Hello ladies (and potentially gentlemen), it is Friday! Do y'all have any fun plans for this weekend?

catiecatp · April 2016

No big plans for me - DH has another Heroes of the Storm tournament to watch, this time it is in Korea so the timing is late at night. During the day - we'll see if I can drag him out for a nice walk one day - and ramping up the BD. BIL comes to visit next week so we should clean too...

DH is home working for the day. The subway was out when he went to go to work, and there's been so much trouble this week with it he just said eff it. It's a shame it was today, as his work does Fancy Fridays - they get a budget of around $50 to go for lunch anywhere they like. He chose bowling this week. Anyway, I like it when he stays home to work, we always do something for lunch ourselves which saves me from my daily smoothie and flax seeds.

Going to the dentist tomorrow! I'm happy to have my teeth taken care of by someone I trust not to hurt me. That'll probably take up the majority of the day, though AF is swiftly approaching and she seems as though she's going to be really violent this time around.

Sunday, there's The Toronto Old Book and Paper Show, which I am so looking forward to. I worked it last year and it was super fun in a great venue. It's actually the same place as the winter farmer's market we went to a few weeks ago. My best friend wants to meet up beforehand for breakfast, so we'll do that with DH, him and his bf (if bf can get out of bed that early). I think we'll try someplace new!

@catiecatp I hope the weather's nice for your walk! Are there nice spots for walks around your house?

fivetimesnoluck · April 2016

Happy Friday! This weekend should be fun! I am looking forward to my college roommate coming to town tomorrow. We always have the best laughs when we are together.

The weather is supposed to be bad tonight, so I'll probably just take it easy and clean up a bit for company.

beff12 · April 2016

Yay Friday! I think we have a pretty chill weekend, which will be nice after our crazy busy Easter last weekend. I'm nervous about Sunday...it's my SIL's baby shower. I think I've mentioned my story in here before, but her due date is just a couple days after when our baby would have been due, so there's a lot of comparisons and "this should be me" going on in my head. I'm using all of my willpower to be excited for her and my brother, but the closer we get to May the harder it gets

SnobunnieMel · April 2016

Yay Friday!!

@fivetimesnoluck I hope you have a blast. Friends visits can be good for the soul

This is the first weekend DH and I have both had off from work since our MMC so we are trying to just spend time together. Likely dog park then a trip to ikea tomorrow morning. I have a stockpile of gift cards to a nice steakhouse that our spine surgeon gave me the last two Christmases so we are going to plan on a fancy date night out

sunday is our yoga and brunch morning before being lazy around the house. I have some surgeries next week I need to research up on so I will probably squeeze that in there as well.

Spartanrd4 · April 2016

Going to a concert tonight with some friends and the rest of the weekend will play by ear...I really wanted to do some clean up in the garden but don't think the weather is going to cooperate. Maybe will do some baking because thats one of the things I like to do for therapy and DH has been craving red velvet cake for some reason. Probably will just spend most of the time with him because he will be travelling a lot for work this month and won't be around. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

dpjennifer · April 2016

I have a really low-key weekend planned. I was hoping to mow my grass and work in the garden, but high chances of rain and possibly snow make that seem impossible. So I will probably stay in and clean and relax and just do whatever. Hoping to get a bunch of sewing done!

Knottie1459524222 · April 2016

We have a fun and relaxing weekend planned! DH and I are running in the Aquarium run tomorrow, then going to check out some apartments (we're building a new home and have recently listed our current home). Then Sunday were headed to a baptism for a dear friends daughter. Supposed to be a nice weekend weather wise, which is a relief after this recent bout of tornadoes that blew thru our town!

Today AF started for the first time after the D&C, exactly 4 weeks later! I've never been so happy to see it in my life! Looking forward to the weeks to come

BornReady · April 2016

Happy Friday!

i am down in DC for the weekend visiting family. It is gorgeous out here which is a welcome experience. Anyways, lots of eating,
playing and walking around the city on the agenda. Also my 8 year old nephew takes break dancing classes so we are checking out some break dancing prodigies this weekend, I think this is what I'm most excited about!

enjoy everyone

shae86 · April 2016

@Knottie1458305956 yay for CD1! I'm envious. 5 weeks out from my MC, and I'm not-so-patiently waiting for AF. I look forward to getting back to normal.

@SnobunnieMel weekend trips to Ikea are the best. Your whole weekend actually sounds perfect. Enjoy your fancy date night!

This weekend is really busy for me. Everything I have planned is fun, but I always appreciate having one day to myself. When I'm busy the whole weekend, it makes me feel like I didn't get a chance to relax.

*TW - friend's pregnancy mentioned*
Tonight I'm going to a Dodgers/Angels game (go Angels!). Tomorrow DH is in a golf tournament, and I'm helping my BFF take a photo of her dogs for her pregnancy announcement. She's the only one in the world I would do this for, and I'm truly so happy for her.

Saturday night and Sunday morning I have 2 separate 30th birthday parties to attend for my girlfriends. We all turn 30 this year, so there will be many more celebrations to come. Then Sunday afternoon, I'm going to another friend's bridal shower. Lots of stuff, and I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

On another note, I've been hesitant to check Facebook today, out of fear that some idiot will post a phony, April Fool's pregnancy announcement. My hatred for this day is on a whole new level.

catiecatp · April 2016

@reneeannemm - there are some pretty spots but more often than not we just walk around our neighbourhood with its cookie cutter suburban homes...

Oh and fertile CM came today, though I predict that O won't happen until next Wednesday - so BD this weekend, which was planned anyways but still...

roper2617 · April 2016

I have no plans for this weekend as of yet.

***potential TW below re: should be pregnant right now type feelings****

I fell into some pretty bad headspace today at lunch that I can't seem to get out of. It dawned on me that I should be 7 months pregnant right now and planning/prepping for my baby shower and gearing up for my mat leave (I only intended to work until 36weeks).

Instead here I am, TTC again since December. I just feel so defeated.

I think if I make it out of bed this weekend it will be a success.

Edited for clarity

MWoodside · April 2016

This is the first weekend I won't be working in quite a while. So no big plans at all. I am excited to relax and begin the April book club book- Bel Canto. I also have a giant mound of laundry to fold that I plan to attack tonight so it's not on my mind all weekend. Boring stuff, but it's welcomed.

mylittleversailles · April 2016

@roper2617 I'm sorry you're feeling so rough. I get it. Take extra special care of yourself.

MooFish2364 · April 2016

I'm so glad it's Friday! I had a really long all day work meeting and was super excited for it to be over so that I can start my weekend! My DH has this weekend off so it will be nice to sleep in and cook breakfast together. We are having dinner with a friend tonight and another friend is having a party Saturday night so we will probably go.

Im resisting the urge to celebrate the weekend with a margarita but I don't really drink during my TWW. It makes it hard going to parties being around people who are drinking...especially since they don't know we are TTC. You never realize how annoying people can be until your the only sober one in the room!

I hope everyone is able to have a fun and relaxing weekend!

CoonMom · April 2016

I have to work tomorrow and possibly Sunday. It's inventory weekend. I don't mind; is easy work and go pay. It just sucks to lose a weekend.

I had a meltdown missing my baby this evening. It's been 4 months but seeing my coworker's bump grow is getting hard. She is three weeks father along than I should be. DH nearly lost it. It was kind of nice to see that he's still hurting too. Please don't take that the wrong way. I don't like to see anyone, especially him hurting. I just feel less alone knowing he's still sad.

BornReady · April 2016

@shae86 I was waiting for the fake announcements too, and thankfully did not see any. I hear Gwen Stefani did one on Instagram though.

a few people I follow on Instagram posted a "please be respectful and think..." Type post about posting fake announcements/tests which was nice to see.

AL_TwinCities · April 2016

@BornReady @shae86 I hear you on the fake PG announcements. My cousin did a real PG announcement on FB - she must have thought it would be funny to get people wondering if it was real or not. They even captioned it with "no joke!" Ugh.

We have my 22 month old nephew today while my brother and SIL move, and I'm going to lunch with some other TC bumpies! Tomorrow morning DH gets to drive me to the airport super early for a flight to LA, where it will be in the 70s - so looking forward to that!

DinosaurJumper · April 2016

Oh shoot, I missed tgif! Oh well, it's technically my tuesday anyways ;D

@beff12 Kudos for going to the baby shower. I know that it is hard

I didn't go to my SIL's shower either, but partially because I work weekends, but I feel like I would have tried to worm out of it anyways. Stay strong my friend. Try to keep those thoughts from wondering and focus on your brother and their moment. (Listen to me preaching what I couldn't do myself >.< ) I did a nighttime yoga video a while ago, and their was something the yoga instructor said that still sticks with me, "When a thought arises, ask yourself Do I need this right now?" I use that one a lot on my TWW, probably 50 times a day! lol Good Luck!!!

@roper2617 Those thoughts can be killer. I hope they go away, or you can push them out of your mind. Take care this weekend!

@dogmomwantinghuman I'm sorry your coworker is rubbing her bump in your face...y-you know what I mean.
It's not fair, and I hope you get your own before too long. I understand what you mean about your DH. Meltdowns are never fun, but I feel like they are sometimes necessary. Like they get everything and then some out into the open, and something are even revealed to yourself that maybe you didn't realize you felt. I hope you and DH are feeling better now though. My DH can be so quiet and distant with his emotions, so I appreciate when he gets vocal or expresses his emotions more. I know he's there too, just sometimes it's nice to not be the only one crying.
