So what's the plan for the weekend?

[muscari]

Ran into this gif and just hád to post it

No real plans for the weekend yet, besides the regular weekly groceries and some housechores. I may do some shopping, I am in desperate need of some maternity clothing as my regular shirts no longer look like they're the right size, and the one under-belly maternity pants that I bought some weeks ago no longer fits and it sucks not having any real comfortable clothing!

Hah! Too cute! I have to work tonight 😭 But then we will spend the rest of the weekend house hunting as our deal with the info fell through. For the best, too many issues with it the sellers were unwilling to fix, but man it sucks to be back at square one.

I had to buy some new scrub tops for work that were a large 😐 The store I was in didn't have any maternity tops so I just bought some larges to hide the belly. They will also come in handy as it grows so I don't have to buy a ton of maternity.

I keep having crazy Vivid weird ass dreams. They keep waking me up, too. Soooo over it!!

DH is working all weekend so we don't really have plans. DS has soccer tomorrow morning and that's enough for me.

[bsouls]

We have T's third birthday party tomorrow. I should be cleaning, but I don't feel well. I'll probably go to bed by 8:30pm and then wake up at 5am stressing about cleaning.

Getting together with both set of parents to celebrate my bday and then we have a kiddo party on Sunday for MH's cousins daughter. Busy busy!

I have been so wiped from this damn cold and starting to feel so frumpy. I need to go some maternity stuff too but just don't wanna! MH bought me a couple cute dress/tunic style tops that might be cute with leggings but for some reason nothing at the moment seems flattering. Ok enough whining

[muscari]

Oh no addymac, I had missed the fact the condo fell through! I'm so sorry. Even if tis for the best cause of too many issues, it still sucks to be back at square one I hope something else pops up soonest that you two will be even more excited about. As for work attire, I've been able to hide my bump under my lab coat so far but it's starting to get uncomfortable so I think I have to size up soon too.

happyfeet9, hope you get to relax after soccer practise.

bsouls, sounds busy with cleaning and prep etc. Hope T has a blast with his bday party!

jt2378, that sounds like a busy but fun weekend, enjoy:)

muscari @xamountofwords thanks. It is a Bummer but it's better in the long run- the more we found out about some issues and the set up of the building and the HOA, the more we became uncertain and then they wouldn't fix anything - like, ANYTHING- so it was easy for us to say NOPE! 🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻 We found a new place to obsess over and are going to look at it tomorrow so fingers crossed!! 🤞🏼 It's not in the exact location we wanted but it looks amazing from the pics. At least now we have a better sense of specific questions to ask and aren't so bright eyed oooh about everything "new" or "rehabbed".

Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday! It's pouring rain over here so I'm off to bed and hopefully this weather will help me sleep - I've been a mess at sleeping lately and have been having the weirdest dreams ever that wake me up! I'm soooo over it!!

I have to grade papers from my students and work on an emergency plan I'm Co researching. Then I need to clean house and read for nursing. I also am hoping to get a craft done from my craft tote.

[jessa1228]

addymac I know that frustration all too well, we had 3 houses fall through on us before we finally got this one. FX the one you're looking at tomorrow works out!

I can't believe you guys are still in non-maternity stuff. Go get you some comfy clothes!

[jessa1228]

AFM, I worked late last night and I'm at work now until 12. H is sick so I was hoping to take DS outside for a little bit later since it's supposed to be in the 70s, but it's also supposed to storm. So we'll see. Tomorrow will be grocery shopping and laundry.

[yoshijo28]

Demolition in the nursery has begun. After removing 1 layer of wallpaper we found there is a 2nd layer. So now H has to remove the walls and put new sheetrock up. I attempted to help by pulling up staples from the floor after we ripped up the carpet. Now I have RLP from that. Oops not the best idea

[yoshijo28]

addymac we sat in attorney review for 60 days with a house that fell through. I feel for ya!

+1 to the maternity clothes. I still fit in my shirts but have been wearing maternity pants since like 10 weeks!

[addymac]

The idea of maternity clothes is incredibly overwhelming to me. I know I could just go to old navy or h&m or motherhood maternity and try stuff on but it feels like I'll just jinx myself. I've been feel that way for a few days now and now I'm trying to analyze my bump to see if it's smaller than last week and whether I should be investing money in clothes or having a full on freak out.

Also maternity clothes make it seem really real. I just keep wearing leggings at home for now. Luckily my job is scrubs so I have just been not wearing ones that are too tight and sticking with my looser options.

[bsouls]

I got through the day and T had a good time. Unfortunately, all the activity exasperated my hemorrhoid - so, I'm now miserable.

I can't believe my baby is three!

Deep cleaning. Dusting and steam cleaning all the rooms. It's so gross. I hate it. I thought we were really clean people. Ugh

I need to do this so badly! And the baseboards and walls/cabinets in the kitchen. For the amount of time I have put it off, I really should just hire someone! 😬

I feel you!
Before the pg I had a cleaning routine that worked really well but uhm lately I am already excited when I get all my laundry and basic cleaning done... I am really seriously toying with the idea to hire a biweekly cleaner to help me stay on top of things.

[muscari]

bsouls she is so cute!

Yesterday I wanted to touch up the paint in the babies room. I used the wrong wall color. It was the wrong white. It looks so bad. I should have left some drippy stars. I gotta figure out what Shade of white this is or I'm painting over the whole thing 😵

Oh no! I hope you can figure out the actual shade, and won't need to repaint the whole room.

We still have to start messing our our to-be-nursery. These past years ever since we moved in it's been our huge walk-in storage "don't need this atm and don't know where to put it" room... The walls are lined with storage cabinets that are filled to the brim with boxes and crap and what not. Pretty sure I'll have to touch up the walls as well, but that's okay - I probably will pick a different shade of paint anyway. Not looking forward to getting all that crap out of there though! A normal weekend just doesn't seem long enough to get this tackled haha. We're off for 2 weeks mid April though so I think it'll be on top of the list then. Though the first half of our time off we'll be off to a nice cottage out in the country, time to relax!

[muscari]

So my maternity clothing shopping trip yesterday was a total bust! Mum and I went to a pretty large mall a little further away from home, thinking that since it had so many different clothing stores surely we would be able to find something. Cue us surprised when we found out NONE of the stores sold maternity clothing?!!? So 3 hours later and 16 dollar in parking lighter, I returned home empty handed and close to tears, exhausted and very disappointed.

Ended up putting in 2 orders at some online places today, so hopefully I'll have some better fitting and more comfortable clothing later this week at least. But wtf clothing store chains?!? Shame we didn't know yet in October that our last IVF cycle would actually work a month later or I would have gone shopping while we were in the US lol.

Oh and I should add, mum&I did have a lovely lunch together so the whole exersize wasn't completely for nothing heh.

So much of this. I have to do a bunch of spring cleaning and decluttering before getting stuff for the twins. I thought we kept a clean place but it's overwhelming me already.

[cnbpa3027]

muscari I don't know exactly where you are, but some of my favorite maternity finds have been from Amazon!
