It's Friday! Holla!

[txngrl31]

If you have had a rough work week or even if you are already on maternity leave, I think we can all be excited that it's Friday!

What is everyone up to this weekend? The weekends of getting stuff done for baby are dwindling down for early June mamas.

Raise a glass of your favorite pregnancy beverage or mocktail......

[bendherova]

You know, I'm not sure what our plans are this weekend. DH hasn't been told if he's on call or not. (seriously, wth, wait until the day before??)

H is off next week m-f, so I'm saving all of my baby to-do items for then.


Today DS1 and I are going to the end of year celebration at his pre-school. Otherwise, no plans! I kind of like it!!

[dogmama22]

On Saturday, my mom, grandma, sister and I are headed about 2 hours north for my cousin's baby shower. I think that's all we really have planned so maybe after church on Sunday I can convince DH to help me with some baby projects. We'll see how that goes...

[Deleted]

No plans except baby projects! I told DH I think I'm turning into a hermit until baby arrives because we had a few invitations for get togethers with friends and I declined all of them. I just want as much uninterrupted time at home as possible.

[laurenlou83]

Tomorrow I have a co-worker's wedding. It should be fun, but also very interesting. She is 48 and this is her first marriage.... but it is the groom's 4th marriage. Most of her family and close friends aren't the biggest fans of him either, so we'll see how this all goes down!! My co-worker is super sweet, so as long as she is happy, we have to be happy for her!!

It will be the first wedding I attend pg and where I can't drink. Booooo!!! I want to indulge in a glass of wine, but I don't want the side-eyes and judgements from my coworkers (ie, my boss, CFO and HR director, all whom I sitting with, ugh).

[erbear]

I'm getting a massage after my chiropractor appointment today!! YES!!

Tomorrow is the scholastic warehouse book sale for teachers, so I plan on buying some new classroom books and books for baby. After that H and I are going to work on some things around the house and probably buy our baby monitor ($20 gift card at target this week!).

H leaves early Sunday morning for a conference and my parents and I are going to the walk for Cystic Fibrosis - although we're not walking. I'm in charge of the walk sign tent. Mom wants to dip fortune cookies for my shower next weekend but I might just stay home and do laundry and stuff. I need to pack my hospital bag!

[turtletyme]

TGIF!!!
Getting my hair cut and colored tomorrow! I might be a big, giant orb but at least I will have pretty hair. Sunday I have to write a special report. It should only take a few hours, but I hate, hate working on the weekends.

No big baby projects this weekend I don't think, just hanging pictures in the nursery. I do have to vacuum and dust my dirty house though. I just got a new Shark for upstairs, so I am a little more excited for cleaning than usual. DH was playing with it yesterday, I was hoping he would do the whole floor, but no such luck.

[alayne926]

Tonight DS and I are going to have a quiet night at home...probably snuggle up and watch a movie. Tomorrow, I'd like to get some baby projects done around the house before DH goes to work tomorrow night. DS and I are going to meet my sister and her kids at the fire station, they are having a "touch-a-truck" event and movie night. Sunday hopefully will just be a lazy day.

[trixi282]

Today after work my IL's are brining J to see me and brining me dinner. Tomorrow I think my H is coming up after work for awhile.... And Sunday he and family are moving all of our stuff from storage into our new house, so I'll just be chillin at the hospital asking for frequent updates via text, haha!

[wormgerm]

Half day for me today because I have a midday ob appointment. After that I need to go buy shoes for tomorrow, a graduation card, and possibly hostess gifts. Tonight is bffs master's commencement.

Tomorrow is sleeping in and then my baby shower.

Sunday is probably playing with baby gear and chilling at home. Perhaps some cleaning.

[Bluedaisy]

It's a holiday weekend here so we get Monday off. No major plans other than working around the house and on baby projects. The weather is supposed to be fantastic so I might plant flowers.

DH is totally up to his eyeballs painting the nursery which is awesome! I'm so excited to see it done and be able to start assembling furniture....the boxes sitting everywhere are starting to drive me nuts.

[holliberry28]

laurenlou83, I would definitely indulge in a nice glass of wine! Baby is baked enough! I would ask the bartender to put in a splash of cranberry or orange juice so you can avoid any side-eyeing from anyone. Screw them though.

DH finally completed his bachelor's today. He's prided himself in going to school since last century (1999). This is what happens when you go to school part-time and have three different careers in between! Anyhow, he has a final paper due on Tuesday so he refuses to do anything else this weekend.

Hoping to convince my mom or sister to come help me put together the rest of the stuff for the nursery.

We also are going to look into SUV's to trade in our Honda Civic Lease in for. I'm liking the Ford Escape, DH thinks we need a mid-size instead of compact SUV. THoughts?

[laurenlou83]

holliberry28, you're right! I don't have any qualms about indulging, it's more the judgements from others. I'll just have to be sneaky.... or just keep taking DH's when no one is looking

I've never driven a Ford Escape, but 2 of my friends have one and another has a Ford Edge and they all love them. I believe @pcrunk has an escape and give you some insight!

I have an older CRV that I LOVE! I've had it since 12K miles (bought used) and it is now 10+ years old with 150K miles on it. Aside from a few things, I've never had a huge problem. My dad also drives a 2013 CRV and loves it.

[leenziepops]

Finally my shower is on tomorrow. Im excited!

[wink568]

It's my last day physically in the office! From here on out I'll be working from home until the day I pop.

DH is out of town vending at a few LARP events in Michigan. I'm a little worried about the possibility of early labor just because of the fact that he's gone, but since everything has been going well, I'm sure I'm just being paranoid. He's about five hours away, so he shouldn't miss the whole affair and I have plenty of friends nearby who are aware he's out of town and can get me to L&D at the drop of a hat.

DH's cousin is staying with us since DH hooked him up with a temp job so he can have some job experience to help with finding a part time job when he goes back to school. One of the few house guests from DH's family that I never mind having around (Also helps to have somebody strong to help with yard work and such since I'm pretty much useless). He can't go with DH this weekend since he's working Saturday, so we'll probably be spending the weekend working on a few projects to get ready for baby's arrival.

SOs parents are in Pittsburgh visiting this weekend from NOVA, since have to entertain them today. They want to drive around in the car all day and see my hometown... They don't want to actually do anything. Yay for being almost 36 weeks pregnant and sitting in a car all day.

!!!

There's so much to do here and the weather is great today! WTF are they thinking!!

Looks like perfect incline weather. Sigh.

[pghtruelove]

bendherova I know! Today is supposed to be the only nice day this weekend and there is so much fun stuff to do in Pittsburgh, but all they want to do is drive around looking at the houses in the town I grew up in and get take out to eat at our apartment. They don't even want to get food from a Pittsburgh restaurant, they want Outback. They are so boring.

That would make me very stabby! Why on earth do they care about seeing the houses you grew up in??

[lalamomma]

I'm currently sitting in the parking lot of a local breakfast spot waiting on my darling brother who overslept LOL.
Spending a bit of time with my grandpa today and then some time with my inlaws this weekend.
I'm doing a photo session for a friend on Sunday if we have good weather.

[tiffbot]

We have NO PLANS and its a long weekend which means I have H on Monday, I don't remember the last long weekend we've had without making any plans but I am so freakin excited about that!

[wormgerm]

Outback?! At least get Primanti's!

alayne926 - we have taken our kids to several "touch-a-truck" events and they absolutely love it! Have fun!

**stuck in box**
DS LOVES trucks, so he's going to be in heaven!  My MIL works for the YMCA and they have an event every year and he ran around for 3 hours to see ALL the trucks/cars/helicopters that they had there.  Longest he's paid attention to anything in his short two years of life.

[sully326]

No plans. But we had no plans last weekend either and we ended up almost non-stop busy, so....Might end up at my mom's in her pool before the weekends over. We'll see.

[wifedeangel]

This morning I'm dealing with a weather headache, so I'm sure it will be a quiet day.

Saturday I'm getting my hair cut. I'd like to pretend I want to do a short and/or shaved 'do like ScarJo, but I don't have her bone structure, and it would just be "mom hair" on me.


But I'll still get several inches cut off, and it will still be long.

My BFF is coming with me, and afterward we'll get some brunch and have some final girls day out before baby arrives.

Sunday will be relaxing.

Edit because words are hard.

[PurpleIris]

I'm off today so I'm getting stuff done around the house (can't you tell? I'm v. productive at housework when I'm on the computer). Main goal is to get my son moved to his new bedroom so I can set up the baby's room.

Tomorrow we have a birthday party in the morning and then gymnastics.

Sunday we have nothing scheduled for the the first time in forever. Soccer was cancelled, which I'm not particularly broken up about.

Crazy! My grandparents live in Murrysville right outside of PGH. Last time I visited we ate at Hoffbrauhaus and went to the children's museum both of which are amazing!

There is so much cool stuff to do in Pittsburgh! Can you change their minds?

We had a CRV and I loved it. When the lease was up, DH wanted to trade it in for the Pilot and I was so not convinced. I thought the CRV was plenty big enough and I loved the way it drove, etc. Then I test drove the Pilot. Holy hell, I was SOLD. It's so big and roomy, but drives so smooth, smoother than the CRV even. I can't tell you how much I love the extra space, especially since now we have to fit 2 kids in it. Bottom line, I loved my CRV but now that I've got a taste of the bigger SUV, I prefer it. Plus it's great here for the Michigan winters. Just my two cents.

[tatersalad]

Happy birthday @pcrunk!

I'm sitting in the waiting room while hubby gets the big V. Will probably be icing his ball sack rest of the day.

We have no plans for the weekend which is refreshing, but babysitter has prom so no date time. Anything we do will probably involve friends with kids or Childrens Museum if it rains like forecasted.

THIS!! We'll be hanging out close to home, just the 3 of us.  

[veggiemo]

Tomorrow there is a "preschool yoga" class for ages 2-5 at one of the local libraries. I was thinking of taking DS, but I'm so nervous about how he will act. The explanation says "puppets and music are used to guide movement and flexibility." I can just imagine the teacher telling all the kids to 'reach up to the sky' or whatever and then my kid running around like a banshee knocking everyone over. So, I keep waffling on whether or not to try it.

Not much else scheduled. DH works all weekend AGAIN
