Still no weekend thread?

What's everyone been up to??

My girls were with their grandparents until the afternoon yesterday, so FI and I went out to breakfast. After they came home and took a nap, FI took them to the park while I worked on some homework. Today we're going to all go see Pete's Dragon at the cheap theater. It's only $1.99 for matinees! We haven't taken either of the girls to a movie at a theater yet, so I figured this would be the way to go. After that, it's more homework for me! I want to get my final project done a couple days early in case I go into labor, so that only leaves me with about 6 more days to work on it. Then I have a proctored final exam for my other class on the 19th, so lots of studying to do!

We are buried in Nutcracker this weekend. The older girls had 2 performances Friday, 1 Saturday, and another today. So that's basically sucked up our entire weekend.

Hi ladies! Quiet weekend here since MH is at work. I did take both babies to Kohls this morning!

Also, my Moby wrap arrived today so I've been practicing my baby wearing.

I've just been moping around this weekend trying to nurse this stupid shoulder injury. I think it feels a bit better today, but I still need help getting dressed and putting my hair in a pony tail. Also sleeping is the worst. I think my parents are going to bring their recliner over so I can sleep in that. And the cherry on top.....I just ate lunch and then promptly threw it all up. I'm really hoping that it's a sign of labor and not the flu! anyone get this before labor?? I feel better but still kinda weird.

You are having a rough weekend. Big hugs!

[requiressnacks]

lbonga1, I can't believe you have finals to worry about. The worst.

Not doing much this weekend. I had acupuncture yesterday and we went out for dinner. It was probably the last time we do that for a while, it was so crowded and hot, I felt pretty miserable afterwards. Today we're just resting and finishing some nursery organization then headed to the grocery store. I keep feeling like I'm getting sick, I've had a weird cough off and on for the last few days and DH says I feel warm. Uggh, now is not the time to get sick!!

Hey ladies! Pretty good weekend so far. We checked some things off the list and I've been content to just hang around the house (not normal for me, lol).

We set up our automatic rock and play and quickly decided that it will be a last resort. That things was so loud, I'm pretty sure I could never sleep anywhere near it! Up for a rude awakening over here...

It's also snowing and since we have no where to go, I'm perfectly content just watching it come down 🙂

I love the auto rock & play! It drowns out all the random noises that my babies make. I was shocked at how much grunting the littles do.

@kcnumbers hope your shoulder feels better!

Winnifred both girls slept in the rock and play when they were little, however I've never plugged it in and had it rock or play music

requiressnacks holy shit! You are awesome!!!! I still haven't ventured out with both girls by myself... I'm too scared, plus... where do you put them??? Our kohls here doesn't have normal carts even.

I rolled in with my double frame stroller. They were in the infant seats. Since the stroller is not side by side (I'm blanking on what that's called), it actually fit in the aisles. DS started fussing and I panicked for a minute, but once I gave him the pacifier we were all good!

Ahhh yeah the stroller! Either way, good job momma! We were at Cabelas once when G was really little and she started screaming, and I mean SCREAMING....... everyone was staring and I had no idea what to do. I tried to calm her and she just kept whailing so I ran out to the car with her, and then she was perfectly fine. Little shit!

Haha! Isn't that always the way?!

I was planning my potential escape route in case I had to make a hasty exit.

So cute! You're a good sport.

Nothing too crazy here. Lazy Friday night and Saturday morning. Saturday night we had plans that went WAY too late. I almost fell running back to the car to avoid the rain, which was a stupid thing to do. Couldn't sleep in this morning, so I went to brunch. Best part of the day was an afternoon nap, followed by takeout and a movie.

Busy week ahead with lots of plans I'd like to make, so of course that means this baby will probably come early to spoil them all. 😂

Thanks, he just wants to lick her constantly. We're trying to stop that but she smiles and doesn't seem to mind.

[requiressnacks]

So cute catherineoctober! I have a yellow lab too.

[Winnifred]

mrsp121308, since I'm hoping I can keep it together with one baby - you are serious parenting goals to me, lady! Everyone looks so cute!

lola, brunch + lounging + takeout for dinner sounds like an amazing day to me!! Well, any day with brunch is the BEST.

catherineoctober, so sweet!!!

requiressnacks, ha ha - maybe we'll get there one day! We had it running for a few minutes and finally turned it off - and we both just looked at each other with pained expressions on our faces, ears ringing... We are SO not used to noises like that and our house is usually pretty quiet. P.S. That's amazing that you're already taking the littles out on your own, nice work, momma!

[mrsp121308]

Winnifred, it gets easier each time and with the big age gap my older girls help a lot so it helps me get us out of the house.

How much do your babies weigh now? Are you going to tandem with the moby?

I'm having such a hard time deciding what type of carrier I want to start with!

I'm guessing they are 6 and 7 lbs. My 7 pounder does way better in it, but I think that's because DS is too small for it. I really like the Moby for tandem and I think we will use it more when they are just a tad bigger.
