But my experience on Saturday brought me a measure of joy, I must admit. While Hazel was napping, I called several stores to price their Huggies Little Movers diapers (size 4). Between Safeway, Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Babies R Us, and Rite Aid, I found that the best deal was at Rite Aid. A pack of 27 diapers was on sale from $11.99 down to $8.99. I had several coupons for $3.00 off one pack of diapers, which would take the price down to $5.99.
But the good news didn't stop there. Rite Aid has a promotion now where (on qualifying items) I can get a $2.00 rebate per package of diapers when I submit my receipt information online. Oh, and once I buy five packages of Huggies diapers, I get the sixth package free! So, between the rebates and the five packages of purchased diapers, I get two packages of diapers for free, in essence!
When I got to Rite Aid, I noticed that there were also $1.00 coupons attached to the receipts of certain items I planned on buying. I ended up with a wonderful cashier who allowed me to do several different transactions so I used three $1.00 off coupons in the store. I bought three packages of diapers and two containers of wipes (72 count) in such a way that I was incredibly proud of myself. I boasted about my purchases to Nate later that night!
I'm 32 weeks today, or starting my 8th month of pregnancy. We're pretty excited! I see midwife Peggy on Thursday for one of my last appointments before the c-section. I'll see her at 32 weeks, 34 weeks, 36 weeks, and then the c-section is during our 38th week, so I'm not sure if I'll have an appointment with her just before the c-section or if we'll just go on and check in at the hospital.
Okay, that's all for now. More pictures soon, I swear!

why are you having a c-section? do you have to or did you decide to?
Have to, if I want to use my midwife at my hospital. I'd rather not, but it seems the safest route at this point. I'd like to have a VBAC with the last kiddo, but we'll make that decision when we get there. Hazel's birth ended in an emergency c-section, so I'm "stuck" with this for now. It took a lot of prayer, etc. to become okay with the cesarean.
I am pretty sure that the $2 rebate is "limit 1" as in you only get it on the first package of diapers. Another tip for Rite Aid is to use the store coupon for $5 off a $25 purchase. You can hand it over before your manufacturer coupons to get a really good deal. I've been around the block a few times with couponing and it can be a real pain to learn the system at each store, but once you do, it can save a lot of money!
