24 weeks

Well, one day early... I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow.

I had my 22 week appointment and ultrasound about a week and a half ago. Baby #2 was one pound, 2 ounces - 46th percentile for size. Right on track! At the time of the appointment, I was 22 weeks, 4 days and the little one was measuring 22 weeks, 3 days. Perfection! Next appointment is Rhogam shot and glucose test at 27 weeks - oh boy!

Consignment Shopping

Two of my co-workers, Angela and Laura, have opened my eyes to the consignment world. It has totally revolutionized my way of shopping for baby clothes!! If you have kids and you are not consignment shopping, you DEFINITELY should check it out!!

I've been to two consignment sales to stock up for fall/winter clothes for Luke. Just to give you an idea of the savings, at the last sale I spent $42. Normally, I'd drop $42 at the Carter's store and come away with maybe a couple pairs of jammies. Or maybe two onesies and a pair of pants (if items were on sale!).

What can you get for $42 at a consignment sale? Let me tell you: 1 pair of overalls, 3 long-sleeved jammies, 5 pairs of pants, 1 short-sleeved collared shirt, 4 long-sleeved shirts, 1 heavy jacket, 1 hoodie, 1 sweater, 1 zip-up sweater, 1 long-sleeved button-up shirt, 4 long-sleeved collared shirts, and 2 books. Seriously! All that stuff for $42!!

I should also mention that it is good quality, name-brand items: Carters, BabyGap, Old Navy, etc.

I'm in love with consignment shopping!!
