Wow, that's just great news all around! Congratulations!

I think it'll be fine to wait a while longer in hopes of a free shipping offer. Maybe give it a couple more weeks and if it doesn't happen, pull the trigger, get 'em in and wrapped and off your mind before the babies come. I wouldn't put it off too long though. You could wind up on bedrest or something and then find yourself in a pickle.

We do a holiday checkin once a week down in the check-in section (Wednesdays). You are welcome to join us down there if that will help you!

I think you have done a great job and I bet that none of the things you have cut so far has killed anyone in the family just yet. I want to be one if no one else says anything to you I think you desire a big pat on the back

You definitely deserve a congratulations! That is great. I'm glad you posted again. Mary Ann has some great advice about getting the preparations for Christmas done ahead of time; if you do up Christmas cards in advance I suggest you keep a list of who you've written them to and maybe don't seal the envelopes now in case you need to change anything...and keep them in a box in alphabetical order.

Even $300 for your daughter for Christmas is a lot in my mind. My best presents were the stuffed animals my mum made for me. I would buy them now only if you can be restrained and just quit once you get to your limit; wrap them all up and be done with it. As Mary Ann said you will probably be to tired then anyway. Congratulations on your progress.
