This is a post I like to do on Sundays. I think it just adds a little positivity to the pre work week blues that hit. Plus the board is always a little slow on the weekends.
What was one fun thing you did this weekend?
What is one fun thing you are looking forward to this week?
Re: Sunday Funday
I’m soooo looking forward to my appointment tomorrow. I will be really sad if they don’t at least use the Doppler to check baby’s heartbeat. After that, I have a massage on Wednesday.
My my cousin, who will be a senior this year, came over with his girlfriend Friday evening and hung out for a few hours. I rarly get to see his teenage self so it was a treat.
Monday is free admission to the county fair for kids with a canned food item so we are going to take DD. She LOVES animals and music so I’m sure she’s going to have a blast. It will be a good end of the summer family night out.
Looking forward to getting my my hair done tomorrow!
Fun thing I am looking forward to: we are inviting my in-laws over for dinner to celebrate FIL's birthday. They don't know I'm pregnant yet. One of his gifts will be a gag gift of an adult diaper but underneath it will be a baby diaper to help us make the announcement.
Getting my hair cut tomorrow. Ultrasound Tuesday morning!
Also, I went to buy buy baby to browse strollers (really concerned about finding a jogger that will fit in our car, so I'm starting the search early), and came home with a diaper bag and a couple super cute onesies that were on sale! Couldn't help myself
This week, I'm meeting up with some of my girlfriends for the first time in forever. We usually meet up weekly for wine and Bachelor/Bachelorette viewing, but have all been busy and haven't been able to meet up for a long time, which is really the only way I've been able to keep the LO a secret from them for this long! So, I imagine they will be the next to know
What is one fun thing you are looking forward to this week? - Two more: Another Dr. appointment tomorrow, and having a friend spend the night at our new house tuesday into wednesday... one of our first overnight guests!
This week I am looking forward to getting back on track working out. This first trimester has been tough, and now at almost 11 weeks I am starting to feel better and get some energy back. I had a couple good runs this weekend and looking forward to getting back into my regular running routine.
This week I'm looking forward to (but super nervous for) my first OB appointment and dating ultrasound on Friday!
this week we have both mom & m-i-l’s birthdays!
Got together with my college roommates for our 10th summer! Lots of laughter and relaxation.
Looking forward to, hopefully, a nap this week!!!
This week im looking forward to getting back on track with working out. It’s been a loooooong time...
Next sat is my 36th birthday, so I get to have tea and little cakes and play boardgames. Super similar to my 6th birthday lol.
I’m excited for my 7y/o daughter to go to a two week long theater workshop starting this week. Our small town has a really big theater program for adults and youth that she’s super excited to be a part of.
Went to a baby shower for my boss. Then went "baby window shopping" with hubby for fun.

We spent some time at home as I wasn’t feeling very well. We eventually made it out of the house and went to Chipotle Saturday evening my mom met us there and then we all went to Kohl’s. Sunday we went to my moms for a cookout she announced the pregnancy in the prayer everyone was pleasantly surprised! It was fun to share the news.
I started back back to work on Wednesday but the rest of the staff starts today. I’m oddly excited to get back into a rhythm and to see the students.
Braved the rain with my toddler and went to our local peach festival. Picked donut peaches and got in a tractor ride before it was a complete downpour. Apple cider donuts finished off the afternoon.
For some Mom time, went out sat with my friend to see The Meg and also... OLIVE GARDEN! (Count me in ladies!) Lol. Had the shrimp and scallop fettuccine with broccoli. UM... YUM. And of course the breadsticks, dipped in a separate side of fettuccine sauce.

I was looking forward to the ultrasound I had today. It was as awesome as I was hoping... so, YAY! Heading up to a spa at the end of the week for a facial so I’m pretty pumped for that as well!
