Tonight I think we'll have a low key night at home. Carter's allergies are kicking his behind - he is a coughing mess. I will probably rent a movie for the kids and then stay up too late watching stuff on tv that L hates. LOL.
Tomorrow I am debating taking the kids to a Thanksgiving parade. My only hesitation is that is will be pretty chilly in the AM and with Carter's cough...So we'll have to see. Perhaps we'll go see Happy Feet 2. And I need to make a Target run (thankfully L is making the Costco run today since I have NO desire to haul 2 kids to Costco the weekend before Thanksgiving!)
Sunday we have no plans. Perhaps it will be a pajama day! I have a bunch of things I need to do around the house (clean out my closet, laundry, budgeting, etc.) It just depends on our moods. I think it is supposed to be warmer out so a playground outing will be good too.
Today- Insemination day 2...bring on the TWW. I have a doctors appointment later this afternoon. Then DW is working on her thesis. Couple more weeks and she will finally be done Master's program A (I am very proud of my honey)
Tomorrow- DW is working on school stuff all day and I am working on a grad app essay. Then we are going to pick DWs brother up from some friends he is visiting about an hour away. He is spending the night with us before he heads back to Western MA. I am not a fan of the guy so hopefully I wont be forced to kill him in the 24 hours he is with us.
Sunday- Football of course. We are heading over to some close friends of ours house to watch the game and hang with their fur babies. Then we are taking the brother in law to the airport.
Looking forward to this week because I am off all week and DW is off after Wednesday. This is the great part about teaching.
We had three BFN in the Fall of 2011. It is back on to some baby making come June. Swim little fellas, SWIM!!!!
LV1979: Good luck! May you have a calm and stressless 2WW and a BFP at the end of it.
This evening: MIL is here (arrived yesterday, leaves tomorrow). I think the four of us (MIL, K, J, and I) will go to a friend's celebration this evening - she passed the Bar.
Tomorrow: no idea. MIL is leaving in the afternoon.
If I may start by AWing: Got to work this morning to find the most beautiful pink and white bouquet from Jen. Awwwww! (The card is addressed to "Rathel." Haven't seen that misspelling of my name before, usually people go with a simple "Rachael" when they want to blow it.)
Tonight I need to work out, since I blew it off this morning. We're having leftover lentil soup for dinner, and I'll probably pick up and cook some things for the freezer while we watch TV.
I'm really excited about tomorrow - we've been trying to figure out a day to do it for months. We're going up to Baltimore with friends to have brunch at Woodberry Kitchen (loooooooove) and go to the American Visionary Arts Museum (it's a folk art museum, and has the most awesome gift shop ever). We're also going to walk around Johns Hopkins, since my friend graduated from there and likes to visit now and then, and I've never been there. I'm sure Jen will be exhausted by the time we get home, so no plans for the evening.
Sunday we currently have no plans. I would like to go to the pool to swim laps and see The Descendents, but it depends on how Jen feels. Either way I will also be doing some cooking and meal planning, and applying for jobs.
Tonight: Relaxing. Its been quite the week. I'll probably grab a bottle of wine on my way home!
Tomorrow: Brunch with friends in the morning. The kids were supposed to go w/ their mom to a kids show in the afternoon but thats no longer happening Maybe we'll go see Santa at the mall.
Sunday: I think we'll take the kids to the cemetery where DW's mom is buried - they have been asking about her recently and her birthday was this week. Then maybe we'll see santa if we dont get a chance on saturday. In the afternoon a sitter is coming over and DW and I are getting the heck out of dodge!
Last night at 6 pm my girlfriend's water broke. The birthing center had us come in to confirm, and baby is happy and thriving. Kat will almost certainly go into labor today or tomorrow. So I think this weekend I'll meet my son and firstborn child!

I am carrying our second, who is due in April, and he's just started moving. I can't wait to hold our son and feel his little sibling kicking inside me. I've badly wanted to be a mom for five years -- left a marriage over it -- and can't believe it's finally happening. Twice over!
Sorry to hijack the weekend thread. Just too excited to contain myself!
- riot cow - Congrulations! Those are great plans indeed!
As for us, I'm taking Little Bear into Seattle with me so we can see some sights. My only concern would be the snow that is forecasted for this weekend. Might go up to Mount Vernon to see an old girlfriend of mine on Saturday. Sunday's plan includes the Aquarium in Seattle (Deaf Awarness Day). I hope it will be successful!
Mom to a wonderful kiddo. Wishing/Hoping for a second LO.
Tonight I think I'll be using a group.on for sushi dinner. Then I need to go home and fiddle with my phone, the software is being updated and I'm having issues. Sigh.
Tomorrow: E's dad asked me a month ago if I could have E in the morning because he has a class to go to. Ok fine. Last weekend I find out it's a driving class to keep a ticket off his record. Really? But, I'm looking forward to the extra time with E since our weekend next week will be chopped up with the holiday and then E's dad's bday on Sun. I'm hoping E and I will have a get together with her classmate and his mom so she and I can chat a bit. After E goes back with her dad, I have no idea probably chores.
Sunday: Sleeping in, I hope. Chores and errands and some cooking and maybe some net.flix and quiet time at home.

Yikes! I hope they handle it okay. And definitely grab a bottle of wine.
US: Tonight--L has a meeting, so the little guy and I will hang at home. Of all the times, our (one and only) TV broke. I don't like to have it on when he's awake or feeding, but it would have been nice to sit and watch a show.
Tomorrow--all day foster parent training. There is free day care, but he seems too little--I'm afraid of the germs. My parents were going to watch him--but now my mom has a cold and is germy! We have to decide if we're asking a friend or bringing him with (in the room with us--not the daycare).
Evening-chill, i hope.
Sunday--more chilling? I can't think that far in advance. Might try to go in to work for a few hours
We are heading down to my BIL's new house for the weekend. He and his new wife live about 3 hours from us. I am excited to see them, but not looking forward to the drive with the kiddos.

I am flying to my parents' house for the week!! YAY! My sister, BIL, and nephews are already there, and DW will fly out on Thanksgiving to join us. I can't believe this finally came!

Best. Weekend. Plans. Ever.

Thanks folks! I am grinning like a fool.
I am carrying our second, who is due in April, and he's just started moving. I can't wait to hold our son and feel his little sibling kicking inside me. I've badly wanted to be a mom for five years -- left a marriage over it -- and can't believe it's finally happening. Twice over!
