Weekend was pretty quiet, but good... we had some friends over for the game yesterday - but other than that, we were home all weekend. I did get most of the laundry & grocery shopping done, so that's a relief =)
Booooring. Sick kids + winter = lame ass weekends. We went to Target and then got Wild Willys for lunch. That was pretty much the highlight We got to Florida in 2 weeks and hopefully get out of this disease factory. CAN'T WAIT.
Enjoyed a cocktail with SCM1011 before coming back into work Friday night. I work at a University and Friday night was an event they call Winter Bash. I had to help man the bus line that would transport the students to the venue in Boston. Essentially we had to make sure no one was intoxicated or trying to sneak alcohol on the buses. It was fairly straight forward though it was seriously a parade of a lot of bad fashion choices. Like real bad.
Anyway, saturday an old friend came down to visit me which was awesome since I haven't seen her in over a year. Sunday I vegged out for most of the day til my H got home. Then we went to the gym and to the movies to see Warm Bodies. I watched maybe the last 30 mins of the super bowl with my H in bed after that.
Friday night I have no idea what we did so clearly it was not that exciting. I think we caught up on shows on DVR and ordered food, but I could be totally wrong.
Saturday we went to Ikea and Buy Buy Baby during the day and out to dinner at night.
Yesterday we slept in, went out for breakfast, and went to a Superbowl party in Somerville. One of J's friends is this gorgeous, 6 foot tall, model looking woman. She kept telling me how nobody could tell she was pregnant til 6 months and that she didn't pop until she was 8 months. She said I looked much further along than I am. Shut up, bitch.
I had an OB appointment this morning and they couldn't find the heartbeat so they had to send me for an ultrasound. It was super scary, but thankfully everything was fine.

Glad everything was OK, Rikki... & of course there are women like that - they like to rub it in. I was HUGE but somehow only gained 15 lbs & a couple of the skinny girls at work were like "that's so unfair"... uhm...I started at 20+lbs overweight when I found out I was PG =(
Rikki, I'm glad it turned out OK! That must have been scary.
Friday night DH went to practice, so it was just DD and I. Saturday I went to sit n knit and got a color consultation for a fair isle sweater for DD. Now I'm addicted to knitting it. DH and I watched a movie on demand.
Sunday was church with DD (always an adventure), then the Super Bowl. I am one happy former Baltimoron
Holy crap, rikki, that must have been terrifying! I'm so glad to hear everything is OK though. Hope the rest of your appointments are uneventful after this! And I agree with scm, you are an adorable pregnant lady and that woman needs a filter.
Oh, I randomly found a Buy Buy Baby coupon last night for I think 20% off (not sure if it's single item or total purchase, I forget). It expires in a few days I think but do you want it? If so, let's figure out a way for me to get it to you.
Thanks so much. That would be great. I am pretty sure that they accept them after they're expired as long as it is a paper coupon, not printed online. If you don't mind bringing it to the next GTG, that would be great. There are several (expensive) things we'll need to buy.
We had a productive weekend. We got a new mattress and bedroom furniture delivered on Friday (so now we finally have a grown-up room and not college hand-me-downs). The boys got bunk beds and have been playing in them ever since. I'd say it was a hit for everyone!
And vtdiamond: did I miss a post? How was the shower?
Our weekend was boring. We've both been sick, so it was all about sleeping and recovering. NyQuil is a miracle drug, we finally got some Friday night. That meant we slept 13 hrs Friday night and 12 hrs Sat night. I guess we needed that! H also napped for like 2 hrs on Sat. The most we were able to accomplish was grocery shopping yesterday and I made some chili for dinner.
Back to work! Lately I feel like all I do is work and sleep. I need to get myself more productive.
Glad to hear everything is ok with the baby Rikki. And I agree that woman sounds awful, so not nice to say. You look totally adorable and I predict you will be all belly!!

Glad everything is ok, rikki! Saturday we went to Petsi's for breakfast. Then ran some errands in Harvard sq and Inman. Kids ended up crashing for late naps around 4 so that screwed up our evening plans with friends. Sunday, we met the friends we didn't see the night before for brunch at Johnny D's. Went to an open house with them in Arlington (for them not us) and then birthday party for friends' daughter. Then had brunch friends over for superbowl and ordered chinese from Zoe's. Notice we cooked absolutely nothing this weekend.
Last night I woke up at midnight sick. Bad cold like sick. Nothing horrible. But being the lazy bastard I am I texted Tony at midnight and asked if he could be here at 8 am. I am still in bed.
The weekend was ok..had to go to my husband's uncle's funeral which was in Manchester so that took up a lot of the weekend. But we had friends over for the Super Bowl and got in a couple of episodes of Downton Abbey which was nice (season 2, we're behind!).

We cleaned, thrilling stuff. Between his and my work schedules we only have every other weekend home together so we try to be productive. I did get to grocery shop by myself and DH took the kids to the store with him Sunday so I had about an hour at home to myself. I made a sleep sack, my 2nd ever finished sewing project
