2. We're going out with friends for dinner - their baby is due a month after ours.
3. I'm treating myself to Starbucks before I get to work.
4. DH scrubbed the bathroom floor on his hands and knees last night and asked for a cleaning list for today. He's stepping up!
5. Our move is really coming together and I think we'll be done packing this weekend.
Hope you all have a great day!

2. I got my coffee before I logged into work instead of after
3. My son actually ate his banana this morning instead of recreationally peeling it and then leaving it on the counter
4. I am going to make the payment to hold daycare for spots for both my inside and outside kids today, what a relief!
5. Dinner tonight it going to be leftovers so I don't have to cook

2. @WombThereItIs 's #3: "My son actually ate his banana this morning instead of recreationally peeling it and then leaving it on the counter". That made me smile and get excited again for this LO.
3. We've almost finished unboxing/setting up the rest of the baby stuff from our showers.
4. Thursday is generally our night to eat out, so I don't have to come up with something to cook.
5. After this week, I only have 2 more weeks of work!
2. It has been over 60 degrees all week, including a couple really warm days, so I finally got to bust out my maternity shorts and dresses.
3. My kid pooped in the potty for the first time!
4. Preschool is closed 1.5 weeks for Passover, so my husband took time off work to help out around here. My massive to-do list is finally getting shorter.
5. My new stroller arrives today!
2. DH is fixing my lawn mower so I should be able to cut the grass tonight. (It's my zen chore and I'm hoping to get a few passes in before I have to hand it over to DH for the summer)
3. DD is spending the day with my mom and nieces which she has been looking forward to all week.
4. We get to see and hear our baby beluga again tomorrow.
5. My package of dresses from Motherhood should arrive today.
2. We're meeting a friend for lunch, and I'm so ready for a taco I can't put it into words.
3. Easter Bunny pics - guaranteed to either be adorably sweet or adorably petrified!
4. Chiropractor visit to help my poor old lady body
5. Nap time (for both me and DS!)

Baby 2 - Due: 5/4/17
2. H cleaned up after dinner, too!
3. We went to Culver's to get the flavor of the day, s'mores! One of my favorites!
4. H called the cable company and we got the tv's working again and he was able to get $30 off of the install fee that we shouldn't be paying for (that's all the guy was able to do last night, but told us to call or email during business hours for the rest).
5. We have our 2nd Lamaze class tonight and we have to bring pillows! Guessing we are going to be learning some techniques, which I'm excited about! The guided imagery we did last week is just not my thing.
Wow all about H today! He makes me happy all of the time, but when he does things like this it makes me even more happy.
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." ~Charlie Chaplin
1. This weekend is my 30th birthday! My BFF sent 30 adorable balloons to my office, and H and I are going on a small getaway this weekend--great food and perhaps even a couples massage are in store!
2. Even if I end up getting sick and we can't go, I would be perfectly happy having a lazy three-day weekend with H. He's one of those people that make you feel better/happier just by being around them.
3. I get to have a phone date with my BFF today!
4. I was really worried about some data issues on my dissertation after a meeting on Monday, but now I don't think it's going to be as terrible as I had expected.
5. Black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream (enough said).
2. I get to schedule my c-section tomorrow.
3. Tried on my dress for my shower this weekend and I still love it. (purchased 6 months ago)
4. H remembered to run an errand for me this morning.
5. Am enjoying a relaxing morning and feeling good in general.
1. I slept through the whole night!
2. I get to finally get some small projects done while DS in school today.
3. DS is spending the weekend at his cousin's. We'll pick him up on Sunday when we go over for Easter dinner. That means more time to get stuff done and even relax!
4. Book club tonight! It's basically my night out with the girls for the month.
5. Went to Target and got to complete my registry (at least the in-store part one). I love that place.

Baby 2 - Due: 5/4/17
2. I'm drinking a mcdonalds diet coke.
3. Tomorrow I'm having a little mommy & me photo session with ds. All I want is one precious picture displaying my bump and my love for my DS. I'm so sentimental when it comes to my babies!
4. I'm going into work late and I may or may not leave at my usual 4pm.
5. I'm excited to scatter Easter eggs in the yard for ds this weekend!
It's nice to complain but also fun to hear about the good stuff going on with everyone. Good thread @kns1988, id be shocked if I saw my husband scrubbing floors on his hands and knees! His mom would come over and do it for him before that would ever happen at my house.
1. I'm getting to watch my sister's DNP (doctoral) presentation and I wasn't able to before because I worked but I'm only doing 8 hours instead of 12 today.
2. I'm going away tomorrow with my sister. That means today I get to pack and I love packing.
3.It's a beautiful sunshiney day.
4. DH and I are both very excited for this baby to come and it's nice to hear him talk about it.
5. We have Easter brunch plans and I've already decided to let it be a throwaway gestational diabetes meal so I'm really looking forward to eating something other than eggs!
2. Tomorrow is Friday.
3. My midwife appointment is today.
4. My husband is enjoying his new job.
5. I get to see my best friend later, since I'm babysitting for her this evening.
@slowmo congratulations on the toilet training for your littlest one.
@christinawild I love going to the chiropractor. It's so helpful with the extra pressure in places.
1. Being home instead of the hospital.
2. My mom. Who watched the boys while I was gone for that week.
3. My husband who is being amazing and at my side constantly. I can't even get him to go back to work. He's insisting on working from home.
4. Friends. Honestly when we moved here a few years ago I didn't have more than one mom friend and she didn't even love locally. Now I feel so blessed to have made so many great friends and have so much support.
5. Home cooked food. Seven days of hospital food and takeout not only made me gain weight but just made me feel like I was stuffing my feelings with junk. It's nice to come home and eat normally again.
2. Seymour (lawn roomba) is mowing in the pouring rain outside.
3. It's Thursday and DH and I have this weekend and next to ourselves to do what we want. We have lots of date ideas and will see where the day takes us. We were told do spontaneous things as after baby we won't get to anymore.
4. We finished our birthing class and infant cpr last night and Tuesday which are big milestones as that means baby will be here soon
5. Got a weird bill from radiology; called the insurance company asking about it and they will pay so I saved $300
2) my friend visited last night for dinner and brought a gorgeous flower bouquet of very unique flowers and it really filled the space with life
3) I have leftover donuts from yesterday that I am about to crush
4) my favorite nurses are back today! Hooray!
5) one day closer to C-Day!
2. They announced yesterday that hourly care for post is only temporarily suspended and should be available again sooner than expected. Huge relief!
3. We have a work dinner for DH tonight, which would usually be something I'm not excited about but I'm going to focus on the fact that I don't have to cook dinner!
4. Last hair appointment before baby is scheduled for tomorrow!
5. And the BEST, DD2 is potty trained! Finally!

3. The weather has been great this week and I can almost feel a hint of summer in the air.
4. My mom and MIL have been really helpful lately with advice and suggestions about any baby topic I ask them about.

5. I have three weeks left of work until I go on maternity leave.
2. It's now warm enough outside that we're getting rain and not snow.
ETA: I spoke too soon. It's snowing now lol. So I guess I'm thankful that my car is parked in the garage.
3. I made it back to bed this morning instead of falling asleep on the couch after being up all night. Because of that I got to cuddle with DH before he left for work this morning.
4. I'm eating leftover perogies for breakfast.
5. A big order of baby stuff is getting delivered today and I'm really excited about some of what's in there.
