I'm excited for the weekend! Today we are just cleaning and will be around the house. We bought a rowing machine we need to set up too. Hopefully we actually use it lol. Tomorrow we will be with my in-laws and Monday we will be with my family. We are taking my daughter to her first parade and I am so excited. She is gonna flip for the fire trucks. Hopefully I can keep quiet about being pregnant. I really don't want to tell so early.
@kgg2241 we moved during Covid (and while I was pregnant) so we are STILL organizing crap, including the poor rowing machine currently covered in outgrown baby clothes. 😬 Maybe your comment will inspire me to bug DH about it. Maybe. And yay for parades! How fun!
We’re headed to my parents today and we will tell them about the pregnancy. It’s early but I know I’d want their support no matter the outcome. So it’ll be great to give them the news. Second beta was this morning and I’m trying to accept that odds are good I’ll hear nothing until Tuesday. Damn July 4th!
@kgg2241 @rachelredhead Apparently we all have rowers! I got a new concept 2 a month ago.
We are trying to build out a gym in our basement. Currently we put down gym flooring and have a rower and cybex. We placed an order for a rogue power rack, Olympic bars and bumper plates. The shipment tracking has been one town away since the 21st. I am impatiently waiting on delivery to get it all setup.
I guess I’m the only one without a rowing machine… lol. Maybe you ladies are on to something and I’m behind the 8 ball. I’m not crazy into working out though. We go for walks and I’ve been doing a squat challenge with my sister. Are squats ok to do while (newly) pregnant???
This weekend (well and for the past week) we’re at my family’s cabin/land with our camper. It’s been a really great week! My dad does an amateur firework show on the 4th and we have a small family party. We’ve basically been with family all week and having found out while we were here, it’s been very difficult to keep quiet! Especially when in mid conversation and I get hit by a wave of nausea. Or like why am I only drinking water and ginger ale….. But my boys are having an absolute blast here for an extended period and have been sleeping SOO good at night!!
@Sarah0335 oh nice! I wish we had done a Concept 2. I didn't really do any research and fell victim to Instagram ad. Then I did research after we bought it and realized it probably isn't gonna be the best. Oh well!
@rachelredhead have fun at your parents and have extra fun sharing the news!
@paytonpedro I am pretty sure squats are fine. I did personal training all through my first pregnancy and that was a lot of what I did. The cabin sounds fun! What a fun way to spend the 4th of July!
@rachelredhead we’re going to tell my husband’s family about the pregnancy tomorrow too! My thought is that if this pregnancy goes perfectly smoothly then I want everyone to celebrate and it enjoy it every possibly second. If something goes wrong then I want all our closest people there to support us through it. So we’ve been telling our closest family and friends even though I’m only 5 weeks.
Hey!! Today was a full day, I'm exhausted. We visited our hometown for the Independence Day celebration. Kids loved the parade, and filled a big bag with candy (which I am currently taking my share of ). Finally back home now, 2 kids are sleeping, one to go before I'm off to bed.
@smoresdoeuvres sounds like a great day. I bet everyone slept well last night!
We have awful weather this year for the 4th. We were supposed to do a pool party at my MILs, but shifted to an inside party at our house. We love hosting and really designed our house for it. I’m looking forward to having friends over.
I hope everyone is having a great holiday with friends or family!!
