Workweek here is Sunday-Thursday so working today. H and I used to dye eggs but I can't stomach them this pregnancy so not this year. 
When I used to live around my hometown we'd do dinne at my moms. Just immediate family and small. It was nice.

bubsalicious

@MTB16  and @Sarah0985 I'm so jealous you dye eggs with your husbands normally! I always ask H to do holiday stuff with me but he soooooo doesn't enjoy it so I have to wait until LO is big enough.
@LilMissCrafty Isn't it crazy how a little fun will stick us in bed the next day? So uncool baby, so uncool. And very exciting to have a date set!
@OmegaRose3 Right, who would've thought my house was so disorganized and needed to be reevaluated 2 months before baby is here?

How far along are you? 34 weeks

How big is baby? I think it said squash. I like to believe it's as big as something that actually tastes good.

Any appointments this week? Nope

Symptoms? Other than bouts of shear exhaustion, I have been feeling great. Is this what 2nd tri was suppose to be? Whatever, I'll take it since its a rare unicorn in 3rd tri

Cravings? Cinnamon. Thanks baby for choosing a different candy, Jolly Ranchers were much easier for me to get my hands on...

Rants/Raves/Questions? I talked about my baby shower in the randoms thread, but I just want to repeat that fact that we got some pretty cool and cute items for being team green! H and I were quite impressed since we figured we'd get mostly gift cards!

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

GTKY: Easter plans or traditions? We are not doing our normal Easter this year because it would've happened yesterday, and we had a baby shower that day. Today we plan on just relaxing and recooping after being so busy still.

sarah0985

@absbubbs at first he was into it because he didn't ever get to do it before since he's Muslim. But then he kinda gets forced into it. I wouldn't say he enjoys it but he humors me. 

Eta. I was also impressed with our gifts for team green. I think people are coming around to not being so gender-typed

@OmegaRose3 - I came home from my appointment on Friday determined to organize everything. Because the baby would notice if the pots and pans cabinet wasn't perfectly organized, right?

m3ganmc

Hahaha I vacuumed out my car the other day because I couldn't possibly bring baby home in a dirty car...he would definitely remember. Crazy preggo obsessions

BabyMC517

Lol I told H we need to clean out the cars and try installing the car seats just to make sure we know how and have it checked. I mean it needs it regardless of baby coming but that's the main reason!

OmegaRose3

So glad I'm not the only one who's doing weird reorganizing...like does my newborn really need me to reorganize my nail polish, my mug cabinet, and shred old documents? No, but that's exactly what I'm doing
