Re: How was your weekend?

  • The weekend was pretty low-key. I did some laundry and scrubbed the kitchen and bathrooms. On Sunday and ran to a local craft store to sign up for a Intro to Crochet Class. I'm also debating taking a sock knitting class.

    A Chili Cook Off sounds like a lot of fun!

  • well this weekend I worked 12 hours shifts and my dp was at work too so, we really didn't have that much time together this weekend!!! ;( So, a date night is due and just trying not to focus so much on the waiting game. i'm already thinking about cycle 2 of iui's. This is our second week and I see that the pressure is on!! But, I will try to remain cool , calm relax.
  • I slept most of the weekend because of my new meds for TTC making me feel sick, and then went to the gym twice just to make myself move. My wife and I had a dance lesson for our wedding dance and that was fun. Mostly, I got the relaxation I needed to prepare for a busy week of appointments for all this TTC stuff. Life just keeps moving! And I slept through the Oscars. Oh well.

  • We had a pretty low key weekend as well. 

    Fri - After work we went and returned a few duplicate items from the baby shower. In exchange we picked up some still needed items. Organic baby wipes, some organic baby lotion.

    Saturday- 9am we had DD's last indoor soccer game of the season. She is so good and we were so proud of her! Then we went for A's last maternity photo shoot. We got some really good shots. Then we invited a friend of ours over with her hubby & kids. All our kids played together and we caught up on all things baby as she is 12 weeks prego with #3.

    Sun- We babysat in the morning for a couple hours for a friend of ours. Then we went over to A's brothers house. Kids played & the adults talked and lounged around.

    Love weekends that are all about friends & family.

    Next weekend I am taking A on a babymoon. I've kept it a surprise so I hope she enjoys it as much as I will!

    JEALOUS!!!

    Friday was a really stressful work day, so I was relieved to shut down my computer at the end of the day and go outside and shovel some snow! After that we had our 2nd Prenatal Doula Visit which was awesome.

    Saturday morning I got up early to go get an oil change, then decided to run some errands at Buy Buy Baby, etc. FINALLY ordered our Glider (which will now arrive weeks AFTER our LO gets here since I procrastinated so long), and the woman at the counter even gave me a coupon for $100 off!! I was psyched. After that I had a prenatal massage, which was wonderful, then came home and got some things done around the house.

    Sunday morning we were able to lounge together to watch CBS Sunday Morning (a treat for us), then I got myself showered and ready and went to sing in a concert that was about an hour and a half away. Probably not the best decision, especially considering I carpooled with 3 other people none of whom would have been able to leave the concert if I had gone into labor. But all turned out fine and I came home tired and slept through most of the Oscars.

     

    ETA - Sometimes I hate the bump and their trashing of formatting.  Hopefully this fixes it!
