last item wasn't a gift, but I wanted to share it anyways :) We got this glider rocking chair from one of Brandon's co-workers for $40. It was a great glider, but it didn't match our room. So, my mom had it re-covered for us. It looks amazing in Bryson's room and when he's done with it, it'll match most of the other furniture in our home. It's really comfortable too!
