Week of 7/2

[luv2rn4fun]

What’s going on this week! Randoms, AWs, vents

[luv2rn4fun]

We are home! It’s definitely bittersweet...we had an awesome vacation minus nobody sleeping good at all LOL. M

Today: bagels, groceries, making dinner, cleaning our house (even though I left it clean...need to vacuum, dust, etc). Probably go for a walk to the park

Tues: Regional Park, corner bakery treat, Costco

Weds: do something as a family in the morning and then go to my dads after naps. Some family will be there for fireworks as the have an ocean view and can see two cities’ shows. We will come home and watch them from our balcony (from a distance but at least it will be just DH and I...he has to work Thurs so don’t want it to be too late of a night)

Thurs: it’s my moms bday...missing her a little more than normal (even had a dream about her last night).

Sat: ILs are coming to celebrate FIL Father’s Day and my bday

It’s going to be hot this week so hoping to get outside early and be home in the afternoon (or maybe go to the library and mall if we need to get out).

[wineandcheese]

luv2rn4fun I’m glad you had an awesome vacation!

Not much going on here. Apply for jobs. Driving around to learn the area. I’ll probably go to the beach a few times. We went twice this weekend but didn’t bring our swimsuits and I want to get into the water lol.

DH has to work the 4th until 3. It’s better then him working 7 days straight. Plus since they are working the 4th, they are giving everyone a 3 day weekend.we still need to find where they are doing fireworks in the area. The guys we worked with doing fireworks want a picture of H on the beach with a drink and sparkler in hand lol.

I need to look at a 55+ apartments for my mom this week. She’s having a hard time with not being near us. The original plan was October but we are going to try to get her here sooner.

H wants to be more active so I need to research places we can go to. His back feels awesome and he wants to do stuff which is great for both of us. He even eventually wants to get bicycles.

[MrsMB]

I have a play date with a Mom I just met this weekend. Nervous about that...ha! So weird.

Other than that, WORK!

At night, I'll do a few projects for DS's birthday party that's coming up in a few weeks.

[katespade]

I actually have a kind of busy/exciting week planned.

I'm working today and tomorrow, and then I'm off for the rest of the week, which is awesome.

Today: Landscaper is supposed to show up in the next hour or so to start ripping out the disaster that is our current yard situation. It will probably take him all week just to remove everything, but I'm really excited to see the end result. Also, I'm going to go into the actual office for a few hours this afternoon, which is always fun.

Tuesday: OB appointment in the afternoon. We get to hear the heartbeat for the first time. They measured it at the NT scan but we didn't get to actually hear it, so it's exciting to know we're finally going to get to.

Wednesday: BBQ with my extended family. If everything goes well on Tuesday, we'll be announcing to them. Once they know, we'll probably announce to social media on Wednesday or Thursday.

Thursday: Day off, no real plans. We're talking about going to see a movie, but haven't decided for sure.

Friday: Hair appointment, cut and color. Looking forward to an update. I'm waaaaaaaaay overdue for color.

Saturday: No plans.

Sunday: My aunt is getting married. H has to work, so I'll be going solo.

Glad you had such a nice vacation luv2rn4fun

Our normal routine is off for awhile. I usually take the girls to library classes twice a week but they are now done until September.

M - spending time with my mom and grandma

T - either group playdate or children's museum

W- hoping DH will be of work but unsure. We'll watch fireworks from our house. We can see the city display, a person down the road a couple miles that does professional fireworks, and my crazy drunk neighbors who set them off

Th - MIL babysitting. Getting my hair cut and colored.

F - cleaning, cooking

Sa- celebration at ILs. This is the biggest thing MIL hosts all year

Su - rest!!

DH is on call this weekend as well.

[grover]

M- not much going on. Have to return some stuff to JCPenneys. Might browse while I'm there.
T- monitoring appointment.
W- movie night at home with H. We bought steaks to grill. Moose is super anxious with fireworks so we will camp out in the basement with a movie.
R- nothing. Possibly IUI day?
F- zoo. Possibly IUI if it doesn't get scheduled for Thursday.
S- Cousin's graduation party

[estrellita]

Off Wed, still unsure if we're going to do anything or just hang out at home.

This weekend is my BFF's birthday party! I'm not sure what's all happening but I know we'll go to a winery I really like. We were originally supposed to do some stuff at the place we were staying but they closed! Either way I'm super excited for a girls weekend!

[katespade]

MrsMB - I can't believe your DS is almost one!!

[HoneySpider]

Had an appt this morning and the rest of the week will be fairly normal. I have to grade my students' final papers so this is the worst week of the term for me. DH is off on Wed and we don't have much planned I think he's going to grill and we'll do some stuff around the house....I have no desire to do much more than that.

[MrsMB]

katespade RIGHT?! Time has FLOWN!!!! I've been too busy squeezing his squishy legs! Also, I don['t know if you are a crier. If so, waterproof mascara might be your friend on Tuesday, when you go to hear the heartbeat. Best.Thing.Ever.

grover ahhhh! Good luck this week!!!

[ewall]

OMG good luck this week grover! I didn't realize you guys were cycling!

luv2rn4fun glad you had a nice vacation! Although now I want some Corner Bakery We used to go all the time when we lived in HB. We don't have it here.

[ewall]

I'm driving again now that I'm two weeks post c-section. Yesssss.

Need to pick up ClickList order here shortly, then get dinner in the crockpot.

No plans for the 4th. Just grilling out burgers at the house.

[estrellita]

We now have plans for the 4th, lol. Pretty much right after I posted, H texted and asked if we wanted to go to a friend's for a cookout. Sure! We haven't seen them in a while so I'm excited!

[katespade]

MrsMB - I'm definitely prepared to be a total mess! I cried on the way home from the NT scan, just thinking about how happy I was that it had gone well. lol.

[Blue Moon]

Exciting change of plans in our week over here. MIL asked to take both kids for a sleepover Tuesday night. She wants to bring them to a 4th of July Parade that starts pretty early Wednesday morning so she thought it would be easier if she just kept them overnight. Works for me! Now H and I are going to make Tuesday a very rare date night and will be able to use Wednesday morning to get things done in preparation for our barbecue on Wednesday afternoon. MIL will bring the kids home to nap on Weds and then we’ll celebrate in our pool! No one will commit to whether they are definitely coming or not so I have no idea if I’m making food for 10 people or 20 people. Annoying but whatever.

The rest of the week is business as usual for us this summer. I’m still trying to find my groove being home full-time now and looking for an activity to get us out of the house at least once a day. It’s been amazing spending so much time in our pool but there’s only so much pool time you can have.

[Blue Moon]

luv2rn4fun So glad to hear that you guys had a good vacation. I’m sorry that you’re missing your mom extra right now. Hugs to you!

@mrsmb one year?! You’re kidding me.

[tacocat]

I'm excited to be home for the week. We had back to back trips, so this is my 3rd day at home in the last two weeks.

We're going to my parents for the 4th to swim and cookout.

We have a wedding shower Saturday for BIL and FSIL that should be fun because it's a big family thing.

Other than that I just need to work on laundry and getting my house back in order.

[tacocat]

MrsMB Did y'all get any of the bad storms last week? We were already gone, but things got bad down here. We have a couple of limbs down, but no damage. FIL told us water almost got into our garage, but thankfully didn't.

[luv2rn4fun]

MrsMB- how is H already 1!?! Good luck planning! Can’t wait to see pictures!!

katespade- hope your appointment goes well Tuesday! Hearing the heartbeat is one of my al time favorite highs from pregnancy!

grover- Wishing you a very successful IUI!

Blue Moon- yay for date night!! Have fun celebratingon Weds! Thank you too for the hugs...this time of year is always harder (starts with the anniversary of her death, MD, my bday, and then her bday).

ewall- I love CB- so does C! They gave me free sweets for my bday and “anniversary” (when I joined their club)! Excited to treat the boys and myself!

bk1- sounds like a good week! Glad your are getting out for some “me time”!

[grover]

ewall, I was holding out hope that the procedure to remove the uterine polyps cleared things out so we could finally conceive on our own. Didn't happen. RE said not to hold out hope that lightening will strike twice with the first IUI being successful again this time. I hope she's wrong!

[krystee]

I have the whole week off, and I am taking advantage of daycare the first two days this week! Today was a day of me (reading, swimming, movie in a theater, yummy food). Tomorrow is a morning of house cleaning, followed by lunch with my mom and a hair cut. Wednesday we're having our neighbors over to swim. I'll do something fun with the boys Thursday and Friday, and then my birthday is Saturday! We are having a family pool party that day with my brothers, parents, grandpa, and uncle.

[luv2rn4fun]

Happy early birthday krystee! Sounds like an awesome week!!

[wineandcheese]

Happy early birthday krystee!


grover eek! Everything is crossed for you!

Blue Moon yay for date night!

katespade can’t wait for updates! So excited for you!

MrsMB how is he almost 1 already??

[MrsMB]

wineandcheese luv2rn4fun Blue Moon RIGHT?! Feels like JUST YESTERDAY I was posting in here trying to distract myself while waiting on DH to arrive at the hospital! CRAZY!

tacocat We didn't. It rained pretty heavily, but we were OK. I'm SO GLAD water didn't get into your garage!!! Water damage can be so scary!

[pooh8402]

My mom and grandmother are in town; they got here Sunday afternoon and are leaving tomorrow. I'm working the rest of the week. No clue what DH and E are going to do tomorrow.

[wineandcheese]

I found my mom and apartment yesterday. It’s in the complex behind us. She’s beyond excited and she was already approved for it so she is moving here the beginning of September.

Tonight we get to watch fireworks instead of working a show!

[travelbug]

katespade Enjoy hearing the heart beat!

grover Everything crosses for you!!

krystee Happy Early Birthday!

[wineandcheese]

How was everyone’s 4th?

Since it started rain yesterday evening, we didn’t go see the fireworks. We ended up relaxing at home.

H says he is taking me out tonight. I’m looking forward to getting out of the house for a few hours. Job searching is making my anxiety rise and it seems all I get are “thank you but we are pursuing another candidate” emails or nothing at all. H isn’t worried about me being unemployed right now but I hate it. I’m so bored.

[HoneySpider]

We ended up doing a lot of stuff around the house yesterday, the day flew by! We went to Home Depot in the morning and it was packed, apparently everyone else was working on projects too.
