Garage sales were never of too much interest for either Jeremy or me until we decided to look for baby things. Every Spring in Warsaw certain neighborhoods host their neighborhood garage sales, and that's where we spent our last two Saturday mornings with unbelievable success!
Since we've never done this before, we first had to do some research on what baby items are ok or not ok to buy used. With our lists & research in minds off we went...Between both weekends we ended up with the following items: convertible crib, pack n'play, swing, bouncer, bath tub, toys, some clothes, and other smaller items. Total cash spent - less than $100. Jeremy did price comparison last night, and we realized that we've saved over $700!
We had our 18-week check up on Wednesday. The doctor said that everything looks and measures good, we heard the heartbeat and now Jeremy thinks it's going to be a girl - 155-160 beats/minute. Next month we will find out for sure!
I'm doing much better these days, I can stay up for a little longer and the afternoons don't seem to drag as they used to. The only thing I still struggle with are the leftovers and food in general. Every meal and snack are so much work! I never know what I want to eat, so it takes a lot of my energy trying to figure out what will be my next meal.
Well, I should start getting ready - I'm hosting an Open House at one of our lakefront properties this afternoon. Wishing for lots of traffic & potential clients!

That's exactly what Julie and I did, Oxana. It's a great way to save money. And you can even get rid of them in the same way, since the baby grows so fast that they don't wear them out!
Let me know if there is anything you might want/need before buying anything new! We always bought everything new and have way too much crap! (Including clothes:) As soon as you find out the sex I can send some clothes your way!! Glad youre feeling better! It just gets better.
