Taking DS to my parents this morning so he can spend the weekend there. DH and I will use our free time to go through storage and pull out the rock n play, swing, etc to finish preparing for baby. Going out for a nice dinner tonight (most likely our last before baby gets here), so I'm really looking forward to a nice meal out without needing to cut up food for a toddler LOL.
35 Weeks today, so I'm celebrating this milestone. I want to last at least another 9 days, then baby can come anytime since he/she has been consistently measuring a week+ ahead.
We finally got to go to dinner for our anniversary last night. A friend of DHs from high school opened a bbq restaurant that we've been dying to try and it was sooo good. Ordered the rest of our baby essentials from the Amazon registry last night using our completion discount. Going to Target today to get the blackout curtain for the nursery. SILs shower is tomorrow so I have to pick up sweet tea and finish cutting the "advice" cards I was asked to make with my silhouette.
Today is $1 cone day at a local ice cream chain. While DH is at a movie this morning, I'm going to one location to get a cone and when he gets back he said he'll take me to another location to get another. Going out to dinner tonight and having friends over for game night. Tomorrow we plan to clean the house and go to the store to stock up on some easy to cook meals to have around for when baby is here. I can't believe this is our last weekend without a baby!
DH and I are picking up our glider from BRU. We have some art to hang on the walls of the nursery. And I have a few sewing projects to do (boppy cover, crib skirt, pillows). We are also going to see Baby Driver tonight (thank you @kathryn0903 for the suggestion)....we had planned on seeing it last weekend but ran out of time and energy. Building IKEA furniture is hard work. I'm never building anything IKEA ever again lol
The first day May 2007 The yes day April 2012 The best day Nov 2013
My baby shower is today. I'm up in Maine for it, and currently just sitting on the couch while everyone buzzes around me. No one will let me help! My mom planned the whole thing, and I found out that it's completely classic pooh themed! I'll post photos later!

Mommy to a super cute havanesse puppy and baby boy!
Today DH and I have a first birthday party for friends' daughter. Tonight we're going out to eat crabs with DH's cousin and wife. Tomorrow DH will start painting the nursery. Yay! I'll probably do some shopping and meal planning/prep for the week.
Unfortunately getting a little early practice in with a newborn. My SIL just gave birth not quite 2 weeks ago at 36 weeks and I am rocking my nephew in our new baby room. Sadly this is because my SIL passed out this morning and is in the ER, my brother is with her and I brought my nephew home so he didn't get exposed to anything. Prayers and good thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Despite having done the newborn thing 2 years ago, still feeling a little anxious about it. Maybe because he's not my baby or maybe I'm not as prepared for this again as I thought.
@JCPSand2B I hope your SIL gets better soon. I'm sure you're doing a great job with your nephew.
@Kathryn0903 Enjoy your last baby-free weekend! Make sure you get a nap in!
I'm picking up groceries here soon via click list, and then taking all the kiddos to the pool (always an adventure). Early dinner with my parents after. I rented Lego Batman & Power Rangers to watch with the boys later. And at some point I need to cut DD's bangs today. Never a dull moment!
@Kathryn0903 enjoy that ice cream. Wishing you an enjoyable weekend as things are about to "change."
@JCPSand2B thinking of your SIL and BIL. Hopefully they'll be back with the little guy soon!
@PinkPrincessPiper just thinking of taking three kids to the pool makes me anxious. DD is finally at the age where I know she won't run off and do something crazy so it's finally relaxing for me. Wishing you sanity!
After DD took a three hour nap yesterday, she was wired so we went to the play place at the mall and let her burn off energy. Today I'm washing baby stuff (Rock n' Play right now) and DD/DH/I are playing outside. Nothing else planned for today. Church tomorrow and I'm sure DH will now while I do more baby prep inside (it's gonna be HOT again tomorrow). Hoping to narrow down and maybe select names this weekend too. But I feel like that's a pipe dream

Taking my CNA test this morning. Already completed the written portion, now just waiting for the skills portion.
When I get back home DH and I have plans to finally clean out the baby's room and put the unneeded stuff in the crawl space. Hopefully we can get the rest of the house clean this weekend too but tomorrow we have to go to my moms for her birthday.
I am am just going to continue rereading the Harry Potter series while laying on my couch in my PJs. Nothing too exciting planned for this weekend. It's supposed to be in the high 90s all weekend/ next week, so the great indoors is where I'll be!
Have my baby sprinkle tomorrow. Had to twist my arm to get me on board to have one. Went to target earlier and I feel like I bought out their clearance section. Oops.
@JCPSand2B Hoping your SIL is ok and makes a speedy recovery. That's so scary she passed out. Glad your tiny nephew is safe with you.
We're working on the serious final touches on our flip house, just a few realtor suggestions and dumb county inspector stuff. After we finish up here then back to our old house to pack up the kitchen some more and get another load in the pickup truck. I'd also like to make it to home goods or ikea to grab some stuff for the new house, plus dinner out
Tomorrow is getting the new house unpacked a bit more, build some furniture, and fix some shit that needs to get done before my H flys out for the week on business.

Thank you everyone for all the thoughts. She's home, resting and everything thankfully came back clear. Hopefully it will just be an isolated incident.
@bumpybump you totally inspired me to clean the big item baby gear tomorrow! That is such a good nice weather activity.
We had friends over to go to the beach today - it was perfect weather! I got in a 5 mile run this morning at 5:30, then cleaned the house from 7-9:30 ahead of their arrival and then we were at the beach until 1. I have eaten and drank so much to make sure baby and I stay strong that it feels like my maternity shirts are maxing out. I'm taking the girls to Michael's now to replenish their arts and crafts supplies and then will probably crash hard!
DH & I had a nice little Saturday - went for breakfast, local shops, got the baby a Gertie the Goose (Canada's version of a Sophie the giraffe) then took Finn to the dog park & pet store for a treat and toy. Crazy to think this could be one of our last weekends, just the three of us. It was a great day & now I'm catching up on Big Brother episodes.
