Where did this weekend go?

[cetcar]

How was your weekend? Anyone else have a busy and fast one? Or was it slow and relaxing?

[rosesquared]

Definitely not relaxing lol minus a tiny nap yesterday! But we got a ton of registry stuff done, went to a cloth diaper workshop, AND finally interviewed a doula who is perfect for us! So it was a very productive "get ready for baby" weekend. And yes, where DID the weekend go?!

Not relaxing over here either. Between having a more mobile and opinionated almost 12 month old (which is crazy btw), prepping food for the week and making dinner, rechalking and painting our huge front windows, M's swimming lesson, cleaning, and running errands, I feel like we never sat down today. Yesterday was equally as busy. Wishing CET's company observed MLK Day. A three day weekend would be glorious.

rosesquared how exciting! I'm very interested in a doula and should probably get on that.

cetcar I can't believe you almost have a 1 year old! Are you doing a big party?

I spent all day Saturday vomiting and sleeping so J took me to urgent care today and I got some Zofran. I almost am human again. But I feel like I didn't have a weekend at all. Puppy comes home Friday so I have a busy week ahead getting ready for that.

JustJudy, Ugh, throwing up is the worst. I'm such a pansy about it. Glad you're feeling almost human again. Let's hope it continues throughout the week.

I'm in denial that she's almost one. My parents, sister, and brother in law are coming out this weekend to celebrate our birthdays on the 21st (M and I share a birthday). Then we may have a small party the following weekend but have done almost nothing in terms of planning it besides seeing who is around (turns out about half our friends we were thinking of inviting aren't free). So, yeah....we'll see if we get it together. I think it would be nice to celebrate her first year with friends but we have to find the time to actually plan it.

Have you started thinking about names yet? We didn't tell anyone until after M was born but everyone always asked us. Even sales people in stores.

The weekend always seems to go by faster than the other days, probably because I have more visitors.

Julie finished up the nursery. If I were home I'd change a few things - like move the chair in front of the window, and put down a nice big rug, but those can wait until we are home.

Yesterday was rough on Julie, she came to the hospital in tears just wishing that I was home to help finish stuff up, she said she's "worried about letting me down". I assured her that wasn't going to happen.

We did find out that Julie can submit her hospital parking passes which run $80/week to her FSA, so that is exciting.

cetcar We have a list of 5 names but we likely won't decide until after she's born. It's so much pressure!

Have fun celebrating your birthdays! Sorry friends are busy, it's so hard to get people together these days. Will you be doing a smash cake for M? I think that's always my favorite part of first birthdays.

[cetcar]

JustJudy, We kept trying to come up with other choices we liked as much but nothing really was as high on our list as M's name. I would say all the time that we needed to think of other names. CET and I didn't agree on a lot of names. Do you two agree?

I don't think we're going to do a formal cake smash session with a photographer but we will probably give M a cupcake or a slice of cake and see what she does. Or maybe we will get her a cake. We're procrastinating. Again, denial. Guess it's time for us to make some decisions....

It was a crazy busy weekend. Kids had 2 friends spend the night Friday night. I was woken up ridiculously early by said children because 1 had peed the bed. Went to a swim team committee meeting and then headed 2.5 hrs south with a friend to surprise another friend for her birthday. Lots of eating, sitting around, driving, and little sleep. Got home Sunday evening in time to drop a friend off at the airport and then meet neighborhood friends for dinner to celebrate one of their birthdays. Monday L and I got out of the house alone for a few hours, got a pedi, started packing for our trip, cleaning, and getting ready for the week.

We leave for vacation in 26 hours. But who is counting?
