Good morning everyone! We’re up early today. MH got up with DD today but then the baby was kicking and flipping around too much and I couldn’t sleep 😑 so now I’m up too. What’s everyone up to?

I think I’m going to venture to the outlets today to try to find some maternity leggings. They have a destination maternity there and I’d like to try those on before spending almost $40 on leggings 😳 trust that I will spend that for leggings if they’re comfy enough. You can’t put a price tag on comfort at this point in the game haha

When I woke up to take my thyroid meds (I try to go back to sleep) it woke the baby up and he was doing gymnastics so no back to sleep.
We found out yesterday we are having another boy. We're going outlet shopping with my family today so I see lots of little boy things being bought.

Between the damn cat and the toddler I'm unfortunately vertical. We have a busy day ahead, but for now it's snuggles with DS and cartoons.

DD2 has two soccer games plus soccer pictures today. She is 4. Come on people, that's a lot to expect of a 4 year old in one day! On the plus side she is actually really good at soccer and it is so fun to watch her play.
Other than that we have no plans for the weekend. Hoping I can get something accomplished around the house.

DH gets home from his work trip today, so DS and I will head to the airport in an hour and a half to pick him up.
Then it's time to finish up the last few things for DSs 5th Birthday party on Sunday afternoon. I still have them make cupcakes, veggies tray, a colouring craft for the kids to do, and then make up the loot bags.

Lazy morning while DH is at work then we are finally putting up DS big boy bed. I've been putting it off forever. Yesterday MIL and I took DS to the butterfly house and then apple picking. He HATED the butterflies but couldn't get enough apples. I

I work this weekend so I stayed up late last night and am just now crawling out of bed. I don't feel very rested and a I have a headache coming on. Should make for a great day....
I need to get something to eat and then will likely just lounge for another hour or so til I have to get ready for work.
DH is working on a dog run which we have talked about since we moved here last year but this baby has finally lit a fire under us to get it done. Basically our pups are going to have access to a small fenced in area out a dog door in our den so they can let themselves in and out. Which hopefully means no waking us up at all hours of the night or crazy early in the morning to let them out. Or right as we sit down for dinner. I am so so excited it will finally be done. Now to just train them to use it well. They are used to the concept because DH's parents have one but the door is teeny tiny and our bigger dog doesn't love it. The ramp to go into the yard also kind of sucks. Which I can't blame either of them for preferring to be let out the back door. We are fixing both of those problems here!

Lazy morning. H is at work and the kids and I are hanging out. We'll probably clean/tidy up later.

I usually solo parent on weekends. It is gorgeous outside so I tried to take the kids out to play. Usually they just run around and entertain themselves but the clinginess and whininess was strong with them today so now we are back inside. I would never be cut out to be a SAHM 🙈🙈

My mom left town today after her visit. We got so much done - we moved the guest room to our empty room and decorated it, and then assembled the hand-me-down crib my brother gave us in what will be DS1's new big boy room. We also moved my maternity clothes into my closet and put hot weather clothes on the rack at the ceiling and we moved the cold weather stuff down.
I taught a class at the gym this morning, and now DS is napping, and I'm watching TV and catching up on email. Rest of the day will be low-key. MH is picking up Pei-Wei for dinner!

We’ve had a pretty eventful day so far. Made it out to the outlets to get some leggings at destination maternity (so far, LOVE!!). DD was SO well behaved and was just a little sweetheart all morning so I went to the Disney store outlet there and she picked out a Pluto stuffy and it might as well be her child. She is so cute with him.
Then we came home for lunch and she only took an hour nap, and then we made cookies to bring over to MIL. She has been super duper extra helpful lately with finagling her schedule to accommodate all my interviews I’ve been going on lately so she can watch DD. So DD and I made her her favorite cookies. We’ll be bringing those over to her shortly

We closed on a house yesterday so we’ve been moving stuff so far today. We went and wandered around the Container Store for fun, too. I think we might go look at furniture shortly.
Kiddo didn’t have much of a nap and isn’t interested in going back down so I suspect it will be an early night for him.

Hi. I am new around here - but I will just jump right in.
Today we (my husband, myself and 4 year old DD) went to a pumpkin patch with another couple and their kids. We had a great time. DD even took a much needed nap - I am finishing up dinner now and we will be eating soon.
Happy Saturday!

My husband HATES Asian takeout for some reason (it is my FAVORITE) so whenever we get takeout we order pizza 😑

This morning we just ran a few errands and then DS napped. We then went out to eat with the in-laws and MIL asked about a name for the baby. When we told her what we had picked (Lydia) she made a face and then preceded to tell us names she liked and gave us other suggestions. I told her we're not changing our mind and changed the subject but it pissed me off. She keeps saying she's been looking online but I don't care, it's not her kid and she gets no say. Sorry! Had to vent a little! Tomorrow we have soccer and then will watch football.

I usually do Pei Wei chicken or the Dan Dan noodles. I always get my Pei Wei fix when we visit my parents :-P

The bump is starting to get in the way a bit. I was trying to put sleeping DS in his crib for a nap today and just ended up bonking his head on the side. Miraculously he fell back asleep after registering his displeasure.

I had to buy a stepstool at the end of my 2nd pregnancy, otherwise the only way I could get DD1 into her crib was by dropping her a good 6 inches 😂

It is definitely getting harder to put him in there.

We had a fun day yesterday. We went to a fair in the next town over. DD loved the pig races and a dog show and we ate a bunch of junk. Today we are going to an apple festival at an orchard and getting lunch at a Greek festival.
We should be preparing the nursery and getting some stuff out of DDs room but I’m sure that won’t happen again this weekend.
I wish we had a Pei Wei here. My parents have one. DH loves the greasy Chinese take out but I always feel gross after eating it.

I am spoiled with good Chinese take out. My favorite place has been around since I was really little and they deliver to my house.
