My mood while writing this blog: Happy

Hi Ladies. It's been quite a while since I've written anything on here. Life is crazy busy around here.

Couldn't wait to share my news about my big find last Saturday! We went to a yard sale here in my neighborhood and as usual were "just looking" when I came across this beautiful black over the shoulder bag and realized I was looking at a Medela breast pump. Now, it's pretty much the motor in the bag but it's in MINT condition. When I was pregnant with Drew I had wanted an electric breastpump but as you know, they are soooo expensive. My girlfriend Steph lent me her manual Medela and my sister lent me her single electric and between the two I was able to pump for Drew. As it turned out my breast feeding days ended after about 6 1/2 weeks because little Drewster was eating more than I was producing. :( After I beat myself up over not being able to breastfeed him anymore I was fine again. :D

Well, anyway, I asked the woman "Just out of curiosity" how much was she selling it for. She said, "Well...........................how about $15 dollars"

I just about freaked out. $15 DOLLARS??????????? WAS SHE KIDDING ME?

I am NOW the proud owner of an absolutely MINT Medela pump!!! Can you believe it???? Well, I found the manuals inside and it turns out that this breastpump is selling on the internet for about $275! Granted they come with 4, 5oz bottles and the shields and tubes, etc. But for $25 I can go over to Babies R. Us and pick all that stuff up!!! Oh, plus I read last night that it's NOT a single pump but a DOUBLE!!!

OMG, I am just over the moon about it.

Being that my DH and I are now trying to have baby #2, this would definitely come in handy. If we end up NOT getting pregnant then I'll sell it, but for now, I feel like I hit the jackpot!!!
