I did a lot of cooking/meal prep. Everything I made is for meals this week plus lots extra for freezing.
1. Turkey Quinoa Meatballs (family favorite)
2. Marinana (with hidden veggies)
3. Pulled BBQ Chicken (for hubby)
Then chopped/prepped for a Fiesta Quinoa Bake (for me, all prob put it together tomorrow)
If I have time later I'll prep dry ingredients for lactation cookies, if not I'll do that on Tuesday.
Have a few more recipes lined up for the week incase little girl stays inside all week.

H is on laundry duty, and got kids to clean playroom.

It was mainly trying to get the neglected rooms situated. I just need to wash the guest bedding and to clean that bathroom and the we are all set for my mom to stay with C while we are in the hospital.

I also packed like 2 things in my hospital bag.

I just pulled a few things from the garage and cleaned them, and set up the "baby nook"

The swing isn't together, because my toddler keeps climbing in it, and I'm afraid it will break, lol!


All that's left is the high chair to bring in. Not sure where that will live...
Today is just regular cleaning/laundry.

I had big plans this weekend to start organizing the nursery.

That didn't happen. It still looks like this:



But I DID make this to hang above little boy's crib:



And I got all of my baby shower thank you notes written and mailed.

This is HUGE!  Don't worry about the nursery, that will come together.  But those shower ty notes seem endless!

[sdchick]

FunniBunni, that is exactly why we haven't set up the cosleeper or Mamaroo. I already know my toddler will think they are fun climbing toys so they are staying in the garage in boxes until we get home from the hospital. DH can deal with setting them up later.

@ismellbooks, You're smart! I distinctly remember having a newborn, being hopped up on pain meds trying to address ty notes. I would hate to see how they turned out in my percocet-induced state.

[adorebel]

@ismellbooks, I'm usually so good about writing my notes and it's been 4 weeks since my shower! I have about 30 to write as well. For some reason, it's harder pregnant than it was after the wedding, haha. Everything is exhausting right now.

[awkwardturtle]

I have the hospital bag finished except for the last minute items. I fit everything for DH, LO and myself into a large duffel. I feel like this was accomplishment. I'm sure I'll end up liking one thing and wearing it the whole time.

Figuring out a going home outfit for myself was definitely the hardest. Everything I read was- try to pack something for when you were 5-6 months pregnant. Umm I don't remember. I also don't know what the weather will be like, then if I end up with a c section or breastfeeding.. Ended up settling on some black maternity leggings and a flowy grey shirt.

On a separate note I found the cutest Easter onesies at target today. They're in the wash now. I also did an Easter basket, even though I know he'll be way too young to realize what's going on. I couldn't help myself.
