What's everyone up to today/this weekend? DH is working (again) so C and I are going to the farmers market with my mom. I should probably attempt some cute footprint craft for the grandmas today too. Not sure how well it will turn out since he's been a mess all morning and hates painting.
H made us breakfast this morning AND did the dishes. Whoa. LO and I are going to a graduation lunch for my mentee while H does his university's graduation and later we're all going to a volunteer fire company festival. Fun!
L finally seems to be teething. Only to make up for lost time, as far as I can tell she has six teeth coming through. Poor baby.
My mum was meant to be babysitting this evening so that I could go to the concert H is playing in. But she's had to pull out because her back hurts. I didn't realise how much I was looking forward to it.
H went out at 2.15 today and won't be back till about ten. Tomorrow he's got a rehearsal from one till 4.30 and then he's leading a church service from five till eight thirty. All these things were arranged months ago and although this weekend looked full, at least I had a rare evening off. And I wasn't pregnant so it didn't look quite so exhausting.
Never mind! I'm sorry that my mum's in pain, and so is poor little L from her teeth, so I just need to gird my loins and get on with it :-)

@jemomma sorry you're having a rough time with the sale.
We are in the car on our way up to our lake house. Super pumped to relax up there! Not much here other than that. Hope everyone has a great Mother's Day weekend!!! You're all fabulous moms!!
Nothing exciting here today. Picked up my car, had ST, going grocery shopping after O wakes up from his nap. O finally rolled over in his sleep last night and was very angry to realize he was on his belly. We need to drop the crib the rest of the way now that he moves all over. And we had to take his arms out of the swaddle. It's strange to be dealing with the things you all have been talking about for months. H and I were talking about mothers day and he said he had had ideas of what to get me but hadn't done anything yet. Maybe he's bluffing? But I'll just set super low expectations and try not to be disappointed which feels silly because I always thought it was an extra unneeded holiday.

Nothing exciting here except some outside play. @imapenguin Have a great trip! erbear I dreamt I came to your wedding last night. I brought my DD to meet yours (you were getting married in present time), but you didn't bring your kid haha. Also, I needed to pump (?? maybe I had too much to drink to nurse?), and you directed me to a room where my creepy male coworker was sleeping. All sorts of weird!

Just finished the hardest 10k I have ever run. Probably a good idea I didn't drink the wine DH poured me last night.
Waiting for a shuttle, then we're meeting with DH's friend at LBB's last baseball game of the season. Then a birthday party. Then going out to dinner with another one of DH's friends.
Tomorrow is a 5k, kids race, brunch, and strawberry picking.
I was double checking my packing and making sure I hadn't forgotten anything and I had forgotten something. Bottles. Formula. Anything to feed the baby with.

Luckily you can pick up all of those things on the road/ in Florida.

Viv doesn't like it either. I did her footprint while she was in her highchair eating and distracted. Worked great for us! GL!
LO is tantruming all over today, so I let her hold the old iPhone we use as her sound machine while I changed her. H said he found it with her in her crib somehow this morning and I looked at the photos...she took a 1.5 minute long video of herself talking. It's blacked out, but omg. Idk how she even managed that!
I have nothing going on this weekend. B has had a fever for the last 2 days so we share hanging out at home getting some rest. DH is working in the field all weekend so I won't be able to get a break and I doubt he has anything planned for Mother's Day.

We leave in two weeks for a week vacation and I'm already paranoid I'm going to forget something. I used to be so great at packing when it was just H and I, but now I feel like my checklist is... Our entire house.
We met with our real estate agent, and are officially t-about two weeks to list the house. I still don't 100% believe we're moving. The good news is we have most de-cluttering done, got the outside taken care of today, laundry is done, pasta salad is set for dinner, and I've got a haircut in about an hour. Happy Saturday indeed!

Hi! Have I mentioned lately how tired I am? I just typed and then deleted my first sentence because yeah, shut up about the tiredness. I am non-functional! Tomorrow we will have LO christened at SOs grandmas church, as per SOs grandmas desires and family tradition so Ive been running around all week getting everything together for that (3 outfits for her, an outfit for me, etc) its at the end of a 2.5 hour church service which I can only imagine will the adventure of my very loud energetic screamer in a 2.5 hour church service HAHA and then she will be christened amongst a group of 3 month old infants! Then we will have Mother's Day Dinner/chritening party with the entire family at his aunts house. Guys, I don't know how much more of a party pooper I could sound like but all I wanted for Mother's Day was a moment to chill out lol! I'm sure I'll enjoy it once it's all happening though.
I did make this crazy adorable headband this afternoon to go with her church dress. So I guess I have some hidden enthusiasm in me somewhere... poof!

Thanks @erbear! I'm really trying to give myself an attitude adjustment here.. tomorrow is for Great Grandma as far as I'm concerned.. and she's the ultimate Mom! So if we can make her super delighted by seeing her littlest great grand christened on Mother's Day then it's extra special for her.
I just might ask SO for a redo for myself next weekend lol

I spent 5 glorious hours wandering about by myself. Then came home and unloaded the groceries while J climbed all over my legs. We just got back from a family bike ride and dinner and J passed out in like 5 minutes. Watching traffic is apparently exhausting.

DH got me flowers from a guy on the street corner on his way home, stating that he wouldn't have time tomorrow so "here you go". They're mostly carnations. I mixed them into the bouquet I bought earlier this week for the dining room.... Also he had a shot day at work, came home and napped for two hours, and will obviously be up all night. He said he'll get up in the morning so I can sleep on Mother's Day, but honestly I'm not sure if it's worth it to then have him tired and crabby all day.
tiffbot how are you doing? How's the smoke in your area?
Hey!!
It went down significantly today. The wind must have changed again. Which is nice. I saw the air quality statements came out yesterday but looks like they removed them already. Still no rain here ourselves, so currently under mandatory fire bans.

The friend we had dinner with tonight is one of DH's best friends. We usually see her once a year when we visit DH's family at Christmas, which we didn't do this year. Her son is a year younger than LBB, and before dinner LBB didn't remember him at all. Once we got to the restaurant, the two of them were like peanut butter and jelly, playing together and chatting.
When we got home, DH told LBB that it made him really happy to see them playing so nicely together.
