Weekend randoms June 24-25

What are y'all up to this weekend??

[muscari]

Not much going on this weekend. The heat finally took a hike after Thursday's evenings thunderstorm yay! We had plans do some stuff around the garden but instead had a lazy morning. MH and I ran some errands this afternoon and on the way home stopped by a local snackbar cause I was craving their special burger *g* We're having soup for dinner tonight me thinks. But first I'm going to lay down for a sweet nap!

Good morning all! I woke up and started purging the baby's room, I have got to get something done with it before I go out of my mind! 😬

It's a rainy day today but tomorrow looks nice so something outdoors tomorrow

[yoshijo]

Morning. Carpet is coming today for baby's room. And my shower is tomorrow!

[pennylane]

DH is OOT for the weekend so I'm on my own with DS and the dog until Monday evening. We went to a local museum with a kids area for a while this morning, and planning to hide in the air conditioned house for the afternoon. No idea what we'll do tomorrow.

[addymac]

Today is the last day of our current life 😭 - DH starts his residency program tonight! Poor guy is on night call his first day! But that means we got to spend the day together so we were lazy in the morning (so sleepy!) then went for a nice walk along the lakefront path, and now are making dinner and then going to nap before we both leave for work at 6. Tomorrow is just sleeping and then work again.

[muscari]

jt2378, rainy days are perfect for in-house tasks. Hope you can get out for some fun tomorrow!

yoshijo, ohh yay for progress on the nursery. Once the carpet is in you can start putting in furniture as well right? And have loads of fun with your shower tomorrow. Hope you'll AW about it!

pennylane, good luck juggling the kid and dog on your own this weekend

addymac, big changes ahead! Enjoy your nap together!

@starzia, busy weekend, have fun!! And I hope you'll AW your shower as well!

So much for the rainy day, we did make some progress this morning and ended up taking DD strawberry picking this afternoon which was fun. 😊 weather turned nice

[bsouls]

We went to one of those small town fair things. T rode a bunch of rides. She had a good times.

My older brother stopped over to pick up some of his stuff. He was like, "can I leave some suits?" It's like, "dude, get your shit out of that closet - I need it for baby stuff." Now, I'll have no excuse not to pull out T's old clothes for baby.

It's my favorite picture of my boys. Both have passed away, but I don't want to change it.

Anyone take wedding rings off yet? I'm debating, since sometimes they're pretty tight.

[jexxa]

bsouls mine are tight too, I've been taking them off at the end of the day.

AFM, today we went to the aquarium. DS loved looking at all the sea creatures, he had a really good time. We went to the Cheesecake Factory afterwards - I've been craving it for months now but we don't have one near us, so when I found out there was one within walking distance of the aquarium I nearly peed myself with excitement

[jt2378]

jexxa, Cheesecake Factory is soooooo delicious! What did you get? The bellagio chicken is amazing

I got 3 small plates - the beet & goat cheese salad, stuffed mushrooms, and some sort of truffle/bacon/cheese bread thing.

And 2 pieces of cheesecake to go, of course

I don't wear mine often bc I can't wear them at work but my hands are starting to swell so I just took them off last night even though I didn't work til tonight. I'm paranoid they're going to get stuck and need to be cut off! I'm so sad I have so much swelling- sometimes it hurts to bend my fingers! ☹️

Awww I'm sad to hear that. We lost our oldest in 2013 and I still miss him so much. Our furbabies are such a big part of our family.

[muscari]

jexxa, is it bad that the mention of The Cheesecake Factory makes me think Sheldon, Penny, Leonard etc? LOL I didn't even realize it was a real chain! Cheesecake nomnomnom though mmmm.

I took mine of some time ago already.. Like addymac I have to take thm off for work, so I usually took mine off Monday morning and put it back on Friday after work (really had to get used to being wedding-ring free during the week at first! It felt so naked!). I think it was mid pregnancy already that I had some trouble putting it on easily and so I decided to leave it off till after giving birth just in case. We had it custom-made and the thought of it getting stuck and needing to be cut filled me with dread so I figured it was better to not tempt fate just in case heh. I do look forward being able to wear it again come August!! Slightly paranoid that somehow my fingers will have gotten fatter and it won't fit no more LOL but that's probably just me being silly!

[muscari]

Ahh and without any pre-planning we have suddenly started some nursery prep! Or rather pre-pre-nursery prep I guess.. we have made room for the bassinet in our bedroom and moved the large hemnes dresser from the bedroom to the bathroom which we will use as changing station.

Then my dad is on his way here with some furniture he picked up for us at the IKEA. There is plundra atm (not sure whether the sales are called that in the US stores too heh) and the local IKEA where my dad lives had our Hemnes drawer that we picked out for the nursery plus another one I had my eye set on on sale which saves us over 100$!

Yesterday we were at the hardware store and I wanted to check out some paint colors and MH suddenly seemed on board with a colored accent wall 😊 I think that would be nice as the furniture will all be white - and the walls are currently light cream (RAL9001L - so I'd like to add some color somehow.

Even thought we still need to empty out the future nursery which has been storage dump ever since we moved here almoat 5 years ago, which is gonne take some time still - this really feels like progress somehow. Or at least the start of something 😉

I haven't and I don't think I did last time around either. Although, I don't think I can at this point.

DH took off Friday and Monday. So Thursday we headed to Sesame place for a mini 2 days vacation there. It was nice and hunter did great on all the rides. This kid has no fear for a 2.5 year old. I have been battling a cold since Monday, and I think 2 days of water play has made it worse. I feel crappy today. We were suppose to head to the beach today, but instead are taking it easy. I am going to my happy place which is target.

[muscari]

cwbh928, your minibreak sounds fab. Sorry you're stuck with that cold though, feel better soon!

It was nice, but also a learning drill since it was our first time alone and away with a toddler! Thank you, I hoping to be feeling better by tomorrow!!
