TGIF

I'm so cranky at work today. Idk why but people are driving me bonkers and I'm so ready to just be done but still here....no signs of labor.

Anyway, any good plans for the weekend?

Tomorrow, I've got a prenatal massage that I seriously cannot wait for. Then we're going to pack hospital bags (even though I've said that for weeks) and hopefully install car seats. The to-do list is slowly dwindling :)

Sunday, we're supposed to do mat pictures but I think it may snow here...again. I really am over winter and cold and snow. Not sure if we'll try to reschedule or if we'll just go with it.

Tonight DH is working a double so I'm going to hit the mall quickly to try to determine what I really want to wear for said mat pictures and then probably play with my hair because I failed to make an appointment to get it curled, etc for the pictures. We shall see how it goes.

Re: TGIF

  • I have a love hate relationship with not working right now. I love it because my body is so sore and swollen so it's nice being home. BUT, I hate being home and trying to stay busy. I am not the type of person to watch TV all day. So today I am trying to clean a bit and maybe go out for a drive into town.
    Tonight we might be doing dinner with one of DH's friends.
    Tomorrow BIL is coming over to help move things with DH and I am really hoping DH pulls the stick out of his a$$ and asks BIL to help with a little construction. T-minus 2 weeks until baby we need to get everything possible done!!
    My weekend will probably consist of me bossing people around and eating.

  • I took the day off to relax. It's my birthday tomorrow and I want to have a low key weekend. We might go to the movies later and H said he'd take me shopping, but not sure if that will be today or tomorrow.

    Tomorrow, my mom wants to take me to get a mani pedi with her and later in the evening, H and I are having a date night.

    Sunday, we're going to brunch with some friends, my parents and brother.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • I just have to rant a bit.... We have about an inch of snow, and no one knows how to drive in Dallas. So I left work about 11:45 and got home at 1pm. Usually a 20 minute drive. As I was pulling into the neighborhood DH's mom texted that they are meeting with the Dr about grandma at 4pm, and probably pulling the ventilator. She has been on it all week, and they do't know how she will respond when they take her off of it. So we decided to drive to Ft Worth to be there and see her. Since I was 10m east of DH who is 30m east of where we need to go, we decided I would drive to him then we would go together. I leave w/in 30 minutes, drive all the way to his office (now 2:30), then MIL texts again. Says the roads are to bad, before we leave she is deciding to do this tomorrow morning. Well it is supposed to sleet in the morning (and I had already been driving for an hour). DH calls her, and she says nope, decision made. So I got to turn around, drive back home, and got here about 4. Basically, I was in the car from 11:30-4 driving in this mess. Ugh.

    I have no problem driving out there, but MIL being so clueless and indecisive is really driving me bonkers. Thanks for letting me rant.

    @sewilson33 once the baby gets here, I'm going to want your final opinion on taking the time off early. I can leave up to 4 weeks pre-birth that is not transferable to after-birth, and I can't decide if I should or not. Basically the two scenarios you mentioned. Really curious to hear what you think!

    @mrshall1027 - happy birthday

    @simsk3887 & @ sweetpotato123 - I hope you both get to do your mat photo's Sunday! How fun!

  • Happy birthday @mrshall1027!

    @sweetpotato123 - You have a busy weekend! Hope you get to do your pictures and enjoy your shower.

    @Sewilson33 - I'm sure I'd go stir crazy as well but I'd kill for sleeping in a little (aka laying in bed not moving for a bit longer) and some down time.

    @mseale - Sorry about your grandma and about the weather. I hope you get where you need to be safely in the morning.
  • @mseale - I just finished week 2 of pre baby leave. It has definitely been amazing having time alone and being able to organize all my baby stuff. I will let you know my final decision once she arrives. I certainly hope it's sooner than later!

  • No maternity pictures for me today...rescheduled for next Sunday when hopefully no rain or snow will be falling from the sky. I'm so over winter and wanted more fancy city chic pictures so soaking wet hair just won't do that for me. So glad my cousin/photographer is so understanding and flexible.
  • @simsk3887 - bummer, but glad you do have a flexible photographer who can reschedule.
