3rd Trimester

First in '10 Friday Check In

For something a bit different today...

Last night I went on the baby boards and asked the mamas what they wish they had known before baby came!  Here is what they said:

0-3 month board:

Have fun reading the answers!  I hope that you find this informative!

QOTD:  What are your weekend plans?

Me:  My stepmom is getting knee replacement surgery next week so will be missing Elliot's bday next week.  She and my dad are coming up this weekend instead... we are hoping to hit up a pumpkin patch.

  • My brother is in town for the weekend, so lots of family activities (and mom's home cooking!). I also have my 4th Hypnobirthing session.

  • Saturday night we are going to see Rodney Atkins, Lady Antebellum, and The Lost Trailers. The concert is being held at the local Rodeo Grounds and from what I know is standing only, so I'm sure my back will be killing me the next day..
  • tomorrow my mom and i are going to the spa.  i'm getting the "maternity soother" which includes a massage, mani/pedi, and lite lunch.  :)  we are going to dinner w/my parents that night too to ruth chris.  they have never been before.

    on sunday i'm planning to buy the paint for the nursery.  :)

    Thanks for sharing the posts, they were good to read! 

    happy weekend all!

  • QOTD: We're hosting brunch for 18 tomorrow in our tiny house (kill me now) and then I have a work thing on Sunday evening. I have a massage appt. tomorrow afternoon, so I'm stoked about that!

  • I have a dr appt today, and it will be my last one with this doctor because I am tired of his crap. Tomorrow I hope to take DS #1 to the zoo and on Sunday we are going to Michael's for a craft project they are doing for the kids. 
  • I can't wait to read the posts. What a great idea!

    QOTD: DH is currently home ripping apart our kitchen that we're starting to remodel this weekend. I'm sure he'll be wrapped up with that project for most of the night, so I might just start painting our living room in the meantime.

    Tomorrow I'm going for my first pregnancy massage. I can't wait! I've been so uncomfortable lately that I finally gave in and scheduled the appointment. I just can't deal with the constant discomfort anymore.

    Sunday is my shower. I'm really looking foward to it.

  • Thanks for the posts they were great to read!

     QOTD: We get another 3d U/S tomorrow, so excited to see our LO again!  Then off to run some errands to start getting the house ready for LO to arrive.  Hopefully our dresser/changer will be in and we can pick it up and put it together as well.

  • Thank you for those.  There seems to be some strong trends between all of the posts.

    QOTD: I am going to a baby shower for my new nephew (arriving in late Novemeber - early December).  Mom and Dad (SIL and BIL) are both stationed in Guam so they can't come and we can't buy a bunch of stuff for them because it is insane to ship it to Guam.

  • Mom and I are going to start on our baby bedding. I know, we're a little late, but we couldn't agree on fabrics. I also plan to sew up some curtains for our bedroom, since we've been w/out for a few months. Getting dressed is tricky. Then DH's brother and some friends are coming back over to do some more hunting.

    MIL insisted she take our camera so that she could take pictures of everyone (meaning BIL). My only request was that I have it back Sunday for my belly pic, but she pretty much told me it's not gunna happen. DH gave her the camera when I wasn't around. I wasn't going to let her have it.

    Anyways...Have a good weekend!

  • Great post! very informative

     

    QOTD: heading to Vegas! our last trip for a while. =_

    Library and putting in applications today to find something part time through the holidays. Saturday: is a friends halloween party and a Bachelorette party at night. Sunday: house work and meeting in-laws to get some stuff. 

  • Thanks for the posts! Great idea and lots of good advice from all the mamas.

     QOTD: Tomorrow I have a prenatal massage - so excited! We are also meeting with our dog trainer to work on a few more things with our puppy before LO comes. On Sunday my mom and I are going on a baby shopping spree for stuff for the nursery and a few items that we still need.

  • GREAT idea! I am really loving reading all the responses-

     QOTD: it's going to be nice, sunny, about 75 degrees here- so maybe some nice outside time this weekend. We are getting ready to move next month- so probably start cleaning out the garage- and pack up more stuff. (how did we get so much crap??) haha!

  • Definitely interested in reading the responses.

    QOTD: It's a party weekend - 1 yr. old b-day party Saturday and a brunch/engagement party on Sunday (hoping the food will be great!).

  • What a great idea! I'm a 2nd time mom, but still love getting "refreshers" from new moms :) I'm so excited to be joining back up with the First in 10ers on 3rd tri!

    Weekend plans: really busy tomorrow and I've got to put together a costume for a Halloween party- eeek. That's after DD's morning music class, attending a fair for work, and MIL's 60th b-day dinner. It'll all be fun, but I'm kinda looking forward to Sunday!!

  • I am working both days :( but after work tomorrow I get to go pick my own apples for free at a really nice orchard near our house. On Sunday I hope to make some progress on the nursery.
  • Trying to stay busy after the news we got about the abnormal pocket of fluid in our babies tummy. Mom is taking me shopping and my nephew is having his 3rd birthday party. Just trying to stay positive and wait for our ultra sound with the specialist on Thursday.
