DH's car is getting maintenance and a fog light fixed today. I think DH is finally going to take down the Christmas lights and we need to do a grocery shop. Otherwise we're spending the weekend around home, at least it's sunny today so we'll get some outside time. I'm feeling super exhausted and drained today though and just want to sleep Zzzzz
I just spent 20 minutes wondering if it was warm enough to sit outside but being too lazy to go check the weather on my phone. Then it occurred to me that the door to the backyard was actually closer than my phone and I could just open it and find out. I swear I'm not pathetically dependent on technology. I just really hate the cold!
We are getting me ready to go for a walk. Then I am getting a pedicure with my sister, then a BBQ tonight. We really need to hit the grocery store because I start my last two weeks of intensive school on Monday.
I was supposed to be on a plane this morning heading back to school. I am a little sad to not be able to participate classically. But excited none the less to be done soon.
Soccer this morning and then I'm having a spa day with friends to celebrate one of them getting married while DH and DS have a boys day. DS will get a haircut (he loves it) and then DH was thinking about taking him to an arcade. My feet were giant last night and I'm feeling like a whale so I'm ready for this massage. I'm not sure how they do prenatal massages though since I can't really lay in my back or stomach.
I've been up with DS since 5 this morning. He has limitless energy. Our activities so far today have consisted of a 1.5 mile walk, playing catch with his football in the yard, playing with bubbles, jumping on his trampoline, jumping on the bed to wake up his dad, going out to breakfast, and him helping me vacuum and clean the couch. I'm ready for nap time, so I hope he cooperates.
Later today my parents are coming over to watch DS so DH and I can go to a hockey game! I hope I can survive until then.
Hey friends. I have been MIA this week, my BP went up again on Tuesday. I felt like crap all week. Baby looks great, but she moved up my growth scan to next week & doubled up my meds to get me back to lower levels.
MH & I have been on edge all week, I guess this bedrest and yoyoing BP situation is getting to the both of us. We had a little mini date night last night, and things felt back on track.
Tonight I may be going to a movie with a couple of girlfriends, I NEED OUT OF THIS HOUSE.
Andrea I hope you get to go to the movies! Sorry you've been feeling like crap.
I'm getting a manicure & pedicure this afternoon-first time all pregnancy and I can't wait. My shower is next weekend & I need to pick something to wear.
bighair12 I'm so sorry you can't be heading back to school with everyone, but it's so exciting that you are almost done!
Andrea I'm sorry it had been a rough week! I was just thinking about you this morning. I hope the new dosage helps you feel better. Glad the mini date helped and FX you can get out to the movies today!
sandandsea , I got my first ever massage today! They had me lay on my side and put pillows between my legs and under my stomach. Hope you enjoyed yours! I was really hoping they would have a hole so I could lay on my stomach but didn't. I miss laying on my stomach!!
I started my day off by walking to the donut shop with DS while DH fixed our lawn mower. DS usually goes with DS, so he kept asking where Daddy was and if Daddy was coming, it was so cute. It's like he was thinking, "Hey, it's Saturday, this is supposed to be my special Dad thing, I see you every morning!"
THEN I went to get a prenatal massage because a place near us does $49 for your first time. I had never had a massage before. It was pretty good, but I'm kind of weird about people touching me, so I'm not sure if I would do it again. My back still hurts a ton because then I helped my friend at this Etsy shop show in Dallas and stood up the rest of the day. Now I'm cooking because DH's family is coming over for dinner, so it's been a busy day! Just taking a few minute break to TCF and rest my feet!
So so sorry Andrea ! I hope your BP stays down and that you are able to get out with your friends today! It sounds like it's much needed!
We got our maternity pics back from my brother in law and I really like them! His first maternity session ever and he did so well! I want to post some but might wait until we start a private board if we are still going to do that since I don't feel like blocking out all of our faces in every picture!

Happy Saturday!
Had my baby shower today! It was fantastic! Minnie Mouse themed, and holy macaroni did baby girl ever get a lot of stuff! My friends and family are the bomb.com!
We flew home today. The cross country flight wasn't as tiring as flying usually is, which is good. Two sandwiches and two bags of chips cost $34 this morning. We couldn't believe it! DH travels all the time, and he has never paid that much. I'm dropping DH off to go out on our way home from the airport, so I'll go home and unpack and do laundry.
It feels so good to be able to drive on a highway and not be stuck in traffic. I don't know how people live in LA dealing with that traffic on a daily basis!

I'm sorry about your bp and all the attendant fun. This had been such a rough pregnancy for you.
woodengirl07 Glad your baby shower went great! If you have a chance, post pics!
I had such a great time getting my mani & pedi--it had been wayyyyy too long since I've been pampered. I love how my nails turned out. This pic doesn't do it justice

So they have these hike it baby groups that I've been wanting to get more involved with because I need the exercise and thought it'd be fun to meet new people. We went for our first hike with them today and of course I had the one toddler who just completely had a melt down halfway through. Ughhhh she keeps getting up earlier and earlier so I think she was just tired even though it was nowhere near normal naptime. And she spent the whole latter half of the morning in true toddler tantrum form.
Luckily she took a 3 hr nap (which never happens) and was back to her happy goofy self this evening.
Hopefully tomorrow morning goes better since we're supposed to be going to the zoo
titania I would be starstruck if my were in a band too! I hope it went well!
I'm so glad you like your maternity pictures txmommy14!
I'm so glad that you had a great baby shower woodengirl07! I would love to see pictures!
I have absolutely no advice on the toddler tantrum front since mine is completely out of control, but I can definitely commiserate packerfan4life! I hope she's in a better mood today!

packerfan4life I joined my local Hike it Baby group too. It seems like it will be fun! I've already started planning some trips with people. I'm sorry your DD had a meltdown but I'm sure that all the moms there totally understood! It's great that you took her out anyway. I hope you'll keep doing it and hopefully she'll get better with a bit of practice (and sleep!)
Andrea sorry about the BP issues. I hope the new dose of med helps and you stay comfortable!
Oh my, it IS May! Guys, I'm totally in denial about my imminent arrival...

Happy Weekend Ladies!! I've been busy with work so I've been MIA the last week as well. This is the crazy time at work because it's the last month of school and I have tons of paperwork to finish.
I'm sure many of you are starting your final countdown to baby, I know I am!!
Also it's Sunday, and we have company but everyone is still in bed and I'm loving the quiet (other than DH snoring).
I can't believe it is May and we will start having J16 babies soon! I finished writing thank you notes for my shower yesterday. That was a chore, but I am really grateful. We are going to have a well stocked nursery. I am going to try to clean out my car today. I should have done it yesterday when it was sunny. But it is supposed to rain all week and I can't put it off anymore. There is a LOT of crap in there. Beach chairs from the summer, classroom decorations from the fall, ornaments from the winter, random items of clothing...

I feel like I need to buy some stuff for this baby since so far we've gotten a 3 pack of onesies, one pj outfit, some bottle nipples and a car seat. But I'm finding it hard to think of what we actually need since I don't think there's really that much. Plus Amazon's completion discount sucks. Half the things I want - like some PP clothes for me, books, half the cloth diapers I want don't qualify.
