I'm waiting for my BFF to login to Skype for our weekly date. I always talk to her in the recliner in the baby's room. It's fun to hang out in here and imagine how it'll be when the baby's here.
Also, my dogs are enjoying the super soft baby blankets. I guess I'll have to just keep re-washing everything to get the pet hair off. The cat claimed one of the boppys. Or maybe a little pet hair will be good for him?
GOmamab15 haha I have the same problem re: cat hair. We set up our crib last week and I'm going to have to take the mattress out until I figure out a way to keep the cat out lol

I read somewhere that cats hate tinfoil. If you put some big piece in the crib the cats will start avoiding it.
Big hugs to those who have a tough Mother's Day ahead of them. I've been thinking of the ladies in this group who have lost their mom, a child, or who have had a very long journey to motherhood. This weekend can be tough and I wish you all the strength that you need.
My friend made this for me! She has a calligraphy shop on Etsy. I love it! We are officially done with the nursery also (which didn't entail much since it was pretty neutral from DS, and DS will still be sleeping in here anyways!)
I think I've hit the pregnancy wall. I just can't do things and I'm exhausted when I try.
Several people scolded me today for selecting a very spicy dish for my lunch telling me that I'm going to go into labor too early. People do realize that that's not a real thing, right?

My dog sheds like crazy. I used to do everything that I could to keep it off of DS, but I gave up when he started crawling. Now I just use the lint roller on him before we go places. It's a battle that can't be won in my house.

My organs are complaining, there is no more room! I can't imagine this guy putting on a half pound a week for 6 more weeks. And I think at this point in pregnancy it is socially acceptable to actually growl at people who question your food choices.
Lots and lots of hugs to all of those who are having a rough Mother's Day weekend.
I had such high hopes for today. My husband went to a movie with his friend (one that I had no interest in) and I was looking forward to a nap while DD napped. I was about to fall asleep and she yells for me (she had been in bed for 30 minutes so I thougght she was sleeping) and tells me she has to potty. Now there is no sign of sleep for either of us. I could take her in the stroller but honestly I want the nap more than I want her to nap!

Happy Mother's Day beautiful mamas! My favorite quote for moms of boys "and she loved a boy very, very much - even more than she loved herself." - shel Silverstein. I can't believe I will soon be the mama of two little boys. How spoiled will I be?

The Giving Tree always makes me cry now, but that is really a great quote!
Happy Mother's Day to all of my mommy and soon-to-be mommy friends!
To all of those struggling with today I'm sending hugs your way. Mother's Day for several years was difficult for me because I wanted to be a mother and was not. I also know it can be hard on people who have lost their mothers, and moms who have lost their children. It's a difficult holiday for a lot of people, and I woke up with those people on my heart. Praying for your peace of mind and spirit.

This. All of this. I couldn't have said it any better myself. All the feels today!
Hey ladies. I don't have time to catch up right now but just wanted to wish you all a happy Mother's Day! Hope you get to enjoy your day however you want.
Last night I fell asleep at 1 then my dog woke up sick at 3:30 and I never fell back asleep. So exhausted. We went to church and brunch, and now I'm getting a pedicure while DS sleeps, on the plus side. I'm a little less grumpy when it's my child that causes me to not sleep....but my dog? I just can't.
Oh and I also got teary in church today. The pastor made all the Moms stand up and basically praised them and prayed over them. However, the reason I was teary was not because I was touched and honored, but because I was sad and had hurt feelings for all the women out their struggling with the loss of a Mom, infertility, and/or pregnancy/child loss.
shoogars no fun! I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Hopefully you got to relax.
I was getting into my car at Costco and this lady yells "my goodness. You're about to have a baby!" Really lady? How about happy Mother's Day or just keep your mouth quiet. Dh was with me and couldn't understand why she would bother saying anything.

I totally had two older ladies laugh at me yesterday when I had to stop and take a few breaths after getting DS into his car seat. I was already irritated by some other stuff so I just stared at them and said "Yeah, I'm struggling. Hilarious." Not my most gracious moment!
I'm just getting a chance to sit down and catch up. We spent all of yesterday moving furniture (well, DH and some friends did - I supervised and ordered some pizza for them) and then ran a bunch of errands today, including a relaxing pedicure for me! We have a whole new living room set and it's so much more comfortable, which is going to be awesome when this little guy arrives!!
My parents got me flowers and my mom bought me a little gift. Now I feel guilty that all I did for her was make the dinner reservations! As I was walking out some older man said, "Did you eat for two?" and I said, "I make it a rule to eat for two whether I'm pregnant or not." Then my aunt starts laughing when I went to give her a hug goodbye and says, "Wow, you are just massive!" Sigh. She isn't known for her social skills. Six more weeks of this!
I was lurking on M16 and I saw their birth annoucement thread. I went ahead and started one for us seeing as some of our June babies will/may be making their appearance this month.

I felt exactly the same way yesterday when they did this at my church.
