Weekend randoms

What are you up to this weekend? Any baby related projects/plans?

We dropped the kiddos at my parents early this morning and went out for a breakfast date/did some Christmas shopping. It was delightful!

No baby tasks getting done today except maybe washing some newborn clothes from the girls that can be used for DS.

Took the big kids to see frozen- one more thing I was able to cross off the pre-baby list. I usually don’t like to go out on the weekend, especially around crowds, but I was afraid to put it off and not get there.

Tonight I need to finish a cake and cupcakes for a neighbor’s birthday, that I’m attempting to freeze for her party in a couple of weeks. Another thing to get done before baby.

Tomorrow I’m going to hang the garland on the fence and deliver some cookies. Nothing too exciting this weekend.

We got our maternity photos taken yesterday and they came out great from what she showed us!

H is working on putting together the dresser today so I can start washing clothes and cloth diapers in preparation to bring baby home.

We also saw Frozen 2, and we went shopping for baby’s room furniture at some refinished stores now that the baby’s room is done! Apparently the piece we had our eye on was just sold yesterday! So we are back at square one.

And to clarify, we are looking at an older style dresser that has been refinished (so no lead paint!) to turn into a changing table. The crib will be brand new.

I saw Jojo Rabbit today. It had some very dark humor, but was a really good movie.

Nothing baby - related, except for not feeling guilty for taking any naps! Daytime naps have become my favorite weekend "activity" lately.

I just ordered the nursery furniture and bassinet. My husband feels no urgency in this. We are having a baby in two months and one week. Can we please just get this done now?! Everything left in the nursery to get cleaned out is his and it’s just sitting there. I’m so tired of nagging. I don’t mind cleaning out the room but it’s his stuff. If I had my way I would throw it all out because I love getting rid of stuff. It has sat untouched in this extra room for 18 months. Clearly we don’t need it.

I fell twice today at a bridal shower. I stupidly wore wedges and the floor was uneven. I’m totally fine but my poor MIL was super stressed about it.

I also saw Frozen 2. I took my 12 year old DD and her friends. It was cute.

We are clearing out our office to put in new flooring, paint, and new furniture. I’ve been cleaning and sorting the years worth of crafting and office junk that’s in there, but I hear ya lucky428, my husband is no help with going through his old books and papers. I swear he blames me for collecting clutter but he can’t see all the stuff that’s his (or help do anything about it). Also tempted to stay filling garbage bags;)

No baby projects yet...nervously waiting for my u/s tomorrow. Thinking about how long I can keep my secret under wraps. Trying to hold out till Christmas time but it’s hard!

It’s my birthday and my mother and her bf came to visit for the weekend instead of coming for thanksgiving. She has acted out and been dramatic and I have already cried. I’m fucking pregnant and it’s my fucking birthday and I can’t with her drama. She’s nasty to H and I just can’t. I try and try and try and she just blames everyone around her for everything. They’re supposed to leave tomorrow morning, but she already packed up her car and said they’re leaving now...yet she’s sitting and sulking on my sofa and I refuse to engage.

I must have turned a corner of some kind when it comes to some nesting instincts. I started making lists of all the baby related tasks that we need to get started on. Everything from needing to find stuff in storage to deciding on new furniture for DS to get to move to his “big boy” room. I’ve been so tired and unmotivated up till now. It’s like we hit 20weeks and something clicked in my head. I’m still tired but I’ve got some motivation at least?

DH and I had a short date night last night. We realized we desperately need to do those more often. Even if it’s just grab a quick dinner together without having to negotiate with a 4 year old over what he’s eating.
