I love sales!


We snagged all these diapers and wipes today at Babies R' Us.
We paid $61.
We saved $109.

I'm a happy camper. :)

And I barely used any coupons.

I'll be making a post tomorrow hopefully about Banana's trip to the fair.
Pictures are a given. And there will be plenty of story about what the boy and I did as well.
Whether or not the post happens depends on how work goes. Blech.

BTW

Harry Potter = amazing. ♥

We saw it Tuesday for Kevin's birthday.
Also ate at Cool Hand Luke's.
That place is always a different experience.
Not always the best, though haha.

Today we're going to the county fair with my parents.
Looking forward to it more the normal this year.
It'll be Oliver's first year. :) First of many.
I just hope it doesn't get too hot...

Monday I start up work again.
So not looking forward to that... :(

I'll miss my boy.

But you missed all the scenery...

We went for another walk again today. :)
We've been trying to have a family walk every day for bonding time, especially since starting Monday I go back to working full-time.
Not really looking forward to that one...
But anyways!

We got Bananas all bundled up and ready to go, and he was still fairly awake. He'd been napping before we put him in his car seat and all that fun stuff. But as you can see, he was still slightly out of it...

Before we'd even left the property of the complex, he was already out! It makes me sad because he's not up to see the scenery and the world surrounding him. But at least he loves his car seat enough to be fine with falling asleep in it all the friggin' time! :P

The picture didn't come out too well because of the positioning of the sun (and I only had the camera on my phone), but we saw the epic paint job on this car and loved it. It's camo with anti-warfare symbols hidden in the paint. It was like a search puzzle in a car! So fun!

I love the little artichoke plants under this flowery bush. They kinda made me hungry, though...

And this was, I think, our favorite house we found today. You can click on the picture to make it bigger, of coarse.

We've been walking a different route every time we go to make sure we don't get sick of the view. Keep things new and interesting. And we're also going to try to make the walks longer and longer. It never hurts to get a work-out at the same time! :)

Then we went over to our friend's home and I helped her cook a casserole. She's never really cooked meals that aren't prepared in a box already, and I think it'd be nice for her to be able to make a meal for her husband whenever she's up for it. And he doesn't mind, of coarse! Haha.

So all-in-all, it was a long day full of doing things, but I loved it.
Definitely not looking forward to going back to work...
But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Until next time!

Ooo new blog...

So I know that I have about 50 blogs all-in-all on this here Blogger website. But I'm going to try and utilize this one to the best of my ability. This is for all-around goodness, not one subject in particular. Yay! :) So the reason for the title of this blog..."Double K" is how a few of my friends refer to my fiance and I since both of our names start with a "K". As for "Bananas", that's the nickname for our little bundle of joy. For future reference, whenever I refer to someone as "Boy", I'm talking about my fiance, not my child. So onto a bit of an update.

This is "Bananas". He was born on May 9, 2011 at 1:13am.
He weighed 7lbs 15oz and was 19.5in long.
He was 1hr and 13mins away from being born on Mothers Day.
My mom and I spent Mother's Day in the labor room. :P

I woke up at 6am to my water breaking, called the hospital, took a shower, and then headed into the birthing center. I was admitted about an hour after arriving there and was put into the Labor/Delivery room. Even though my water had broke, I wasn't really experiencing contractions and wasn't progressing. They decided to pump me with Pitocin to try and spur on the contractions. It worked, but the contractions were wrapping around to my back, and after 6 hours of that with still no progressing, I decided to go ahead and get the epidural. I was at 4cm dilation when they gave me the goods, and within 1.5hrs I was fully dilated and ready to push. After the doctor arrived, it took about 6 pushes and he was out! :) The cord was wrapped very loosely around his neck, which was good, and he promptly peed all over me as soon as he was out. It was our special bonding moment I guess! Other then not progressing, there were never any issues with his birth or the pregnancy for that matter. It was really quite an easy journey for me. And I'm grateful for that.

This is him now at 10 weeks old.
He loves smiling, babbling, and grabbing hold of things.

Today is Kevin's birthday, and we're planning to go to dinner and a movie, more specifically the new Harry Potter movie! Yay! Grandma and Grandpa will be watching Bananas for us so we can have a mini date.

But now, I must run off. My child is unhappy! Gotta go use the momma magic on him! Especially since he keeps calling out "Mama!" :P
