Surprisingly we are actually doing some baby prep this weekend. We got the new video monitors hung up yesterday and a place cleared in the office for baby's pack n play and dresser. Today I started putting away diapers and baby clothes. DH threw out my old breast pump yesterday and I cried even though I know it can't be used again. I was an EPer so I spent a lot of quality time with my pump for those 11.5 months.

Good afternoon!
The house was Christmasized this morning so two happy kids and a very happy mama! H went out and put our lawn ornaments out while I got a batch of pumpkin banana chocolate chip muffins in the oven. When they are done we’ll take a walk down to the rink and go skating (though I may have to finally accept being a bystander).
Tomorrow we head to the city for Brunch With Santa followed by meeting up with MIL for a walk through the Festival of Trees and probably have to do a couple other small errands while we are up there.
So yay first weekend of Christmas stuff!
Hope everyone is having a good one!

Although you guys will understand this. DH decided to treat us to McDonald's for breakfast. Well, all I was craving was a large caramel iced coffee because I just haven't been able to stomach hot coffee drink yet. He came home with a medium hot caramel latte. I looked at him and said uuhhhhh, what's that?? He started laughing. I got tears in my eyes. I was irrationally upset about it and came a bit unglued reminding him that I'm pregnant and he's lucky I'm not sending him back. He told me I need to order something easier to find on the board. Uhhh you don't have to find it, I told you.

I’ve had the worst experience with babies r us today. Had to go to 2 different stores to get a car seat (which we were told was in stock). It was definitely the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with.
We had 4 $50 gift cards from my husband’s work. One of them came up as invalid and we were told the only way to deal with it was to call customer service. He’s now on hole with him saying it has to be brought back with the original receipt. So he now has to go back to his boss and awkwardly tell him that a gift card doesn’t work. I don’t even want the $50 but I also don’t want his work to just throw away $50 because of this incompetent company.
Rant over

We got home from Thanksgiving travels last night and I slept soooooo good back in our own bed with the exception of a charley horse about 4:00 this morning. I woke up to change positions and as I moved I could feel it tighten up, but this time flexing my toes didn't stop it. OMG it hurt so bad and my calf is still sore today. I ended up sleeping until 10:00 this morning and it was glorious! We watched The Game (Ohio State vs The Team Up North) and while it was a lot closer than I would have liked the right team won! (Ohio State for those who aren't familiar with the rivalry). DH is outside doing lawn cleanup again. We had everything raked and bagged up as did our immediate neighbors, but a big wind storm came through last week and blew all the leaves from all over the neighborhood (bad neighbors who hadn't already raked up the leaves) and the yard is a mess again. I just finished cleaning up our main floor, putting away fall decorations, boxes of Christmas gifts that have started arriving, miscellaneous things that had piled up over the last week or so. We will probably start decorating for Christmas tomorrow. My friend that I inherited when I married DH (college friend of DH's) just sent me a picture of the hat and booties that she crocheted for Faith. She also made Ava a beautiful hat last year so I love that she made one for Faith too. Both will be wonderful keepsakes!

Hmmm... My picture wouldn't post in my last one, so here are the hat and booties my friend made for Faith. They will match her coming home outfit(s) perfectly, no matter which one we pick! Darn it ProBoards, why won't you work today?!?!

I'm a tad annoyed with DH. I get that he wants to be super productive this weekend because he's off. I told him to go do his outdoor projects and I'd watch DS. Well, he just informed me that we are spending tomorrow doing projects at his mom's house. Uh WTF happened to me being able to baby prep? I'll admit the amount of stuff I need to do that directly relates to baby is close to done but I see getting caught up on my grading for work just as important because who knows when I'll go into labor. Do NOT want to worry about work while in the hospital.
Maybe I'm just moody.

We are going on a random after dinner target run. I am out of chocolate milk and that’s the only place around here that sells it. I really hope they have it in stock.

Still sick over here. I've been trying to resist meds but I took Sudafed yesterday and today and of course it helps. PSA: no stores actually carry Tylenol Cold and Sinus. That is what my midwife recommended to md for my symptoms but I went to three places and none had it!
Other than that, we started putting up decorations today and I made major progress in the baby room. I think we are going to hire someone to paint it instead of doing it ourselves! I guess I better try to set that up soon...

I would be annoyed too jessijean. I'm not due until Feb 7, but when I feel like something needs to be done, I want it done NOW. Stuff related to the baby I mean and I've done most everything so far, I just need time/opportunity to do it!

I legit almost cried when DH said we couldn't go get our (live) Christmas tree until next weekend. I grew up with a fake tree and before we got married I would put mine up just before Thanksgiving so I could come home to Christmas after leaving my parent's house for Thanksgiving. DH is firmly in the "no Christmas before Thanksgiving" camp and grew up with a live tree. The last 3 years we have gotten our tree the weekend after Thanksgiving but for some reason he was being stubborn that we were "too busy" this weekend to do it.
After a short and mild argument I gave up, but as we headed home from having dinner out we did stop and pick out our tree! Our baby shower is Saturday, so next weekend would be even worse than this one. We probably won't decorate it until Monday, but at least it is here and ready to go.

Morning. It’s 5:15 here, I’ve been up since 4. Slept terribly...well not totally true, when asleep it was great but DD woke me up a ton. H has been sick but has let me sleep in this entire break so I wanted to let him sleep tonight so I went in when DD was crying at 1am and then again when she came out of her room at 4am. Little stinker had been reading books in the dark & pulled out tons of toys in her room! Soooo I’m exhausted. I’ll try to fall back asleep for another hour or two buuuuut who knows. Today my sisters go back home & I put my house back together for about three days before my parents come on Wednesday.

Good morning! I went to bed very late because I was up talking to my sister. It was a lot of fun. I actually got a decent amount of sleep too (about 6 hours.). Now we are going to get ready to go out for breakfast. My sister wants to come. She and my bil are leaving today. I don’t want them to go.

I was hoping they would just go out of business but it looks like they are restructuring. I’m in Canada and there have yet to be any talks of bankruptcy. They are literally one of the only baby stores we have. It’s shocking how many people hate them but they are still sticking around.

Morning! DS seemed to really enjoy the Christmas festival especially the live music. It was a lot of walking for me though. We are doing maternity pics this evening. I'm having trouble with what to wear but excited. I'm 34 weeks today. Home stretch!

aprilz81 DH was so pumped about that game! Really fun to watch, I sure hope JT Barrett will be back for the game vs Wisconsin. Everything I've heard so far is that he will be. The scandal from it all is that it looks like the initial injury happened during pre-game when a cameraman ran into his knee. Urban Meyer is LIVID... If it did happen then it explains the very, very slow start to the game for the Buckeyes. JT was probably trying to feel out his knee and see what it could take.
