I'm eating Chinese again since our friends came over last night and insisted on bringing us dinner to celebrate my birthday late. (Super sweet.)
Their son (H's godson) picked out my birthday present all by himself. It's a children's book called "Born from the Heart", and he liked it because it's about a red-headed woman who really wants to be a mom. I read like the first line and had to put it down because I was going to cry. Apparently neither he or his dad read the author's note that the book is actually about adoption, but it doesn't matter to me because I totally get the message behind it. The best part, though, was when the kid - 10 years old - looks me very seriously in the eye and says "Now you need to understand, this is not how babies are actually made." His mom and I just about died laughing.

H has to work tomorrow morning so I'm probably going to go get supplies to redo the dresser in the nursery. Then hanging out at my grandmas house while my aunt and uncle are in town.
Sunday there is a stakes race at our race track so that's the plan for that day.
We got an email last night that our horse might be running at Churchill in September which is really exciting. We didn't think it would be that good, and Churchill is only a 2 hour drive so we are going to go watch.

Random. Where is everyone looking for curtains? Or where should I look? I just want yellow or teal blackout curtains, but I'm not having luck. I've looked at Target and Walmart. I'm surprised BRU doesn't sell them in the colors of their sheet sets.

I like the ones without cords b/c that way when they get bigger I don't have to worry about safety proofing the cords on the blinds.

I'm surprised BRU doesn't sell them in the colors of their sheet sets. I got SUPER lucky at Pottery Barn Kids. We needed blackout shades and they had some grey ones that matched marked down to like $25 a panel. I was just in there and they were back up to $88 a panel. I don't get it. But it's worth a check just in case they're flukishly cheap or you want to spend the $$. They do seem quality, but we have only had them for a few months.

I feel bad that this baby isn't really getting anything new but I'm excited about decorating DD's new room. We might get new windows and her next room the shutters aren't as nice as the nursery ones, so I'm debating BO curtains. Good timing given the convo above.

It's funny, but in terms of a bedroom I am giving this baby everything new. I think it's because he is always going to have hand-me-downs his whole life. Like his brother was born in the same season and we already have baby toys and toddler toys. I figured the bedroom was the least I could do. But I know things would be different if I were team green or if I was having a girl this time. Just think, you'll be focusing on new things once this baby gets older and he/she is ready for a new bedroom. You'll just be doing it later rather than sooner.

Yeah still being team green, it's like I don't really want to do another neutral nursery just to decorate a big boy or girl room in a few years. Plus I loved the nursery I set up! Hehe Now the only wrench in the plan is if we have another girl, and somehow decide to have #3, because then DD2 would just share the room with DD1! lol sorry kiddo!

Ugh, I'm in a crappy mood. MH woke up DD by fiddling around in her room last night after I asked him not. He has been really fucking annoying about car buying, b/c he wants a 25Kish price point, a crossover SUV (that fits two rear facing seats) and a hybrid. Those things don't all come together. You can pick fucking two. And then I have stupid-ass work meetings all day. I'm just tired, grumpy, and pissy. But, happy Friday!

I'm sleepy. I woke with stomach problems at 1 am and then DD woke so I had to put her back to bed. Overall I was up for 2 hrs last night. And I stayed up until 10 for BB that was lame.
Nothing really planned this weekend

I had another appointment yesterday. Babies are still looking good, not a whole lot to report. I thought the glucose test I did at 18 weeks was the one and only, but it turns out that when you're having twins the 18 week test is just an added bonus. So I'll be taking another 1-hour in a few weeks. It's also still weird that I have such frequent appointments. Both an OB appointment and ultrasound the week after next.
My body is feeling all sorts of uncomfortable so I barely slept the past two nights. But we leave for Hawaii in two days so hopefully I'll be able to get some rest on vacation.
We also just finished getting everything except for the paint for our master bath reno which starts on the 28th. So this weekend we're just cleaning, packing, and my H is going to start some demo for the bathroom (since he's doing that part).

Just heard from my H we have a spot at the daycare we like booked. We are still going to look around but knowing we have something locked in is such a huge load off my mind!

I'm feeling big this week and having trouble with my left hip when I go from sitting to standing. We leave Tuesday for Disney. I hope I can power through.

They pushed my glucose test up a week to the week of Labor Day when I'll be 28 weeks. After that I start going every two weeks. 😳
My doctor is getting ready to be out of the office for two of my appointments, so I'm using that as a chance to meet more drs in her practice.
I wish we could swing another vacation but work is going to be awful until after September. I have two more vacation days to use so I think I'm just going to make a 4 day weekend at the last minute because after September I have to hold my vacation until the baby gets here.

Next appointment (Sept. 1st) is my last monthly appointment and then I start going every two weeks.

My next appointment in September is also the last monthly one.
I got a haircut this morning and we were going to get lunch but H's snoring kept me up half the night so I am back in pjs waiting for him to bring me back junk food.
