i’m officially full-term! i’m 37 weeks and 2 days and ever since i was told i’m gestational, i’ve not gain a pound. i guess that’s good right? i did gained a total of 30 pounds.

faith is also turning 6 next wednesday and she’s really really excited!! we’re planning a birthday bash for her – i’m hoping to make it both frugal and as eco-friendly as i possibly can within budget. that means we’re not using any plastic plates, cups, or utensils. i don’t think i have enough cloth napkins so if i have to, i’ll have to hunt for some recycled-napkins.

we are going to pick out some cake mixes and bake the cake ourselves instead of buying – she’ll love that. we created and printed invitations last night – they’re very cute! as for food, i’m going to make some curry noodles and some asian salad.

for party favors, i’m going to check out the dollar store as they’re suppose to have cute little inexpensive things that i can get.

we aren’t doing a lot of gifts this year – i’m going to give her a target giftcard – the $25 that i got from the nicole’s advantage (i switched the card to a “happy birthday” giftcard), a gift basket, and a personalized story book. that way she can go shop for something she likes.

for now, i hope the little guy will wait until sometime after his sister’s birthday bash to make an appearance.
