The weekend

I went yesterday to a Church Rummage sale in JC. I needed Sleepers for Elijah in 3-6 Months. He has tons of outfits, and jeans and onsies, but not many PJ's at all. I have typed up a list of things we have on my computer so if I see on Craigslist or Rileyyardsales that someone is selling items for reasonable prices I can look at my list and see if I really need those things. Anyway, Danielle and I went to it. I actually got allot of clothes for him, and a few other things for like $10. I was proud of myself because the one lady was selling sleepers/rompers for 50 cents a piece. I got a ton, I still don't think I have enough sleepers, but I can hopefully fix it in the next few weeks.

Nathan and I went shopping yesterday for Christmas gifts. It was nice to do that, and we did really well. I am very proud of us, and hopefully everyone loved their gifts :) I would write what we got everyone, but then since everyone knows about my blog they'd be able to sneak..... I will say everyone is getting 2 things, one very specific item from here, and then one personally picked out thing. We have a thought though since postage is such a pain in the rear, and so some people may not get their things until later. Since my Mom will be here for Christmas, I don't have to worry about mailing that stuff. She will be taking my Grandma Katie's stuff back. Since Nate's Mom and Dad will be here in January we will be sending Wes, Chris, Ben and Kelly's things back with them, and of course they get theirs while they are there. I only have to mail two boxes! I have to mail the things to my Grandma Horn's, and to Nate's Grandma. I ordered for free online the flat rate boxes, so hopefully that won't be too expensive! Oh and Nate bought me a massage pad you can put in your chair. Its nice, and I love it. When we got home he set me up with the laptop, pad and a drink. I think he feels bad about how miserable I feel sometimes. I know though, all the misery will in the end be worth it, so I try not to whine too much,. I'd just had a long day.

So after shopping we went to the PX, just to look around and see what they had. We were looking for some last second things I need for Elijah (Wal-Mart didn't carry the things I needed either). We found nothing at the PX. Then Jessica sent me a Text asking me to stop by, she had things for me. So we stopped there, and she gave me a bassinet, and some various other things (HELPFUL things). I got to see Breiah, who has grown tons.

We ate some lunch, and then wrapped presents. I was going to put them under the tree, but thought twice when I realized how much of it was food or food related. That wouldn't work with my dogs, so we nixed that idea immediately. We eventually decided to move them into the crib. We put them all in a clothes basket and put them in the crib to keep it from my dogs. Seeing as even just in Elijah's room the dogs can get to them. This house has been so annoying with temperature control, for some reason only the living room gets warm, and it reaches like 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house, so we have to leave all doors open. Problem with that is I have nosy dogs who have issues, so we have to keep a baby gate up, with them on the side we are on to supervise!

Today we really didn't do much, I made crock pot chili, and we spent the day at home. Well I take that back, I went to Ogden because I got an email from someone who wanted to give me some baby clothes. I went over, it was about 5 onsies in bigger sizes. There was a snow suit type thing too that is green and like a sleeper sack almost, with seat belt holes. Its light green, and very cute!! Elijah wont freeze with Mommy and Daddy watching. He has the car seat cover too, and a few snow suits plus this thing, and blankets. It's funny because when I first learned that we were due in the winter I kept imagining a sick baby all the time, but we have so many warm things for him, I feel more confident. I washed bottles today too, and straitened up the cupboard that those type things go in.

Other than that, we are expecting a huge snow storm. Lucky us! The road conditions are already "Red". I don't know what it means really, but I know "Black" means if you aren't essential personal (MP's, and important workers) then you are supposed to stay off the road. I have to go to IACH for my NST regardless though. Nate has already gotten a phone call canceling PT. I am not a fan of Snow but Bridget loves it. Charlie wont go outside unless he is in his sweater, and only goes out long enough to pee and then gets right back inside. He dosen't even try to do anything else. Ruby likes it at first, but then he hips start hurting really bad and she gets miserable. We think she is older than 5, I personally feel like she is 7 or 8 because she has allot of hip/joint issues. We may never know though, she could be younger and just aged faster from her abusive home prior to us. I guess you just never know.

I guess other than that, there isn't too much going on. I lost my phone for a few hours. Later I found it under the bed. I think Charlie took it there.
