It’s the weekend.

Whatcha doing?

[ovenrack]

My children are torturing me. I just want to lie down. They’re thrashing the house.

A works 6 days a week and usually it’s fine but some days it feels impossible.

I can’t wait until the summer when we have the farmers market to walk to on Saturday mornings. Today I’m just waiting for the library to open.

[babybean]

I’ve only re-sheeted one bed and I’m taking a break. I can barely keep my eyes open.

[nuggetrn]

I am the only one in the house awake right now. Contemplating dragging DH out of bed. But wanting to be nice. We both got pretty decent sleep last night. Having him home to help with baby at night is so nice. I don't think I realized how much harder it has been this week to do it all by myself.

I just finished pumping because I slept through a feed so DH could do it and my mom just texted me that her and her husband would be over to see us within the hour... So I guess I should put a shirt on or something. Lol.

That sounds like enough work to deserve a nap 😉

[yianna]

The Little’s woke me up at 6....

I woke dh up at 6:30 and said - let’s go to Waffle House! YUM.

Now I’m getting my hair done - sitting under the steamer to process. MIL wants to go to pottery barn kids to look at doll house for Adrianna and Alina... which also means she may take us clothes shopping too (she’s really great - and honestly makes up for her pain of a husband).

After that? I see a nap in my future. Then church tonight. Massage tomorrow (my legs are full of knots) and teaching CCD tomorrow afternoon.

(Gah that sounds too busy for a weekend...)

Hopefully she's bringing breakfast/donuts/coffee.

Oh that would be nice... I think they are coming straight from their house though and it's only country roads in between us. Maybe next time 😊

Dd and I got our hair cut yesterday so I don’t even have to style my hair this morning🙌🏻 Which is great because I’m feeling extra lazy today😬 I have a growth ultrasound and bloodwork later this afternoon at the hospital.

[mintyblueair]

L slept until 7:15 so I'm feeling pretty good! We have swimming lessons later this morning, then I'll be running a few errands during his nap. I have to return some things and grocery shop. This afternoon I'm making cinnamon buns 😊

We were supposed to do a maternity/family photo shoot yesterday but it was way too windy to do them outside. We're waiting to see if the weather will cooperate next week.

[ArielMermaid]

I’m so tired. Yesterday was pretty awful. I did at least sleep last night. MH is out to lunch with his friend and wants to know if he should bring food home for us but I’m too tired to even think about it. Toddler is going parented by YouTube.

[snowmoon]

I'm going a little stir crazy. I tried to get my kid to go to the library for story time and even bribed him with a donut but he threw a fit and just wanted to play in the backyard. We're just finishing lunch and then have a nap. Super fun.

[ovenrack]

I dragged us all out of the house and the library happened to be doing a story/craft thing. So that’s good. Now lunch, and nap ASAP. I’m napping too, at any cost.

[leatherpants]

My mother is here for the weekend. Deep breaths.

We have a family baby shower to go to in a bit. Right now I’m drinking my lame decaf and watching Olympics.

[nuggetrn]

Our basement is flooded. It has been raining for the last two days. We have standing water in our yard and when our neighbors built their house next to us they graded their lot so that all of water flows into our yard. Its a big annoying thing...

DH is freaking out. Like this sucks I know but it is what it is right now. Can we please just deal with it without becoming crazy people?

Our sump pump just wasn't keeping up with the amount of water we have outside. So now DH is out buying another pump and some hose so we can work on getting the water out of the basement. Plus we are going to keep getting rain for a few more days So we need to be prepared.

Thankfully it is an unfinished basement and most everything we had stored down there is already in plastic bins or up off the floor. But literally the whole basement is full of water. Not how we planned on spending this day.

[cornpop]

Gymnastics was actually pretty good this morning. Then we went to Chik For A, picked up cupcakes for my mom's birthday and more La Croix water for me. Now I'm just counting the minutes until naptime.

I got my yoga ball so I blew it up and am bouncing on it. I got the "seat" for it but I'm still falling all over the place.

[cp3]

I'm in full nesting mode so now that the nursery is done we are deep cleaning our house this morning. I'm dying and everything hurts. But I have a prenatal massage this afternoon and I'm very much looking forward to it.

[cp3]

Omg nuggetrn. What a nightmare. You guys need to catch a break. I hope the damage isn't too bad.

[auri]

I'm sorry about your basement nuggetrn. That sucks that your neighbors are making the problem worse.

leatherpants, I hope the baby shower is fun.

We have friends coming over tonight for our monthly game night. So far I've managed to puke twice today and felt a little light headed this morning. I'm hoping my body will get its act together and cut this out soon.

[alwayscheese]

All you ladies' food. Now I need donuts and cupcakes. I had kinda decided I wouldn'tmake more sweets before baby comes but... I do have whip-n-ice in my freezer that makes wonderful light cupcake frosting.

nuggetrn sorry you have that to deal with.

We went to the hospital for a breastfeeding class this morn. Stopped at the mall to get DH a bow tie for tonight. Now I need to be productive for a few hours, then we have our Fire department's 75th anniversary banquet tonight and church afterwards. For reasons we are having lots of meetings at church this week and might be 3 tomorrow plus maybe a potluck for lunch. Guess that would be my chance to make cupcakes lol. But I'm gonna be too tired to get up in time for my 9am midwife appt on Monday.

DH almost banned me from the yoga ball because I kept trying to roll off of it. Baby loves to be bounced around on it though! It's been great for if she is fussy and I am tired.

The biggest thing is there were a few notebooks and paper items strewn around which I was frustrated that got messed up. But thankfully there is not a lot down there and most of what is was put up or in plastic bins. So the damage is fairly minimal it's just a hassle.

[babybean]

nuggetrn I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that, especially now. Good call on the extra sump pump.

[dizzycooks]

I’m going to kill my dh if he tells me one more time how tired/cold/whatever he is. Look at the effing list and get to work. He went skiing this morning and now he wants to “relax”. I am so passed. I am beyond sore and would love to just lay on the couch and direct and know he will actually DO what needs doing. Apparently my page long list wasn’t enough to get him moving. So I’ll keep working on it.

[katietopaz]

Joining those of you getting self-care this weekend - I'm about to get a hair cut and color. My gal usually throws in a free face massage and fixes my eyebrows, too, so I'm secretly hoping that happens too. My hair needs this love and work, so badly.

[babybean]

SS’s mom sent him with runners only. They don’t have snow at her place right now so I’m trying to be cool about it, but I’m annoyed. She didn’t have boots for him earlier this season so I sent the pair we got him and she hasn’t sent them back even though they’re a secondary pair now. We have snow here and she knows that. 😒

This pregnancy is killllllling me. Like, it’s my third and I know I have difficult pregnancies but this is next level. I almost couldn’t function the first 4 to 5-ish months because of HG and now as of Monday it’s all about prodromal labor and I literally can not walk around for ten minutes without painful contractions. I’ve already had to go to the hospital to stop ctx twice. I have lost count of all the drugs I’ve been given and that freaks me out too.

This baby had better be the chillest most adorable baby ever to make up for all of this nonsense.

5 more weeks.

[ArielMermaid]

Fuck that filingjointly you could use a break.

[woodenshoes]

We put together the dresser we bought this morning and decided we didn’t like it. So we drove 45 minutes to target to return it. I discovered that they still sell the dresser we bought for DS four years ago so we ordered that one. The employee at Target gave us a gift card for 15% off the price since we bought the 1st dresser with our registry completion discount, which was so kind. I am dreading putting the dresser together though. It is nice but was a pain to put together.

Now we are letting DS play at a play place.

Tomorrow we are going to go watch maple syrup be made at one of DH’s relatives house.

[ovenrack]

I think my emotions are definitely getting away from me. I’m picking up takeout, and just ran into an older friend of my husband’s, whose wife died a couple years ago.

He’s just so nice, and was so nice to me, and kissed me on the cheek goodbye... and now this bar is like his “cheers“ home, and now I’m walking home crying. 😳😂😩
