Since I have an outside baby (read: all the motivation and energy and none of the sleep) I'm going to get a flat of strawberries today and make jam. Or something.
Kidlets #1 and #2 are going with DH for an archery lesson.
My little brother flew in from Oahu last night to surprise my mommy (and me).
It's a good weekend, even if my nipples do hurt like a second degree burn being sucked off by a vacuum.
What's your plan for the weekend? Have a baby? Survive your inlaws? Let it out here.

Outside baby here. We are gonna try to make a graduation party for my friend's kid but it is three hours away and I am waiting on my secretive in laws to tell us if they are leaving town or not for her birthday. So it is a bunch of who knows!
Inside baby. I am going stir crazy. DH and I are going to run some errands today, but I want to do something fun llike mini golf. I am running on like, 3 hours sleep (pregsomnia was crazy last night) though, so we'll see how long I make it. Feeling super clingy and weepy today. DH left for work at 5:30, and I was a puddle. I am a mess!
This is our last child-free weekend! That is such a bizarre thought!!! DH and I are headed out for our last-minute baby buys, a massive grocery shopping mission so that all he has to do for the next month is pick up perishables, getting Father's Day gifts for the grandpas from baby girl and then hopefully a little pool time. We have a double date tonight to see Jurassic World and eat at PF Chang's with our friends who are also pregnant. Tomorrow we'll be making freezer meals, doing laundry, and binge watching OITNB. And then it's baby day...holy shit, where did the last 9 months go???
I feel way behind still having an inside baby. I know there has to be a bunch of us still but the board is so quiet aside from announcements and new mama chats. 39w1d and losing lots of my plug as of yesterday... maybe he'll be here in a few days.

No big plans for the day other than getting the house in order, which is mostly DH. He's folding laundry right now.
Tonight my friends are doing dinner at a brewery down the street, so we might meet up with them.
Tomorrow my MIL arrives. I'm completely dreading it. She's supposed to stay 3 days. I told DH she'd end up staying longer and he spoke with her and assured me she wouldn't. After BabyHorrible was born she called him to tell him she'd bought her tickets. She'll be here 5 days.

39 & 4 here. Walked for 3 hours yesterday trying to get this baby out, been having BS contractions since 7am so I walked the dog outside for an hour and walked at the mall for 2 this morning while DS was at "boys breakfast" with daddy and his pals. This should be my last weekend being pregnant since my doc promised to induce me by the end of next week if I go past due, but they still haven't called back with a time and day so I'm getting irritable. I need it on the books so I'll go into labor on my own (yeah right). Baby sitter coming at 3 today so I'll try to think of something fun to do on 5 hours of sleep.
Inside baby until Monday..it's also our last child free weekend. We go in at 9 PM tomorrow night!
We're at a strawberry festival and h is getting us pulled pork sandwiches with a strawberry bbq glaze. Yum! We also got two huge macaroons for later. There are SO many kids here; I can't wait to take my girl next year!
Outside baby, drama llama big sister. To make a long story short, it looks like we will be going to the pediatric ER tomorrow so they can do some tests on DD who has been refusing to walk since yesterday and seems genuinely in pain. DH is horrible with this sort of thing so i have to go too, but at least MIL offered to help with baby. i wanted to take DD today but DH is being stubborn. My parents were supposed to come tomorrow so i called them this morning and now they are coming today, just for the afternoon / evening.

Inside baby. But not for long. I have to keep telling myself that. No matter which way the wind blows, it won't be too much longer now. I have my 39 week OB appointment Tuesday and we will talk induction. We've been "playing it by ear" since 37 weeks since thats when the MFM said they "could or would" induce me if I said the word based off the fact I've been having chronic migraines for 6 months. I wanted to hold out. Well, I'm not so sure I want to hold out anymore. Every additional day that begins and ends that I'm still pregnant with a migraine I'm like OKAY LETS JUST DO THIS. Whatever happens, I won't go past 40 weeks, so at most I've got 11 days left. If I hold out till the end of the end, I've got 11 days left. I CAN DO THIS!!!
I was supposed to go with my mother and about to be SIL to try on her wedding dress this morning but I was feeling super awful migraine wise, like short of breath from the pain level about to pass out so I called out of that and went back to bed. Slept for 2 additional hours and woke up still in terrible migraine mode but at least the pass out feeling is gone so onward I shall proceed. Off to BRU with my mom to do the rest of my returns and complete my registry, then I plan to spend the remainder of the day napping in her recliner with an ice pack on my head and/or floating in her pool. If my life were a book I can definitively say, I am SO OVER this chapter and SO SO READY to just turn the page to the next chapter. I am so excited for WHATEVER the next chapter holds!!!!!

There is some sort of action happening in the Ute, but I think it's all for practice for now. But, that hopefully means within the week! Yay!
And I burned my strawberry jam this am. . I have no idea how I'm going to clean the pan. So far soaking in hot water and baking soda hasn't gotten it totally cleaned up.
DH is on call/in the OR. But, it's his last call weekend until hopefully after 7/4, so hooray.

Last child free weekend! I don't feel good enough to do much, but I am cleaning the house again (or directing DH with my feet up.) We are on a mission to eat out as much as possible before we get house bound, so we had wings last night and a huge breakfast today. I need to get father's day presents for the grandpas, but other than that, just trying to get zen and relax! (and totally avoiding my in laws, you got me there.)

Inside baby. 41+1. Over it.
Off the lab today to get blood tests before Monday's csection. I'm about to have major surgery but I am still a wimp about getting blood taken. DH promised to take me for ice cream after. Haha.
Other than that, spending the weekend cuddling DD as much as she'll let me and trying to keep calm!
We had our "sibling class" at the hospital today and DS was SO excited to see the babies. They had baby dolls swaddled up for the kids to practice holding and he kept saying, "don't help me momma...I do it myself!"
Edit: realized that the pic had our last name and hospital in it....POOF!

Taking in my 24 hour urine collection to the hospital later today. They will run it and other labs while monitoring me. If my numbers have gotten worse, I'm right on the border of pre-e and my kidney function has gotten worse, they will induce tonight. Otherwise we are scheduled for induction Tuesday at 4am for pregnancy induced hypertension.
If no induction tonight we might try to go to our friends' house for their son's grad party. Otherwise I am going to watch Netflix and eat all the food.
Outside babeh! I had brunch with my sister which was amazing. I always feel a little more sane after spending time with her.
My mom currently has the baby so I can get a much needed mani/pedi.
My great aunt and uncle are in town and staying at my parents so I'll be spending lots of time at their house since I only see my aunt/uncle once in a blue moon.
Glad you're getting some much needed R & R @littlechivette

We had our best friends over last night and ordered sushi for last baby free weekend. I can't believe it...definitely getting more anxious the closer Thursday gets. DH got a little tipsy so we had a great time timing him putting a diaper on a stuffed animal..and figuring out how to wear the Boba. I'd post pictures, but he'd kill me

Inside baby. I don't feel very good today but it's just tired and blah. My mom has asked me about 10 times if I'm "doing something" ugh. I love that she is excited and she has been so much help to me being here but please stop asking me that. I'll tell you if I think labor is coming.

DH is off helping my mom move, leaving me with our 4 day old. I had thought about going and sitting/ directing movers, but the way DS has been today (read: a complete lump), I'm really glad I didn't. Currently, I'm trying some ski n-to-skin contact to coax a feeding out of him. I swear if I didn't know better, I'd say that this isn't DH's kid - he has almost no interest in my boobs. He's looking a touch jaundiced, but he passed the blood work screening. The pediatrician suggested feeding him every 1-2 hours. I'm lucky if he eats every 3-4 hours as it is.
I've also done some light housework in an effort to be more active and hopefully get rid of this postpartum constipation. My postpartum swollen feet protest this plan.
it doesn't feel like a weekend. All the days are blending together.

Good luck! My numbers were high last week but I was able to buy the extra time until tomorrow for induction.

Inside baby 38+1. Took my three year old to the movies for the first time this am. Kid's movies for $1. Score! Then we went to the library. Trying to see if the invitation to come swimming still stands with my BFF. If so, we may do that after nap. DH is working (what else is new?) Pretty much just hanging out...
Outside baby here. Nips are on fire. I heard this shit gets better after two weeks eugh!!!!
So am I crazy for being semi envious of the inside baby mommas?! I get so depressed every night when LO goes to sleep because I know she will be one day older tomorrow. I know that sounds crazy but she's already 11 days old!

Outside baby. So far we've gone to the pediatrician, I vacuumed the living room, and took a nap. Playing weekend plans by ear. DHs grandpa is probably visiting tomorrow (was supposed to be today but don't think that's going to happen). We may attempt church tomorrow (we also have a grad party tomorrow, but if DHs gpa comes it will mess that up)

This. I can't keep track of any day. It's especially worse since my husband's "weekend" is Wednesday and Thursday. I'm all sorts of jacked up calendar wise.
Inside babies. 38w2d. We have an NST. Praying all looks good for everyone. I'm not leaving the house other then that this weekend. It's just too hot (108*) and I'm way too big. I wish we could do and do some fun things but it's not worth it lol. So thankful to have carried them this long. I am, however, counting down the hours until hospital check in 5:30am Monday morning!

You are always going to be a little sad about how much older they are getting but also proud too. When my son turned 18 I was so happy that I got him to the age where he is considered an adult but still a little sad he is an adult. I am really excited he will be 20 this year and that he survived his teens and I'm not sad at all.
