Getting Bigger

I am 15 weeks 2 day today and I am finally starting to feel better. Definitely not 100% yet, but better is so nice. My belly is getting bigger everyday. I feel such a close connection with the baby already. I spent the day in the kitchen cooking yesterday. I made a big pot of pinto beans, a large batch of brown rice, corn bread with whole corn, and tons of chocolate chip cookies from scratch. We had that for dinner last night and then made wraps with tortillas for lunch today. At some point in the next few days I will make re-fried beans and soup with the rest of the beans. We went to the grocery store tonight and saved $108 dollars. I actually bought 108 items too. I had not been getting the paper or clipping coupons for the past few months since we moved. Joey had been doing most of the shopping here and there on his way home from work. I am getting my coupons built back up and getting back in the swing of things. I have missed doing it and cooking for everyone. Tomorrow I am going to finish planning our meals for the week. Joey requested I make a pitcher of sweet tea, something you won't find in New Jersey. I also need to make laundry detergent and refill all of our cleaners.
