It's cold and rainy here so I'm putting off running the unnecessary errands I had originally planned:( I did score and ergo 360 yesterday for $145 and got $50 in Target gift cards back so I'll just have to ride that high into today to make up for it;)

It's supposed to be a beautiful day here, but I'm not sure what to do! It's just DD and I, but it's pretty wet and yucky everywhere with the snow melting. I was making a mobile for the nursery, but got bored of that pretty darn quickly. Haha.
It's gorgeous here today, but so far, I'd rather sit on the sofa in my yoga pants. I have no maternity shorts so I find it hard to get out on the warm days because jeans are too hot now. I a walking space heater and only have a couple of non maternity skirts that I can wear below my belly and I"m not in a skirt mood today at all. I need to just suck it up and buy some shorts. I'll wear then at least half the summer anyway.
Compared to weather in the teens, 46 degrees feels really nice...which is just sad. We have been debating going for a walk since we got up 2 hours ago but so far have just binge-watched a lot of TV in our sweats while DH works/I do homework. We're going out a little bit later to do some more shower returns (Carter's and Baby Gap), then tonight we're going to Paint Nite with friends. We realized this morning how silly it is to bring more new stuff home when we're packing to move...but we're kind of addicted to Paint Nite (though I have to say, it was better when accompanied by a bottle of wine).
I am so jealous of you ladies that live in places with beautiful, warm weather today. Get out and enjoy it for those us that can't! While the sun is actually shining here, it is only supposed to be 40 degrees. This pregnant woman is ready to wear flip flops and dresses! After a lazy morning of cinnamon rolls and coffee, DH and I have plans to work on the nursery, clean, and cook up a yummy Sunday meal. My Sunday Fundays have definitely changed hahaha.

I've been up since 6:13am (seriously, lack of sleep due to an infant is nothing compared with lack of sleep due to an early rising toddler who actually requires interaction.) It's been really hot this weekend, so I'm planning on a trip to the cactus garden for a picnic lunch. Other than that I'm working all day - but at least from home!

OMG my eight year old got into the bed with me at 6:30 this morning and would not. shut. up. And he doesn't needs supervision or interaction. He's perfectly capable of entertaining himself safely for an hour or so while we sleep but nooooooo..... I swear lately he's acting more and more like a three year old.

We have a high of 81 today and I am in a tank top, shorts and flip flops.
We went to Home Depot to get some supplies, came home and hung out it the yard for a minute and felt like I was going to pass out. So instead of enjoying the beautiful weather, I am on the couch.
Maybe I can convince DH to take me to get some flavored shaved ice.

Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday!
Where'd you get it for that price? Is there a sale?! We registered for one but didn't get it at our family shower yesterday, so I'm probably just going to go buy one
TMI Alert: After having breakfast I felt sick and only made it to the door of our bathroom. It was like a barf blizzard. Walls, floor, sink, toilet. Gross, gross.

@bubbs119, pants are the worst.
it is the season of teasing. why? because the sun is shining, it looks warm but step outside and NOOOOOOO freezing. SO has senior pictures to shoot and Idk what I am going to do.
I've had a productive day so far running errands and getting out and about but now I'm curled up for nap time.
I found a dress for my shower next weekend that I can also wear to my bFF's rehearsal dinner in a few weeks. It's Rachel Zoe maternity and is quite possibly the comfiest thing ever.

It was at target! They had a special, but anything ergo brand and get a $30 GC, and a baby sale where if you spent over $125, you get a $20 GC. It was totally spur of the moment, but I could NOT pass up a deal like that! FX it's still going on today so you can get one!
I have been super productive today - I went to four different stores for groceries, I made cinnamon crunch muffins, and I have baked ziti in the oven. My best friend was over with her little brother earlier - DH is helping him with his senior project - and I had fun teaching her about food budgets, meal planning, and discount kitchen goods and such. She's buying a house and moving out for the first time soon, so she's on a super tight budget (like I always am!) and it's nice to finally have her be conscious of cost! We were making fun of her cousin, though - she's only registered at Williams-Sonoma and there are things like $200 waffle makers on her registry. She's also apparently dictating all kinds of things for her shower and being a real bridezilla so BFF was SUPER glad she's only invited to the wedding and not a part of it!
Oh, and she's apparently an expert in getting my child to move - she poked around my belly a few times and bam! Baby whisperer.
We've had a pretty lazy day here. We're transitioning DS to a toddler bed, so his attitude had been a bit thrown off. I've gotten one bathroom cleaned, all of DS's laundry cleaned and put away, we started painting Easter cards for grandmas and then he got bored. Now we're watching Fox and the Hound and playing hot wheels. I will probably work on the baby's mobile some after DS goes to bed.
Not as productive of a weekend as I would have liked, but I did get spring pictures of DD and a few of myself taken (I didn't realize I look that large, luckily I don't feel like it most of the time). DH and I put up the curtains and reupholstered a bench but our nursery progress still seems super slow because DH has been really lazy lately. We did get DDs big girl bed set up last night and she slept in it with minimal wake ups so that's a win.
We got a new sink yesterday!! Yay! DH finished installing it today and it looks amazing!!! We had an old porcelain one that came with the house. It was gross and I had to bleach it like once a week. Now we have a new top of the line stainless steel sink!! So excited! You know your an adult when things like that feel like Christmas!!! I felt the same way when I got my new vacuum! Lol

We made progress on the nursery this weekend! We refinished DHs old dressers, so we went to Home Depot and finally decided on the new hardware and installed that. I finished washing all the hand me downs we have gotten and organized by size, the crib sheet is washed and put on. We put together a bookshelf for the room and hung the curtains. DH was supposed to hang the prints we got, but he got distracted by the Michigan State basketball game today. I told him it's okay, I'll give him a pass since his alma mater made it to the final four!
As far as Saskatchewan springs go, it's been a good one and today was probably the nicest day so far. We played outside for a good 2 hours this afternoon after decorating Easter eggs this morning. It was just one of those really nice no plan Sundays after a relatively busy start of the weekend.
I spent the day with my parents celebrating my dads birthday. After everyone left, my mom told me that she would watch the baby full time and quit her job... This is such a blessing because most childcare doesn't accept infants, it'll save use some money even though I plan on paying her the going rate of most childcare and I know who has my baby.
My MIL did that for her first grandbaby for the first year. She wasn't paid though. I couldn't find a job out of college and it lined up with my sister having a baby so I lucked out with a full time dream job watching my nephew. They pay basically enough money to pay my student loan payments every month, slightly less than they would pay for regular day care. They get a super flexible schedule and he gets one on one in home attention. He's been my practice baby and I'm so attached! Come June I won't be watching him any more and I get choked up each Friday when I realize we're one week closer. Hope the situation with your mom is just as good as it has been for me!
I didn't do much this weekend, I need to get my butt into gear for babies arrival! & sort nursery!. I'm going shopping today for some bargain hunting as I have a 5 year old birthday party on Thursday and a lot of family that hasn't seen me in awhile.. So I want to look halfway decent. I'm thinking a nice spring/summer top with some nice maternity jeans/leggings. Budget is tight. So I'll have to be smart with money. *sigh*
