Thrifty Finds Week 8ish...

I am in week eight of my pregnancy, and surprisingly I feel better than a few weeks ago. I am still a bit nauseous but not as much and I have more energy these past two weeks. Bruce and I were bargain shopping at a thrift store and spotted this glider chair and ottoman; retail value over $200. We figured we could clean the upholstery or re-upholstery it, so even though it is a bit early to start buying baby furniture we could not pass this up for $40. I also found a brand new baby rearview car mirror and a What to Expect When Your Expecting book for $1. I love bargain shopping, I have to admit it is hard because I don't want to get ahead of myself since I still am waiting for my insurance to get approved and set up a doctor's appt. But so far all is well and I have been trying to eat healthy food; cutting out sodas and chips has been a challenge; but definitely worth it.
