DS slept like a newborn last night so I am struggling to stay awake. I definitely had a "oh shit how will I do this again with a newborn??" moment last night.
We ended up having friends over yesterday so my plan today is to hit up the consignment shops and hopefully get a bag of stuff together to donate.
I'm also worried about lack of sleep when the new baby comes lupincat. C has been getting out of bed usually once every night since she switched to a big girl bed. I'm really hoping she stops that before the baby comes.
It's just me and C today. I'm trying to decide if I want to go shopping for stuff for the baby's room or stay home and put away some laundry. Shopping would always win but I don't know if I want to put makeup. Clearly I have a very interesting and eventful life
We cleaned out the future nursery last night! We're getting an estimate on our floors today - our hardwood upstairs looks like subfloor (1" wide and an awful color) and is squeaky. My MIL is worried that the nursery's not done yet, so she took it upon herself to call someone who's done work for her in the past to come out. She's coming to prime the room this week while we're working. I don't mind one bit. I'm much more relaxed than her, as I don't need the nursery to be done before the babies come.
Good morning!! Finishing my coffee then getting ready to cook up some meatballs and chicken parm... DS is turning 2 tomorrow (how is that possible?!) so we are having family over for dinner and cake. Last year my mom persuaded us into having a huge 1st birthday party for him which is not our style, so I'm looking forward to this year just being us, grandparents, my brothers, SIL and niece and nephew. DS will be happy just to have them, he doesn't know any better about big parties! Hope you all have a relaxing Saturday!
I'm still in bed and don't want to get up but hungry. What is this about babies messing with your sleeping? I slept for almost 12 hours last night, what have I gotten myself into?

Happy Saturday! I'm enjoying my cup of coffee before dropping all 3 kids with the in-laws and going on a marriage retreat with husband (our christmas gift from in laws). I'm not sure how I feel about it but I will enjoy a full day of grown up conversations.

Have a great Saturday, everyone!
I've never actually sold anything so I have no idea how it works! Usually I just buy lol
Hi all. I've been mostly MIA this week since a stomach bug was working its way through my house. DD got it last Sunday, I caught it Tuesday and DH caught it Thursday (and his birthday was Friday so seriously the timing sucked). Everyone has recovered from that but now DD has a bad cough and sounds raspy so I think we have to take her to the doctor today. I cannot wait for spring, it feels like the sickness never ends around here!

Good Morning, ladies! It's cool here today so we're going to try to get out and enjoy the weather. Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler but rainy so it will be an inside kind of day. Hopefully we'll be able to make a dent in the nursery. DD has a birthday party to go to later this afternoon so MH will probably take her there and I'll do some cleaning and grocery shopping.

Good morning! Not sure what's on the plan today. We have a date night tonight, but we probably aren't doing much since we went out last date night and spent more money then planned. We might just hang around the house and do some chores and then go get dessert somewhere.
I'm getting a massage in a couple of hours and DH is having lunch and hanging out with one of his friends this afternoon. I'm going to get some paint colors on my way home for the baby's dresser (it's my childhood dresser and looks outdated currently) and we're getting a hand me down changing table that is painted pink so well be painting that too. Hoping to do something fun with the colors 😀
If I feel ambitious maybe I'll clean the house later... but that's probably a stretch lol
Happy Lunar New Year! Looks like our babies will be "Trustworthy, with a strong sense of timekeeping and responsibility at work" I like this. It made me wonder what my sign is, and apparently I am a rabbit One of the recommended careers is "breeding."
It was my turn to sleep in today, but I'm just laying here. I'm starting to get hungry though so I guess I'll be getting up. Later this afternoon we're going to a little get together with my aunts and uncles and cousins who we don't get to see very often because we live all over the state. I'm excited to see them but don't really want to go anywhere or do anything this weekend.
My in laws are coming over today to hang out. H is taking the guys to the boat and knife show and MIL and I are going shopping. It's the end of the month so we have no money in the budget so I have to be really good. I'm already thinking well... I could spend up to this. No, self!!! Stick to the budget!!
Laundry won...for now. My plan (if I still have energy) is to clean and do laundry before nap then after C's nap head to home goods then we'll get dinner somewhere.

Hahaha and maybe you should reconsider being one and done. 😉

Everytime DS gives me a rough night (which truly is very rare) I make a mental note so that I can pay him back when he's a teenager
Morning! DH is at a board meeting today. DS is hopefully napping right now. He has dance class this afternoon and I'm really hoping we make it all the way through this week. I need to do laundry and clean but we'll see what happens.
Happy Saturday! Our 5 year old is testing the limits this morning and my 15 month old has hand, foot and mouth for the second time in two months. His rash/sores are so bad on his left leg that he's limping, plus he's not sleeping for sh*t thanks to the sores in his mouth. I've had way more coffee lately than I probably should!
I have some neighborhood ladies coming over to shop my LuLaRoe today so unfortunately I have to pick up the house, vacuum and dust and get all my clothes out since they are normally tucked away. I'm ready for a nap already!
