DH & I are at a marriage refresh/retreat in the mountains with our motorcycle ministry. We went to a dinner theater last night. FIL is at our house with DS.
Right now, I'm waiting on my husband to fix breakfast . Something tells me the poor guy needs help hahaha.
Well, due to the spotting I've had, we decided to take it easy this weekend instead of heading out of town. Today is supposed to be gorgeous with highs in the 70s, so we plan to open the windows and work on the nursery, maybe fit in having lunch outside somewhere.
No plans yet tomorrow! After this weekend, we have full weekends until mid- May. We are trying to enjoy these lazy weekend mornings and last weekends with just the two of us ( 3 counting Kitty who really needs TLC lately). I feel like I need an oxygen mask every time I think about how close we are all getting to the end!!
Cleaning while DH is at work this morning, then hopefully he and I will get to put together/organize our bookcase that finally came in for the nursery.
I am hoping that we can go grocery shopping tomorrow, and that I will be motivated to cook a nice meal. Other than that, I think we are going to take advantage of the rainy weather and just stay in and enjoy spending some quality time together. The next few weeks are full of big events, out of town visitors and separate trips, so we're just trying to soak up as much "us" time as possible
ETA: "cleaning" so far has involved me pushing the start button on the roomba vacuum and catching up on the posts that I've missed while snuggling with my cats. Haha oops!
Getting a couples massage this AM then off for a day of visiting friends! We're also doing a lot of packing for our move on the 30th and taking trips to my parents' house with stuff to store.
I painted my toe nails and figured if that's all I do this weekend it is a big accomplishment! We are going to dinner tonight with friends. Probably cleaning and grocery shopping tomorrow. We were going to go pick up our crib but DH has to pick up his mom who is coming home from vacation.

Going to get a dresser out of storage for the nursery. Then going fishing, first day of trout! Hopefully SO and I can get all the baby clothes organized and put away tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow night going to my parents house for dinner. My sister and BIL will be there so hopefully it will be fun!
Cleaning up the house before my parents get here (they wouldn't care about the mess or judge but I don't like people to see my beautiful house when it's messy). Then my parents are arriving and bringing us money to help pay for our deck (we don't actually need the money but my parents give a lot of financial help to my kid sister so they always try to be fair even though we tell them it's not necessary) and my dad is a gas fitter so he is going to install my new BBQ!!!!
Then we're going to go to the greenhouse and the rest of the weekend I'm just going to be working around the house and catching up on stuff.
It has finally hit DH that this baby will be here soon so we need to get the nursery together. Yay! I've been waiting patiently for this revelation. Last night we went through and itemized everything we've been given for LO. We made a pile for returns and sorted everything else, broke down all boxes etc. Today DH said he's going to clear everything out of the room (was formerly our office) and put all items in either the new office space or garage. Tomorrow we are trying out a new church (I'm Catholic and DH was raised Presbyterian so we are trying to figure out what we are going to raise this LO as before he arrives. Then I'm hoping for a lazy Sunday around the house.
My Daddy is coming today!! He has his 50th high school reunion this evening, and it's like 30 min away from us. So he's spending the day here and coming back after the festivities. We are supposed to put together the crib, stroller, and infant seat today!! I'm excited he's going to come help and be involved. He is paranoid about "overstepping boundaries" because my cousin can be a nut-job and didn't allow her father to be involved with his grand baby at all. Well, at least without an appointment made a month ahead of time.
txngrl31 yep! That's the church my in laws go to now and is where we are going tomorrow. I think that's where we will end up but are trying to make an informed decision. DH isn't particularly into organized religion at all but knows it is important to me to have our LO baptized and raised to have an understanding of it all so he's rolling with it.
@jemomma I feel your pain! We are listing our house in the next month or so, and I can't even begin to imagine what fun it will be to try to keep it clean with a 2 year old and 2 dogs (and a newborn eventually). FX that your house sells quickly!
We're going to a one-year old's birthday party today and a 30 year old's birthday brunch tomorrow. I'm sad that I won't be able to have the delicious cold pressed juices tomorrow, but two days of cake? Alright!
Also, it's supposed to be near 80 today. I have on a sundress and sandals and I am LOVING it.
Lunch plans with my college best bud, and DH is going to battle today with the fleas too... Hopefully tomorrow we can relax - the weather is great here, it'll be nice to enjoy it and relax since our next few weeks are packed and then kiddo arrives. Scary to think we will be 3 instead of 2!
It's my friend's 30th surprise birthday party today. 6 of us girls are going out for manis or pedis this afternoon, have a pre supper coffee and hangout time, then meet up with our SOs at a nice restaurant for supper, then we have a bunch of friends who are going to be waiting at a karaoke bar after to surprise her again! She doesn't know about any of this so that's fun, plus just the whole friend's hangout day is going to be awesome!
Planned to have a nice relaxing day, but was up all night with weird vomiting, cramping and back pain. I'm feeling a bit better, but it kind of scared me so I'm trying to rest while my mom is watching DD. I feel badly because she was supposed to participate in a heart walk today and didn't go because she was concerned about leaving me here alone. It's a beautiful day outside so I did sit outside some and hope to again in a bit. DD is loving it!
@jemomma, Thanks girl! It's not a spotting per say, just some TMI stuff for this thread. It's still happening, but after two phone calls to the dr, I'm just going to trust them that everything sounds normal.

I was raised Southern Baptist and my husband was raised Southern Methodist, but when we moved to Boston, we started attending Episcopalian churches. We love the organized masses, music and rituals, but yet it still has a Protestant touch to it.
DH & I are at a marriage refresh/retreat in the mountains with our motorcycle ministry. We went to a dinner theater last night. FIL is at our house with DS.
Mountain retreat with a motorcycle ministry? That sounds fucking rad.
@ktpatter, Have y'all tried Episcopalian? They call it "Catholic- lite. "
My husband went to a Lutheran church in occasion growing up. He also referred to it as "Catholic-lite." Lol
DH was raised Lutheran, and we got married at his family church and DD was baptized there. "Catholic-lite" is a good description in my book, except there are a few types of Lutheran and the more traditional ones are more similar to Catholic Church. IMHO
What I want to do: go to the grocery store, finish painting the ceiling trim in the nursery, hang up the pictures and shelf, go get blinds and a curtain rod and put them up, put up the wall decal, do laundry, and take DS to his playdate tomorrow afternoon after he comes home from his dad's.
What will probably happen: Send DH to the grocery store, sit in the nursery in the rocking chair and imagine what it will look like when it's all finished, wash one small load of laundry so I have clean underwear, sleep a lot, take DS to his playdate.
And I am ridiculously glad that the snow/rain caused DS's soccer game to be cancelled today because being at the field by 9 am would have made me cry, but I go to all his games, even when it's his dad's weekend.
ETA: Oh shit, I just remembered I have a girls night in with a bunch of ladies from my local board tonight too. I have to pick up and take a dessert. Stupid pregnancy brain!
What I want to do today is get the bottles out and run them through the dishwasher along with my pump parts, wipe down the car seat and put the cover back on it, sweep the floor and vacuum the carpets, clean up the extra bathoom, finish stripping and washing the used cloth diapers I bought. So far I have eaten a bowl of cereal, watched an episode of extreme couponers and sat here on my phone while DD plays.

I am totally watching extreme couponers, too! I wish I had that much dedication to saving money.
Good luck on your projects, everyone! I did manage to get most of my housework done this morning, and now I am slowly but surely putting this bookcase together because DH is still at work. It's been fun to text him pictures of my progress- I think he is impressed that I'm actually attempting the task on my own
