39 weeks

This pregnancy has been great (as opposed to the horror stories I've heard of other pregnancies). The morning sickness went away by the 2nd trimester (which for me, the morning sickness really only consisted of nausea, no throwing up). And for the most part, since then the rest of it has been really nice too. I've mostly kept my energy up (maybe partly because I have to, working full-time at a job where I'm on my feet all day and running back and forth). I'm getting at an uncomfortable point in the pregnancy though. About ready for him to make his debut. He will be getting an eviction notice in 2 weeks if he's not out by then though.

I have been taking weekly pregnancy silhouette pictures, just have been really bad at posting them every week. I will be working on a collage to see the progress each week and will post that in the coming weeks. Only 2 more days of work and then I'm on maternity leave!

Shop online much?

If you're a frequent online shopper (this is definitely helpful during holiday months!), you should sign up for Ebates.com! You get cash back just for shopping at your favorite stores! Ebates.com is a rebate/online coupon site. Once you sign up (free to sign up), you find the store you want to shop at, Ebates will open up a shopping trip for you so that when you purchase something from that store, Ebates will calculate how much you get back from what you spent. You get a different percentage depending on what store you shop from, and during peak times like holidays, a lot of stores double the percentage you get back.

If you don't go through the ebates website when you start shopping, you won't get anything back. It does really work though! I've already got money on my account from the holiday shopping! They pay quarterly, and if you haven't done much shopping to get a certain amount in your account, that money will rollover into the next quarter.
