Went out to breakfast and bought our new TV for our bedroom (and drove all over looking for a cheap wall mount.) We will be donating our old one to the guest room, so it's sort of a baby purchase. Excited to have a smart TV so we can netflix in bed!
Now DH is installing it, I'm cleaning but I needed a break bc my feet hurt. Tomorrow he will paint the guest room and I will do grocerying/laundry. Also, my MIL just wrote me a check for the theoretical cost of the last- minute baby shower I declined, so I will be going h.a.m. on Amazon!
Busy weekend again! This morning we took the "save a baby" class at the hospital. It was a little disappointing as DH and I both have more extensive CPR training than what was provided and that was all that was really covered. Now the in-laws are here working on the nursery again. It may finally be finished today since they're finishing the crown moulding and hanging the base boards. Tomorrow morning we have our membership class at church and maternity pictures in the evening. I'm thinking we'll need to reschedule them again though, since it's supposed to storm all day.
I'm pooched. Today we're having my dad and his girlfriend over for his birthday dinner. So I've already baked a cake, went and got groceries, made lunch and iced the cake. During all of that, I had to deal with my very demanding toddler today. She's chilling now but I only have about 30 minutes before my dad gets here and I should quickly mop the floors. And get some other things done. I just want a nap.
Thank goodness we're going to the in laws tomorrow instead of having them here. Having people over is so exhausting lately. At the same time, I'm not looking forward to hanging with my cray cray mil.

I went to a friend's cocktail party last night wearing a dress and, gasp, heels! I used to be a straight up heels-only girl so it's been hard getting used to flats most days but it felt really nice to be back in them last night. I was super confident it would be fine and it was for about 2 hours. By 10pm, my whole body was so tired, I could barely lift my arms. Lame, and a little disappointed it wasn't just mind over matter in the end, but it was nice to feel girly again. I wore a black tight dress so a few waiters walked up to offer me a gorgeous looking cocktail only to see me turn side on and freak out ha ha. It's a neat trick. Now you see it, now you don't!
I had a long brunch with some friends whom I haven't seen in awhile and picked up 2 new dresses for my showers, so that's 2 things checked off my list for today. We were supposed to clean in preparation for the shower that my sister is hosting at my house tomorrow. DH vacuumed and did dishes. I napped. He's so sweet though. He just left to chaperone prom and told me not to worry about cleaning for tonight. He's just going to finish up tomorrow morning.
We went and got an elective 4D ultrasound this morning. It was awesome. Baby girl looks just like her brother did during his...she even smiled a few times. It was adorable.
I was supposed to have my baby shower tomorrow but my best friend sucks. There. I said it. She waited until 5pm TODAY to ask if we could reschedule because she "hasn't had time to get anything". Really?! YOU wanted to do this, picked the date a month ago and invited everyone! To say the least, I'm pretty frickin' annoyed. Hopefully this weekend gets better...

We took DS and Molly to the dog bar last night for dinner and ran into a play date pal so the boys had a blast.
Did somebody mention cake earlier?
Hubby and I had date afternoon today which consisted of Mexican lunch, shopping for maternity dresses for me, sushi for late afternoon snack, and a to go from the most amazing cake shop a pregnant lady could ever find herself in.
Tonight friends came over so our toddlers could play and their 5 week old baby got to cuddle up to belly baby. I almost forgot how delicious newborns smell.
Tomorrow it looks like rain so we are thinking a little children's museum and naps on the couch.

Sully that sucks about your baby shower. I would be really peeved at said friend.

How can she do this? Is she going to contact everyone to reschedule? This just makes zero sense. If the date has already been reserved for so long she should just minimize what she was going to do rather than reschedule the whole thing and inconvenience absolutely everyone. I'm sorry
According to her text, she hasn't bought ANYTHING. No decorations, no food, nothing. I mean basically zero planning. I've asked her numerous times if she needed my help and she said no. I didn't even want to have a baby shower (I wanted a Sip & See after she was born) but she insisted and said she'd take care of everything. I'm mainly frustrated because this was all her idea, people made plans to be there and I've had to spend half my evening texting and calling people. Seriously not in the mood for her right now & I'm trying to control my inner pregnancy beast.

sully326 how rude of your friend!!!! That is so rude of her! She can't offer to host and then cancel it the night before. Now you have to call the guests? I would be livid.
sully326 that is horrible!!! I'm so sorry you are having to deal with that. I'm with the others... I think pregnancy rage would have taken over! Go treat yourself to a mani/pedi tomorrow and send your friend the bill.
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!
Hope you're feeling better today! I hate not feeling well- especially on the weekend!

Ps. My love tit was for the 4d us and getting to see your LO smile. I bet that was amazing.
I'm so sorry about your shower. Your friend sounds lame. Hoping that she gets her act together and does something REALLY special for you to make up for it.
sully326 what a bitch move, I'm sorry. And even worse that YOU had to call and tell most of the guests - that is completely ridiculous. Hope someone else picks up the reins for your shower.
I am accomplishing a lot this weekend, finally! Yay nesting. But having a toddler at this point in pregnancy is taking a toll. Mostly the fact that there are CONSTANTLY toys on the freaking floor and bending over to pick up is driving me insane. My own fault, I should have been reinforcing the need to pick up toys more. Guess who is going to get a major lesson in 100% picking up after himself the next two months? Where the hell is Mary Poppins when I need her...
I'm pissed for you, sully326. What an inconsiderate person your friend is!
We went to a birthday brunch today where I had veggie sushi, dumplings, quiche, edamame, and fruit all on one plate. Then I had an apple tart and a slice of this delicious cream cheese -y cake with strawberries and a chai latte from the coffee bar they had set up. Mm. I did have to put up with a 78 year old British woman who cornered me and told me aaaaaall about natural childbirth and how she birthed a 12 lb boy breech over 50 years ago and also to "wet two fingers with warm water and stretch your vagina!" To prep for childbirth. No thanks.

sully326, that is seriously shitty of your friend. I would be so pissed if someone did that to me. And how rude to have you clean up her mess on top of it all. Not cool.
I had a great Saturday, since it was our shower yesterday. We had so much fun and spent a lot of time with friends and family. Plus, we left with a ton of stuff from our registry, so I'm super excited to get everything organized and set up. We're driving back home now and are supposed to go to a budgeting class tonight. I think instead we may skip it though so we can unload all the baby stuff and set it up.

Today is way better. Still sore but no more vomiting! That was just gross. Excited to see the OB tomorrow!
I went out with my sister and her girls from work Friday night, it reinforces how much I hate bars and that I'm not missing out.
Saturday I went bridesmaids dress shopping for a wedding I'm in, in October. Had dinner with our best friend and his fiancé and also found they plan on getting married this June...had I not asked his fiancé if they had set a date while we shopping, I doubt he would have told us. :/
Today I cleaned, folded laundry and am about to color a friends hair and than go home to finish cleaning and work in homework.
Props to you for going to a bar! I went to one last month for a friend's 30th, and I felt terribly uncomfortable and kind of miserable. It was annoying to have everyone blowing their alcohol breath in my face.

Hahahaha I love hearing elderly people tell their birth stories. Even my mom's stories from giving birth in the 70s and 80s! They are always shocked to hear about how much testing is done on pregnant women these days. I will say though.....It makes me thankful for giving birth this day and age.
