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...
Ahh sully take it easy!
I'm trying. No way I'm going to walk as much tonight as I did earlier...way too sore for that...

Had to cancel on a girl trip this weekend for a baby shower so I've been getting in lots of vicarious face time with old friends so far. Wish I was feeling up to all the car riding so I could be with them.
My parents decided to come up this morning so we took DS to the 500 Festival Parade and grilled brats on the deck after. Pool opened today so we are skipping nap and heading to the club for some fun in the sun and dinner with another family tonight. Tomorrow is also my birthday and we have a sitter for a few hours in the afternoon. May go to a race party or host an impromptu one on our office deck in the bar district. I'm not really feeling up to playing hostess though. Monday I need to chalk paint a dresser for the boys' room. We'll see if that happens...

I am being thrown a (semi surprise) shower tomorrow! I am really blessed and flattered because I didn't not expect one as a STM. It is a collaboration between some ladies from the church I lead worship at and my sister. It's so sweet!! I am kind of wondering what sort of stuff we'll get since we didn't register or anything (actually we did create a tiny registry simply for grandparents and great-grandparents to browse because they wanted some direction on what we needed/wanted for the baby... But nobody else really knows about that)
No matter what it'll be a really fun time I'm sure! I feel really honored and loved! hope we get lots of diapers and pink clothes, because those are the only things we don't have leftover from DS! Lol.

Oh my gosh I finally felt physically well enough (or just crazy enough) to tackle some of whats been haunting me in the kids room. I unpacked SOs literally over 1000 dvds onto shelves, organized what space that created in storage, and emptied 9 boxes of crap that were stacked up in the bedroom from our move, plus managed to shift the furniture from the center of the room to the walls without scratching the floor or breaking my ass! If I do not lift a finger the rest of the weekend I will be fine with that. In fact if I do nothing at all else physically to put this room together I feel completely justified. Its his turn now!!! Tomorrow Im having lunch with 2 of my girlfriends and thats all I have planned. Im guessing I will be completely and totally exhausted after today!
Today I've done a whole lotta nothing. My friend is bringing me dinner tonight which will be nice - not sure what we're having yet though.
Tomorrow is H's birthday, so he's coming up to see me with J and his parents. I think BIL/SIL might come too, and we'll have cake here at the hospital. My mom got him a present for me, and helped J pick out a card for him... but I don't have a card for him (boo). I was going to have my mom bring me to the gift shop yesterday and I forgot....
Monday is a holiday... but it will just be a Monday at the hospital for me... so no plans right now. H will come up in the evening, not sure what time, and spend the night since Tuesday is going to be baby day!

Dragged my butt to the fabric store (Joann's) with almost 6 yo DD, and had a pretty good time. She wants to make a "fairy wedding dress," so we found 4 different, completely fluffy, totally impractical kinds of pink glittery apparel fabric, as well as some beaded ribbon (all on clearance + 50% off). She is totally blissed out. It was fun to go do a girl outing! She wandered through all the aisles gushing about how perfect everything was. I picked out more flannel for burp clothes (also all 60% off). Plus 20% discount coupon....
tatersalad Happy Birthday! Hope you have fun tomorrow! wegrowsheep you've now convinced me I need to go to JoAnn's this weekend. I think I'll venture out once I get tired of cleaning tomorrow.

Huh. So we got home from the Duck boat/Incline trip and my parents and ILs were in our apartment. Happy birthday surprise for me!! They also threw a grandma baby shower, too.
My stinky mother made me play so many games!! Groan. (she knows I dislike them and was teasing me). It was fun!!
Last night was a retirement party for my dad. Today I had a NST and then my husband brought me falafel pita and hummus. Now we are watching episodes of Stalker. Tomorrow we plan to do nothing much. Monday H's FIL's gf is having a BBQ so we may go by there. Not very exciting around here!

My son is turning 6 June 3rd but we are having his party today (c/s is scheduled for June 2nd) at noon. I am a party planning nut and have spent hours on the cake, decorations (food signs, wall hanging etc). It's a serious problem but I do also enjoy it!
I have been so paranoid that something would happen and I would have to miss his party so im very glad the day is finally here!
I had my shower yesterday and today I'm organizing stuff and going to target with MIL for a few more things. Tomorrow is 100% laundry day because holy hell do I have a lot to wash, baby stuff and our stuff!

+1 for laundry day. That's what I will be doing all day tomorrow but I wish I had the excuse of it being baby laundry. I need to do laundry for the rest of the family!
sonuptosondown H told me "I'm running out of underwear" yesterday and I realized our laundry is overflowing. Oops. I just wanted to do baby laundry while MIL was here to help me!
Attended a vow renewal for SO's parents and had margarita/ tamale night at my aunts house for my mom's birthday. Alcohol free margaritas aren't as good but the tamales were pretty great. Thrift store hunting happened today and really wishing I had a grill right now. I could kill for steak, corn on the cob, and roasted red potatoes.
