A friend offered to send me her daughter’s baby clothes through the mail. She asked for my address but I have not given it to her yet because I don’t know if I should offer for the shipping or just accept every thing gratis. I do have to ask the husband and see what he will say about it. I would love to have used baby clothes so we do not have to buy any more clothes for a while. Babies grow real fast anyway. I actually have three friends who offered clothes to me and are just awaiting my signal for them to send the clothes. I am one lucky mom

I am on the family way. This baby is our second and I am due to give birth early next year. As early as now, I already have a list of items we need for the coming baby. Unlike when I was pregnant with my first born where I did not get anything until almost at the last minute, I am going to buy things we need early so we will not be rushing all the time and we do not have to be stressed thinking what to get next. Since we do not know the baby’s gender yet, I figure we will start with the basics such as baby toiletries, diapers, and a must have, diaper rash cream. What I learned from my first pregnancy is that baby skin is very sensitive. It could look all smooth and clear one minute but the next time you check there are rashes every where. I do not want the baby to have to go through something painful like that. We avoided that with our first born and so we will for the new baby when it gets here. My sister-in-law introduced Boudreaux’s Butt Paste to us to use for the new baby. She said it works well and so we are going to try it. We always trust her judgment because of her experience with kids and she has never failed us yet. Also, I have read reviews about Boudreaux butt paste before deciding to use it for the new baby. And what I have read from other parents’ experience makes me more adamant to use the cream for my baby should the need arise. And it helps that it is pediatrician recommended. Surely, a person who works with babies and kids knows what is best for them. I have also read that I can get free samples of Boudreaux’s butt paste just by visiting their website. I should do that and request one for me. It is free, you see, so why not get it if the only thing I need to do is click in a few keys? You should too if you need it. You do not know, this might be the diaper rash cream you are looking for that works well with your baby’s skin.

The day after tomorrow I am scheduled to have an ultrasound to supposedly check if the baby is developing normally. I don’t remember undergoing this on my previous pregnancy but then a lot that happened that year were a blur to me. Possibly because I did not want to remember the bad experience I had when I gave birth to the little man. I only want to remember the good times. Or maybe I was just being addle brained. Anyway, so I will go tomorrow. I hope the baby is healthy and developing normally. I am hoping there will be no complications in this pregnancy. If the baby will cooperate tomorrow, we should be able to know its gender. I had my monthly check up last week and was told that if the tests are all negative then I will not get a call. Hopefully I will not get a call. I don’t think I need any worries while pregnant. I am trying my best to stay healthy so I hope this will help.

The last few weeks my main concern is food. I have been cooking a lot and eating a lot as well. Even my Facebook shout-outs are all about the food I want to eat and being hungry. I am consumed with it, it seems like. And the result of the eating binges are actually starting to show. I am getting big which should not happen for health reasons. I guess I have to start eating less for my own good. The husband was lying in the couch when I tried to squeeze in and could not. He said we need a bigger couch, lol. What we need to do is to lose weight. Wonder how to do that?

what to do with the eggplants I harvested from my little garden. I planted a few thinking I will have enough to cook and keep but there is more produce than I thought and now I do not know what to do with them. I harvested probably about 10 lbs of eggplant last week which I still have some leftovers lying in the kitchen floor. And when I checked on the garden it need to be harvested again or the fruits will be mature. A few friends showed interest but they live hours away and we do not have any plans on going anywhere in the next few days. They could come and pick up whatever they want but nobody has said a word. If only I could mail the produce to my friends it will be dandy.

Whenever we go on trips, we always stay on chain hotels because we feel secure that we know the name of the place we are staying in. It is true we pay more for the service sometimes but if it is something we have to do to sleep better at night then it is worth it. Our favorite is the Hampton. The husband always find an exit where there is a Hampton hotel regardless of distance. He loves their service and the fact that they serve breakfast because he hates to wake up early and rush to get us something to eat especially since I am always hungry. If we stay at the Hampton we only have to get up and grab our breakfast and then go back to our room to relax some more. We prefer it that way. Their high speed internet is a big bonus as well. We are planning to go to another city when we have enough saved up because he said he wants to show me the place. So I look up if there is Hampton hotel in the area and sure enough there is. And I also found out that they are running a contest called Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. The grand prize winner receives a free stay for himself and 100 of his friends at a Hampton for one weekend and $5,000 to help pay the tax for the weekend. The contest is open for everyone so a lot of people have a chance of winning in this contest. I might as well join. Should I win I will invite the husband’s relatives and a few of my friends and we will enjoy ourselves silly. I wonder if I can choose the location of the hotel I want to stay in? It will be fun if I can stay for free, plus relatives, at that city where we want to go. We could explore the place together. The more there are of us, the merrier the trip will be. Well, I better get off here so I can put in my entry. Who knows I might win. It will be a grand day. Aren’t you going to join too?
