Expecting Mamas: Hospital Survival Kit

For my sister-in law's baby shower I wanted to make her a Hospital Survival Kit without spending a lot of money...here is what I came up with: (The most expensive thing I bought was the $6 bucket @Michaels without coupon).

All the goodies

So I scoured my bathroom and pantry to find unused items I already had to add to the kit.

Sleep Sheets sleep aid (free with instant rebate from Walgreens) for DAD, NOT MOM
Loofa (in a shower gift pack I bought after Christmas)
Revlon nail file (used coupon got it for a few cents)
Hand sanitizer ($1)
Secret deodorant (used coupon almost free)
Free samples Treseme shampoo/conditioner)
Free samples Body soap
Mouthwash (used coupon almost free)
Disposable razor (from value pack)
Chapstick
Body lotion
Hair ties/head band (from value pack)
Free sample face wash
Gum ($1)
Granola bars/snacks (from my pantry)
Victoria's Secret beach bag (free with earlier purchase I made, I have tons of bags, so I kept it in the package for a gift) **Any bag will work: gift bag, reusable gift bag, beach bag from discount store, etc.***
Gift bucket ($6 from Michaels, cheaper if you use their popular 40% off coupon or find them on sale) ****This is the most expensive thing I bought*****
A free Hospital Kit printable Hospital Survival Kit Printable FREE
Finally some ribbon and a hole puncher...Ta-Da!
I also added some other bigger items that would not fit inside the bucket. I had some breastfeeding pads, some feminine pads, and stool softener (not very glamorous but most needed!)

Stuff goodies in bucket or other gift container

Ta-Da

Week 11...or 12....

It is so weird to not know about any information about the tiny life that is growing inside me. I am so anxious to have an ultrasound so I can be reassured that everything is okay, and to find out how far along I really am. On days when I wake up with energy and no nausea I start to get nervous as if I wasn't pregnant. I know that as a first time mother I am probably thinking too much into it and scaring myself, which is why I hope to set up an ultrasound appointment ASAP. Tomorrow's appointment is basically just filling out paperwork and the nurse will then set me up with an appointment to see my doctor. I just got finished watching 16 and pregnant where a girl had the hard decision to give up her baby for adoption, and then changed her mind, twice. I feel so lucky to have waited for the right person and the right time in my life to start a family. Thank you to my amazing husband and all my family and friends.

Medieval Times and Pirates Dinner Adventure Review

So we live about an hour south of some fun, family places. We have wanted to check out Medieval Times (MT) for a while now. Our friend called us up with a deal/promotion they were having. So we gave MT a call and reserved our dinner. (We visited in 2015, Buena Park, Ca) Medieval Times 2015 When you arrive, you will want to get there early mainly for parking purposes. The seats have been assigned, so it doesn't make a difference if you were the first in line. The parking is pretty limited, but I was glad to see the location was close to the freeway (also not far from Knott's Berry Farm). You are given a paper crown with a color on it. That is the team you are rooting, screaming, shouting for. We were team black and white. My daughter was still chanting "black and white!!!" days later. Before the show, you can check out some cool stuff at the gift shop, visit the bar, and my favorite part...see the horses. They are in stables and you can check them out (before...
