Happy weekend!  We almost made it to May where our first wave of babies will be born!!!  Drop your weekend thoughts and plans here!

We're having a "diaper party" in our barn tonight and I'm so excited! It is in place of a shower on my side (I had a shower with DH's family). We're expecting 40+ people and having a baked potato bar with chili. I'm pumped for all my sister's and BILs to be here and we're getting a keg so hopefully everyone comes ready to party. We will play yard games like cornhole and washers and hopefully get a game of beer pong/flip cup going! I don't even care that I can't drink. It will be so fun to have my friends and family all in one place!

Ladies night!!! I so badly want a margarita, but I'll settle for chips and guacamole. It's my last ladies night for the foreseeable future.

Off to our final prenatal class this morning, then we're finally going to watch Beauty and the Beast (to use a 2 for 1 movie coupon that explores tomorrow), and a friend of ours is having a BBQ/party tonight. Tomorrow we are helping move DH's grandma into a new room at a retirement home and then I think we have the day to ourselves. 

I'm hoping this weekend helps DH. I had thought he was doing better because he's been less anxious, but it seems that while I've been away at work 12hrs a day for the last 2 weeks, he's been sliding the other way down the scale into depression instead. He's particularly upset today because some friends were supposed to come watch a movie last night, but by the time they came over, and went out to get food, and finished talking etc etc we started the movie so late that they decided to stop it halfway through because they had to be up early this morning. DH hates when plans change, and can't stop talking today about how no one "gets it", and everyone thinks he's overreacting, and that if he's not constantly reminding people of what he wants to do then no one cares, and he'll just have to "eat it" and either let it go or start a big argument about it. 

Really, really hoping his current mood doesn't trigger the anxiety again while at this prenatal class, I don't think either of us can handle any more conversations about baby being negative, especially when it seemed we were making progress.

Currently searching for a target gift card my husband got from a coworker for a baby gift.  I can't find the stupid thing anywhere!  After that teeball and cleaning.

I would now like a baked potato with chili, chips and guac, and a margarita. I would like a personal chef to make me delicious food while I continue to sit on the couch.

We are friggin finishing the major project in my son's room that my FIL started, called in his brother, and now has become a 2.5 week long project. 
Words can really not express how pissed I am about this project! DH now has to paint 3 walls to cover the mistakes his uncle made, the project took waaay longer than it should have, and FIL abandoned DH on this project well over a week ago. DS1 has been sleeping in the baby's room and I had thought that we were nearly done with her room but everything from DS1's got piled in her room and I'm going to have to rewash everything from her room and DS1's room because of drywall dust. Like even stuffed animals. 
To top it all off, DH and I were trying to have the attitude of "oh well, free labor" but his uncle asked for $50 yesterday to cover costs! Its a drop in the bucket compared to what it would have cost to have a professional come in but we're now going to have to do 10x more work because of him. I wanted to work on the nursery and baby stuff this weekend

Im travelling for work and my husband and son are coming up today for the weekend. I miss my baby so much so I am so anxious to get my hands on him. Im not going to put him down bc I only get today and tomorrow before he goes to my moms until Friday.

After working 40 hours this week and all the rain/storms we are having... I just want to sleep. However, I think it finally hit me that baby will be here soon, so I guess I should finish buying things we need and actually finish her nursery. I'm not usually one to procrastinate on this stuff, but being almost 35 weeks pregnant and working 40 hours a week (on my feet, I'm a nurse) is starting to take it toll. Someone else tell me I'm not the only one waiting til last minute! lol

H and I are going to work on moving! Where we live now was only temporary until we found a place closer to his work. So we rented a place for May 1 but are going to start moving our stuff in over the weekend while H doesn't have work. I'm very excited! This place has not been ideal for a number of reasons, including H's almost hour-long commute. Now it'll be about 10-15 minutes. And it's a 2-bedroom. We were planning to just get a 1-bedroom, but this one is pretty low rent for a 2-bedroom and is potentially a place we could live for a few years until we're ready to buy. It will be nice to have the extra space with the baby. We can also stick a desk in there, filing cabinet, make a little office space, which will be really great.

I hit the motherload at some yard sales this morning! That means I can return the new clothing I bought for this baby and put that money back into the bank. Score!

I drove back from a bachelorette party in Michigan this afternoon and headed home to shower and then to a first communion party. My drunk friends kept us up super late last night the were up by 8am. Now DH and I are hanging out at my parents head but I quickly need to have a date with my bed for our all day birth class at the hospital tomorrow followed by a baby shower for a family member. Zzzzzzzz

Wrong thread!

wife-and-mommy

@huzzahuzza that is so frustrating! I totally can commiserate with that after having months of bathroom/house renovation!

@TGmomtobe90 I've been doing better the past week or two bc every few days insomnia and energy comes out of nowhere, but I feel like I've been procrastinating and I'm not typically a procrastinator. Work is just so much more difficult and exhausting when you're 8 months pregnant! I need extra rest time. ... but I also have more to do than ever before!

I've been patiently waiting for that nesting phase to kick in, but I guess I slept through it. Haha
