It is finally Friday!!!!  I officially have maternity sub notes completely finished for all of May (Not due until the 28th, but you never know).  I have big plans to finally get all the nesting done at home now since I'm done nesting at work (stealing this from a fellow member! Haha!) and go see a movie.   What are your weekend plans?

Nine hour shift tonight, then picking up my OH from his last "guys night out" for awhile! Saturday, I work a nice short shift! Sunday, we spend our last day together as a family of two!! Can't help but think I'm forgetting to do something before our little peach arrives but I don't think that will ever go away!

Tomorrow I plan to spend my day making freezer meals. Sunday my brother's GF and my mom are coming over to help DH and I knock stuff off our to do list. I am excited! Finally, we are going to get some things done!

We have a long weekend (some public holiday on Monday). The only set plans we have is Civil War on Sunday. Other than that, I have 'Salem's Lot to read and DH has Dark Souls to play. We have some baby errands, but they are mostly just unpacking and setting up the camping cot in our room. @AdorkablePixie No Civil War for you guys this weekend?

DH is finishing the majority of the nursery - floor, moving the furniture in, putting baseboards back on, putting decal up, frames on the wall, etc. I'll be getting last minute shopping done, packing the bags, thank you notes, and making letters spelling LO's name for a wall in the nursery. Then if DH finishes his list in time, organizing the dresser and closet, bookshelves, toys, etc. Lot's of baby stuff this weekend.

Tomorrow we are going to BJs to stock up on freezer meals, toilet paper and baby wipes. And Home Depot to get the propane tank for the grill and some plants. Sunday is car seat installation day (please say a prayer for me. These types of projects normally spark a fight). Gotta get some walks in, in hopes of getting things started here. And getting ready for my last week at work! This could be our LAST WEEKEND childless...AHHHHH!!!!!

This is our last "free" weekend before the baby comes! I'm not due until the 27th, but Mother's Day weekend, the ILs are visiting from out of town   <-- that's me smiling but not really... the following weekend is DS1's 3rd birthday party (genius idea on my part), and yada yada. 

So this weekend will consist of home prep. Getting clothes put away, things organized, and attempting some semblance of order in the house because right now it's a hot mess. 

My excitement for the day is that it's $3 tuna sub day at Subway and I'm going to pick one up. Kind of pitiful, but it sounds good to me today. With some salt & vinegar chips. My breath is gonna be *fresh* but oh well.

Work is going sooooo slooooow today... but after I'm going to coach high jump practice, DH is grilling for dinner, if it's nice out I will take a walk and if not I might pick up things around the house. Tomorrow DH is helping our friend finish his deck (I might go watch) and I have sewing projects and organizing projects to work on. I ordered an exercise ball that should arrive tomorrow so bouncing is on the agenda  Sunday is lunch with DH's family for FIL's birthday!

YAY WEEKEND!!!!!!

Gah! I had an emotional "omg we're going to have another baby in a week and I have no idea how we're going to juggle 2 kids" moment this morning where I just bawled my eyes out. It also came after my mom seeming like she didn't want to watch DD overnight tomorrow night while we go to a wedding. I think I just took it the wrong way. She said she didn't want to stress her out and make her stay, but if she fell asleep then she'd stay. I guess since starting next Friday she's not going to have a choice, she doesn't want to stress her out now and make the stay while we're in the hospital even more stressful. It makes sense to me now, but I didn't take it that way at first.

So anyway, we have a wedding tomorrow night, then Sunday we have NOTHING. The plan is to continue getting the house in order and ready for a deep cleaning on Tuesday.

You are so lucky! Civil War doesn't come out here until the 6th. Keeping my fingers crossed LO holds off on making an appearance until after I get to see it!

My husband has abandoned me and the toddler to go to New Orleans for a bachelor party. I plan on ordering pizza tonight. 

Getting PnP set up for new baby in our room and more nesting this weekend. Or napping when toddler is napping as opposed to being productive. Big plans. :-)

For some reason we get movies way earlier this side. It came out in Wednesday already! So strange, would have thought it was the other way around! I'll hold thumbs for your part as well!

Tonight I plan on doing NOTHING. Just putting my feet up and watching something on Netflix. Saturday I need to clean the place a little, cause I saw several cat hair tumbleweeds this morning. Sunday we clean the cars, remove our winter tires, and install the car seat. Monday we do some shopping out of town, and then I plan to use the rest of the week to prepare some freezer meals. Hopefully I actually manage to do all these things lol

DH is currently installing our new dishwasher (yay! I've been handwashing for a month now...).  It's been raining here all week, so I've been stuck indoors and would like to get our garden weeded and more landscaping projects done, as well as some work at the carwash.  My parents were going to come and visit, but they decided not to so they can get yardwork done.  I'm partially disappointed because I would love the company and partially disappointed because I could have roped them into helping us with ours   Other than that, I'm setting up a tee time for DH to go golfing (we live on a golf course and it'll be his first time this year) so he can have some time to himself because he's been working crazy hard this week.

Last day of work for me. C section is Monday morning!! 3 days!! Today I'm getting DD from school since I never pick her up. I left early yesterday to get her also since I'm working up until my c section. Today we're going to get frozen yogurt and shopping. Tomorrow DD's last basketball game in the morning then team party in the evening with the whole league (picnic style with food trucks). Sunday: family funday since it's our last day as a family of 3. Oh and at some point get a mani/ pedi. I've stocked up on household items and food. Need to clean house and make sure hubby packed a hospital bag for him, but other than that we're ready. 

hellogoodbye2

I have a pedicure tomorrow! Other than that I plan on making a CostCo trip to stalk up on bulk items, vacuum the 2nd floor, & pack our hospital bag!

AdorkablePixie

@Charissadeats Civil War doesn't come out here until next weekend!! No fair! We will be going to see it next weekend, for sure.

diabeticmom

I can't believe how many of us have this as our last weekend before baby comes. My Csection is scheduled for Thursday. Tonight my work is throwing me a baby shower since I actually stopped working a few weeks ago. It's at my boss's house so should be interesting. The rest of the weekend is going to be spending as much time with my son as possible and relaxing. 

clbness

It's snowing all weekend here, so we will be doing all the things inside.  Getting the nursery dresser put together and all the foldy clothes put in it, deep cleaning the rest of the house, freezer meals, clean vehicles and install car seats, one last run to Target for baby essentials/registry completion and finish packing my hospital bag.  Real exciting around our household!

@Spylon I feel your pain on the cat hair tumbleweeds...except mine are combination tumbleweeds of 2 cats and 2 St. Bernards.  We're a hairy family.  

JoMunson

Mom wants to go look at clothes at JC Penny and then we're gunna paint the baby's room! I've told people that after this weekend I wanna try and stay within walking distance of my house so my water doesn't break in public (such a fear!)

Spylon

@clbness Right?? There's no winning with the pet hair! I can't imagine two large dogs on top of my two cats lol. I'd love ones of those pet hair Roombas if they didn't cost a jillion dollars.

DH's first day of leave is today!! I'm going to be the DD for him at a happy hour-like afternoon at a great pizza place. Hopefully after that we can run to Sam's Club to pick up snacks and quick meals to tide us over this weekend and next week (my c section is Thursday!). Tomorrow the IL's are coming over to help set up DD's new big girl bed, DH is going to mow the yard, and I'm going to set up DD's new pool for the season. I may see if I can talk DH and FIL to hang DD's swing on a new tree branch. Sunday we will probably lounge and maybe go to the park. We're trying to spend a lot of quality time with DD before little sister gets here It's already so great to have him home!

Ha! Oh no! I will put it in the freezer if it gets too scary

@Spylon Those things are so dang expensive!  I've decided biting the bullet and sweeping the floors ALL THE TIME is worth it for the fur babies.

Last weekend before baby's arrival here as well! Tomorrow, DH and my dad are assembling a swing set for DS. I'm just playing each day by ear at this point. I did my weekend chores early so that I can maximize play time/quality time with DH and DS and hopefully rest up a little before Tuesday. This morning, DS and I went to a farm nearby to get produce and pet/feed the goats and sheep. It's a nearly free outing that he loves that is a weekly springtime/summertime ritual for us. Since I won't be able to drive for a few weeks, I wanted to be sure to take him before my rcs.

Last weekend before my EDD so we are going to do some final house work and go see "Keanu" Anyone else a big Key & Peele fan?
I'm probably going to try to walk a lot, because I would like baby to make his move and be done with working! 

proudparent2b

DH just recieved and accepted an awesome job offer after six months out of work, so we're going to celebrate tonight!

I'm planning to just relax and work out this weekend, since LO is due in 11 days (or less, if I believe my OB who says it should be literally any day now due to dilation/effacement).

balamama

No real plans for the weekend except for getting a mani/pedi tomorrow which is much needed and will hopefully be relaxing. I keep thinking this could be our last weekend sans baby! So crazy to think about.

jenashawn

@babyfmama I just got a mani/pedi last night and it was so relaxing I started falling asleep in the pedi chair!

Effing BEST SURPRISE EVER! DH walked in the door today and told me his command is letting him stay home for this next month long underway meaning he gets to be home until their 8 month long deployment in a couple months. After getting news from my ob today that they're inducing Tuesday due to pre-E and baby's size I seriously flipping lost it. I was so prepared to go through this labor and delivery alone and to take care of the baby by myself until he gets home in 9.5 months and this just freaking topped everything. He's SO excited to be able to be here for the birth. Anyway, we have reservations at our favorite fish house on the pier tomorrow night, then we want to go see Mother's Day on Sunday. He's going to help me finish up the nursery and we are just going to spend time together since it's just us and the dogs for a few more days. My mom will be here late Monday night and we head to the birthing center Tuesday at 4.

Bluejay3030

Bltbear82

@ncm0328 that really is the best surprise ever! So happy for you and your husband!

NinnyJean

@ncm0328 so happy for you both!

This weekend I'm planning on deep cleaning the kitchen. Really want to reorganize the cupboards to make some room for bottles. Also might try and run to get our taxes amended, found out that because of the free program we used it didn't catch something which led to is paying a bunch when we should have gotten a refund. So hoping to get that taken care of to hopefully get some extra money for when LO gets here!
