We were insanely busy at work last night. I got a fresh c section and fresh vag delivery within 15 min of each other right at change of shift and it didn't slow down til 4 or so. I am gonna be even more sore than I already am when I get up for the day.

I can't believe I'm having a baby next month  it's going to be 60 today so I'm going to take my new mom van and take dd to our log cabin. Tonight we are doing dinner with friends. No plans for Sunday. 

Heliumgirl717

My IL's are coming to watch DD so we can get a bunch of stuff done. I hate that we've procrastinated because doing a bunch of stuff this late is really hard.

FSUNole31

@itsfine I am due in May too so I can't believe it as well!! 

We are going to a touch a truck/family day event at a local park this morning.  I am excited because I think the kids will really enjoy it.  Our friends who moved last summer are in town for the weekend so we get to see them tomorrow which will be fun too.

DH is taking DS to see his grandparents, so I can write 4 papers (one 12 pages) for my national boards. They just left and I am still sitting on the couch. I am telling myself I HAVE to start typing by 9:30.  So not in the mood.

My mom, stepsister, DH, and DH's friend are all spending the day at Universal. I will be spending the day napping and lounging pool side since walking around my favorite amusement park not doing anything sounds far from amusing.

It also looks like I will be attending Wrestlemania (seriously) tomorrow with DH and his friend since their third had something come up last minute. Lots of wild firsts for baby lady this week!

Today I'm going to catch up on cleaning inside and out. Probably get the kiddie pool out for the kids this afternoon. Tomorrow I'm going to brave Walmart and Payless alone with the kids. My oldest had a foot growth spurt and none of her shoes fit all of a sudden.

Gonna go to Starbucks with my laptop and work on my damn registry. First baby shower is in t-2 weeks

CurlyMommy416

My induction date won't be later than May 25th, so count me in to the Baby Next Month Club.  Slightly freaking out. @FSUNole31 @itsfine

I'm just hoping to get a lot of cleaning/packing done this weekend.  Really thrilling.

Day 2 of moving. We got the rental van yesterday evening and have already done one load of things, but it fit way more stuff than we thought it would, and now there's nothing yet that's ready to go today. Since I can't lift anything I was counting on having a few hours of packing time every time they take a trip so that more things would be ready next time. Hopefully our first trip of the bed and couch fills up most of the van so we don't need too many more boxes to fill the space...

We're getting our taxes done today so that we can afford to have this baby! Lol
And apparently I'm having a baby shower for #2 so I guess I'm going to have to start looking into a registry. A friend offered to throw me one and before I could say no said she would hire a massage therapist to come massage the guests! My aching back basically said yes for me.

Today is my sons second birthday and I am very emotional about it. We are having a Thomas the Train party this afternoon and hes so excited. Hes running around yelling " Choo Choo Im 2!"

shmarpler

My friend is taking me to get a birthday pedicure. I'm excited since it's definitely sandal season here and it is hard to reach my toes.

Kylieslip24

Today we are Rotatiling our garden and starting our seeds for this summer. And our two nephews will be here all day and spending the night. Grandma and papa might be coming over for dinner too. Dd is running around the house yelling party time, party time! Gonna be a fun day!! 

huzzahuzza

@mombod last year my kiddo went around for MONTHS telling me he wanted a yellow cake with M&Ms on it and then the day before his birthday he decided he wanted a Thomas cake!!! We found the birthday Thomas at Barnes & Nobel and came up with this! I was so super proud of myself LOL

ladylolly89

We have a pretty quiet weekend. DH bought a new lawnmower and installed DS' convertible car seat this morning (installing the seat took less than ten minutes - LOVE how easy Britax products are). 
My best friend is coming over to hang out sometime this afternoon. Even though we live in the same small town, we don't get together all that often. I just wish we could visit over cocktails like we usually do. 
Tomorrow we are just going to my mom's for lunch to hang out with my brother, SIL, and nephew. No church because DH is on call, but it makes for a more relaxing day! 

Knottie42089123

I'm so jealous of those of you in warm weather. I'm in a puffy coat and Uggs!!

meg2704

I'm getting a mani pedi today so my hands and feet are pretty for maternity pictures tomorrow. Husband asked this morning if I want to take any baby clothes or props with us - is that a thing? 

meilay

@meg2704 In my hunt for photo inspiration I've seen onesies or shoes and sometimes books in maternity photos. 

I'm going to my mom's soon to go through my childhood books and see what I want to keep for this little one. I'll probably donate the rest to a school or something. Then DH and I are spending most of the rest of the day spring cleaning. It's so needed before baby comes and will absolutely be worth it, but it involves a lot of decluttering and getting rid of things, which we both have a hard time with.

Today is part two of a friend's bachelorette party.  I feel like crap, so I'll probably go to the "fun and games" and dinner, then leave.  I feel bad,  it it's nearly 1pm and I JUST woke up from a nap that I started at 10am.  Ugh.  Being sick is the suck!

i haven't heard from EM since our visit.  I've texted a few times, but don't want to bug her.  The agency has heard from her a couple times, so I know she's ok...I'm just stressing out and worried that I some how offended her or something.  

wife-and-mommy

I'm on my way to see my new niece (my sister had her baby last Sunday and lives 2 hours away). Then I'm going out to eat with two other sisters (I have 4 sisters). Hopefully tomorrow I'll get the crib painted and DH will secure the shelves in the nursery bc I'd really like to get the nursery basics ready before my showers next weekend. 

kahlan82

Okay, I need to know if I am being emotional pregnant or not.  I mentioned earlier that I had to write 4 papers today. My inlaws are in town as they drive home from a vacation, so I stayed home to do my papers (I usually go see them when they are in town) while DH and DS (3.5) went to my SIL house to hang out with all the in-laws.  My MIL and FIL and I have an okay relationship but they like to control things and try to tell us what to do which gets really annoying.  I just saw a video pop up on facebook that they did an Easter egg hunt with DS and his cousin.  I am upset.  I know they were trying to do something nice BUT they had their kids, they had those moments. DS looking for easter eggs is my moment, my memories, and I missed it. It would be like if they took him to see Santa without asking and without me being there to see it.  I know we will do it again in 2 weeks but I am sitting here writing papers thinking that it is just a playdate and there is my son running around getting his eggs.  Need some perspective before DH comes home.... legit concern or pregnancy hormones?

FSUNole31

@kahlan82 I am sorry you are upset.  It may have bugged me a little, but like you said he is going to be doing an egg hunt with you in a few weeks that you can make as special as you want.  I wouldn't think of it as missing out, more just a practice run for him.  You will get the real thing in 2 weeks and it will be awesome.  

meilay

@kahlan82 I think it's both. It would definitely bother me, especially if I didn't have the most fantastic relationship with my in-laws. I think what would bug me the most in this situation though is not so much that it happened but seeing the video on social media rather than it being sent directly to me. That would make me feel really left out of the moment. I'm sure he's still going to have a blast doing it with you in a couple weeks and you'll still have those memories.

We're having a pretty chill day at home today, just going over to a friend's house to hang out for a bit later. Last night we went to a dinner thing with church people. We didn't end up sitting with any of the people I am really friends with and enjoy, though, so I pretty much had to use my vacant-eyed half smile and nod strategy all night for self-preservation. I told dh it is my "pastor's wife" face. I like for some people to find me utterly uninteresting so they leave me alone. I'm a terrible person.

Knottie42089123

@kahlan82 I would be bothered. But I get a little harsh and sensitive a lot. 

kahlan82

Well, I didn't handle that correctly. I told myself that I wouldn't say anything about it and let it go, since it is obvious I am just being sensitive and my inlaws just get under my skin. DH walked in the door and the first thing out of this mouth was, "wasn't that a great Easter egg hunt video?"   Bring on the tears and screaming, poor DH. At least this is only my second meltdown this entire pregnancy.....that's got to count for something right?

Wino0920

@kahlan82 I'm in the boat of it's not a big deal. My focus is for my kids to do fun things and have great memories with our entire family, especially grandparents. It's about my kids, not me. 

I get get to see them everyday and experience them every day. A egg hunt seems small compared to what I get to experience. 

You will I'll do it again and they will be just as excited. 

mkrel

I feel like everyone is always doing so much with their weekends! 

@kahlan82 I can totally see how it would upset you. Even though you realized you may have been overreacting I also completely understand the freak out to your DH. Sometimes when you get worked up over something like that it's hard to let it go, especially being pregnant. 

We took our dog to the vet this morning to get a vaccine booster and I have since been relaxing. I put our stroller together as well as our bassinet and travel crib that came, and now I'm making brownies. Nothing else really planned, just trying to enjoy these quiet weekends with DH while they last. 

kahlan82

@Wino0920 I am all about it being experineces for my kids too. I think it was more the fact that it was my inlaws. They really get under my skin for numerous incidences over the last decade.  I bet if anyone else had done this with DS I wouldn't have cared, add pregnancy hormones, and spending 4 hours writing papers, and I was a ridiculous mess.  

Thanks for the perspectives ladies. I am now calm (hopefully) and moving on. Time to look for a baby monitor.

teacher mom-2

I rocked my freezer stash of big and little meals. I feel accomplished and it helped with my anxiety of not being ready. I am an organizational nut.

Our master bathroom remodel is officially DONE!  Couldn't be happier with the end result or the shower I just took.

awillis13

We had SS's birthday party at our house today.  The boys are exhausted.  Now they are both fighting to stay awake watching Monster's, Inc.  They will be having an early bedtime, and I will be right behind them.

awillis13

OH!  And I found out today that one of my good friends, who is pregnant and due 2 weeks before me (and knows she is having a boy) is most likely going with the ONLY boy name DH and I agree on at this point.  I feel like we should have a backup just in case they decide to go with that name, but DH thinks that's silly.  I don't know if it's a big deal if we use the same name (spend a decent enough amount of time together....)

It could all be a moo point (you know....a cow's opinion) because we could end up having a girl.

Knottie42089123

@mezalune I'm so jelly! Our bathroom remodel plans are on hold 

awoodruff27

@awillis13 honestly I would just talk to her about it. If you guys are close it could be cute. But I could see how so people could feel "offended" or weird about it. I think honesty and openness is the best bet in this situation. 

zseirecarg

Being due at the end of June, it's crazy to me that I could be a whole month behind you girls... heck, I could have a July baby. 

We had a crazy day of things to do, which included a 2+ hour trip to Cabela's with my DH, Dad and brother...this mama's legs are tired! 

wife-and-mommy

I now have fewer weeks between now and my due date than the number of weeks I'll be off work after the baby! Yay! 

awillis13

I am sitting at my weekend job, catching up on paperwork for my full time job.  5.5 hours in, and I'm still not done.  So basically, I had a FULL day's worth of paperwork to get through from this past week, which would have taken me a week to do if I only did it during the hours of my full time job, with all the interruptions of meetings, etc, that occur on a daily basis.  I'm kind of sick of this job.....

CurlyMommy416

@Wearmi1 thinking of you and hoping you're doing okay!!
