Taking DS to the dr today. DH was going to take DS camping tomorrow, but the weather is going to keep them home. DH also has a "man cold" right now, so I'm solo parenting a toddler while super uncomfortable right now. Since he apparently can't function at all right now.
H went into work for the 4th time since his vacation started, but he'll be done around noon.
This afternoon we're taking DS1 on a Duck-boat tour of our city. We may end up doing an Incline, too, depends on how I'm feeling.
Tomorrow is the Indianapolis 500!! But I don't think I can watch (on TV) bc we're going to the Pirates game in the early afternoon. It's Kids' Day, and DS1 should be able to run the bases afterwards!
Monday, my parents arrive for a few days for my birthday week!
Blissfully enjoying a teensy Starbucks and deciding what project I want to start on first! Boys are gone all weekend, I can count on one hand how many times I've had this since DS1 was born. Not going to happen again anytime soon after DS2 so I have zero guilt. Crossing my fingers I can nest like crazy but there's an estate sale I want to hit up this afternoon...
Taking a break from cleaning our room out at the moment. Floor refinishing Monday! FINALLY! Perfect excuse to declutter our rats nest and get the ridiculous dust out. Pretty much just going to be a lazy cleaning Saturday and Sunday. I can't tell you how excited I am for this project to start and finish so I can finally nest. 9 months pregnant and everything baby is in bags and boxes cluttering up my living space!
Pulling weeds and making receiving blankets and burp clothes. So exciting.
We need to revive the crafting and seeing thread. I'd love to see everyone's progress. I made some breast pads and cloth wipes the other day (just taught myself to use the serger).

White sox game today honoring my all time favorite player, Paul Konerko, with my IL's, kids birthday party tomorrow, and possibly shopping for some last minute hospital bag additions:) Monday is all about relaxing and probably cleaning! Hope everyone has a nice next few days:)
DH is at work today, so I'm off to the garden center to get some veggie plants for our raised garden beds. Tonight, our friend Bill is coming over so the boys can drink and watch UFC. I will make tacos and chocolate pie, and then fall asleep around 10 watching the foodnetwork.
Sunday, DH and I are going to check outran open house for a home we can't afford. Based on the pictures, it's absolutely gorgeous. I will probably leave crying because we can't have it. We'll come home and plant our veggies in the garden. Sunday afternoon, we're headed to a hot air balloon launch in a neighboring town.
Monday, we're checking out the local fair and will probably have steak for dinner. If it's not raining, I'd love to spend a few hours lounging by the pool.

Soooo jealous! Days like this I miss living downtown Chicago! Enjoy the game and Go Sox!!!
My parents are visiting this weekend! They're still in IL, we're in MI, so it'll be the last time we see them before this little guy arrives. They'll be here around noon and staying until Monday. We are grilling out, baby shopping, going to the lake... Should be fun!
Finishing the nursery today! It looks SO amazing!!! Then friends of ours who are also pregnant are coming up and we're spending the afternoon at our complex's pool...it's only 70 degrees out but it's sunny and bright
Tomorrow we're going to the Jersey Shore to check out our beach house for Aug with the ILs, followed by dinner at our favorite shore restaurant. Can't wait to just sit on the beach and read all day...since I know I won't be doing much of that this summer.
Monday we'll prob go back to the pool and then BIL/SIL (the tolerable ones) are coming up for dinner.
Also I have to confess that I may stalk my photographer about my maternity photos...I'm getting impatient!
Today is yardwork and my birthday celebration with DH, BFF, and her husband. Tomorrow is my birthday and baby shower!!! Excited to see some friends I haven't seen in years! Then MIL wants to have a picnic at her house after. I'm anticipating being exhausted so we'll stay for a little but then leave. Monday is organizing new stuff, installing car seat (!), and relaxing.
Our long weekend was last weekend so nothing really special happening. I'm nearly 38 weeks and moving is painful, the weather is supposed to be gorgeous, so we'll probably do a lot of chilling out at home and playing outside. We talked about going to visit my parents for supper sometime, we should do that too.
Basically at the point where we are just hanging out waiting for baby now we live an hour from the hospital so the only direction we're really comfortable going is the direction of the city haha. Who knows, maybe we'll feel spontaneous and go there too for a bit. We want to get DS a little splash/kiddie pool sometime so maybe that will happen.
After reading the nesting thread, my goal is to not be a complete lazy ass all weekend and muster up some ambition to get stuff done. Even though I'm in the caboose category of June, I still want to feel some sense of accomplishment. Ugh, I wish for the nesting bug to bite me and bite me hard this weekend. These are my super exciting goals, dreams and plans for this long weekend.
There's a gigantic festival going on here & we'll be there most of the day today, then they'll have fireworks tonight...Tomorrow we're going to a BBQ/ Pool Party...

bendherova, Sounds like a perfect pittsburgh weekend! I've still never been on a ducky tour, and really want to. I've had them quack past me a bunch of times though
I'm continuing my friend-dates today by driving out to see a friend and her baby about an hour away. The past four days I've done happy hour every day with a different friend! It's nice to have the time to talk before baby gets here.
Plenty of cleaning/yard-work projects I'll try to bum around on this weekend.
After being up at 6am I went back to sleep until now (11) so I'm feeling pretty good
I finally got my butt in gear this morning and did some housework!! My bathtub has never been shinier! Now we're headed to the lake. DH will be sailing and I'm just going to hang out in the shade on the pontoon boat. Tomorrow my sister is coming over to help me finish cleaning up the rest of the house (she keeps me focused). On Monday the ILs are coming to help finish up the nursery and we can set the crib up! AW pics coming soon...

Finishing the baby's room today (hopefully). BBQ with friends tomorrow, which is supposed to be a beautiful day. Monday we have no plans and I'm beyond excited about that.
My son wants to make cookies so we'll be doing some baking. He's like his momma, he likes the cookie dough the best.

We're heading to my BFFs complex pool this afternoon, and maybe again in Monday afternoon, if it doesn't rain. The contractors are finally actually painting today and maybe tomorrow (the outside), so I would rather be out while they're here. Nothing else is set in stone.
Sounds like awesome plans for a lot of you this weekend! MY DH is building our deck while I hide upstairs working on the classroom yearbook so I can get in ordered in hopes that they will arrive before the school year ends. I'm using yearbook breaks to clean since my doggy got sent to daycare so she couldn't "help" with the deck.
I'm at my last hair color appointment before baby. Eek! My tough decision of the day is to go lighter for summer or keep it a little darker since it may be awhile before the next one. Oh the struggles After this, I'm running some last baby errands to get nursery items and then DH and I are planning to hunker down for the long weekend. We are supposed to have another round of bad storms so it's a good excuse to be hermits which is my weekend activity of choice lately anyway!

Reading thru all these makes me want to go be social, get my hair done, and wash all the floors in my house. However, right now I'm still in my sweats watching the traffic go by (we live on the state hwy 35 miles from the Mt Rainier NP entrance), and drinking my tea. And listening to my 6 yo explain to my 4 yo how puppies are born....
I did mention to DD the possibility of going to the fabric store, but leaving and doing stuff is SO MUCH WORK. 9 days til EDD. Must. Find. Motivation.

Cleaned this morning... Got my freezer in order, I am ready to cook and freeze! So now I am getting taken out for shopping and a movie. Later this weekend I am going to pack my hospital bag. We will grill out either tomorrow or Monday. Mostly I just want to sit on my lazy ass... Preferably on the deck.

I went darker last weekend for the reason you mentioned! Fun!
All the pool parties and swimming sounds like heaven. We are going to a friend's house to watch The Blackhawks and UFC. We might play Cards Against Humanity if I can make it that long. Had DH buy me a special pillow to sit on.
Went to the Festival, walked around the whole thing once & had to go home because, HOLY CONTRACTIONS! I came home, laid on the couch, chugged more water and they finally stopped. I now feel like I've done about 500 sit-ups and it sucks....& we have to go back tonight for the Fireworks... LAWD, I hope I don't go I to labor lol...
