After that wonderful month in Tucson, we learned a few things. We need to be more frugal with our pennies! Jill showed me her coupon folder and it inspired me to start couponing! Unfortunately, we only have Wal-Mart, Target and H-E-B, so manufactured coupons are a must! We have also decided to start eating better. Fresh foods, less snacking, NO donuts (Chris) and eating leaner meats - salads too! Does that make us sound like we ate unhealthy before? We really weren't that bad, but we need to start being good examples to our kids.
We saved a little over 12 dollars at Wal-Mart the other day. Hardly any of it was unhealthy. I made steak salads out of lean beef, and romaine lettuce for lunch and dinner. We have been busy getting our house back in order that that all we've had time to eat! I'll be hitting the recipe book more often for healthier eating.
Tristan is now 5 months and thanks to Chris working a few night shifts in Tucson, I was able to wean him off of his nightly feedings. This boy was eating anywhere between 10 - 13 ozs at night! I wasn't having it anymore so I let him cry it out. Two nights ago, he slept for 8 hours straight, then again last night. Now we're polishing up his daily napping schedule. Feels great to sleep 8 hours again, I almost forgot how it was like. This will be fab over the next 6 months until this little one makes us a family of four.
I went in for my 3 month check-up and didn't gain a thing! I did horribly while pregnant with TL that I was sure I was going to see a higher number on that scale. (with the way I was eating in AZ) but the Doc was happy. The baby is growing and the heartbeat is strong. We still feel like this one is going to be a girl. We'll see...
Well that's our update for the month. LOL hope to get more pics up soon.

I am so happy that things are going good for our little Laredo family and it's wonderful that Tristan is sleeping through the night now and naps too! YAY! You make sure you get some rest while he is down too! We love you kids and I'm glad your picking up on the couponing deals! Cool!
Yay! Glad you're getting into couponing - it is seriously a shoppers high! lol Awesome that you are getting 8 hours of sleep again :) What a good little baby - oh, and so happy baby #2 and you are nice and healthy. We need to chat again soon :)
What a relief to have Tristan sleeping through the night. Yay! Good job on eating healthier - so hard in this world of convenience food. So glad everything checked out great at your checkup. So exciting!
