My plan this week is to try not to stab anyone in my office and keep from jumping off the roof.
Then off to a wedding in Chicago this weekend.
Today I have to figure out when I can run over to SOS because DH forgot to renew his registration and today is his birthday. Tonight we will go out to dinner and have some yummy cake I bought from a really good bakery.
The rest of the week is work and hopefully jogging a bunch. I really need to get it together.
Find out what we're having on Wednesday afternoon.
And I think DH will actually get to be there so we can find out right away together!
Try a prenatal yoga class Thursday night.
Find an electrician to install ceiling fans.
Start making the babies' room slightly more livable. Their room was in the worst shape out of all three bedrooms and I've worked my tail off on it. Now it just needs a thorough cleaning.
My only plan this week is Morgan's 1 year pictures with Amy on Wednesday!!! I can't wait:) Still trying to figure out what she is going to wear...

Sat/Sun: Grocery Shopping and I need to look for a new daycare.
I have the anatomy scan on Wed! Other than that, just yoga tonight, grocery shopping and cleaning up around the house.
We've had a house guest for the last 2 1/2 weeks (my BIL) and he's coming back tomorrow - this will hopefully be his last week with us. He's a super sweet guy and I'm happy to help him out but really didn't expect to have him with us for so long. It's starting to get tough.
Planning to go running at least twice this week and go to a couple yoga classes too. Now that it's getting warm and shorts are coming out I'm realizing how much weight I've put on over this winter...Not a good thing!
Next weekend is the start of the busiest birthday week in my family & friends so we'll be visiting with a bunch of people for sure.
We have a light week again! This is our last full week of work for the school year and DH and I are so excited to be home with DS!

Tuesday- dumpster diving with some friends lol
Weds- possibly go to Lorna's to look at molds for DH's cousins grad party...we're making the cupcakes

Weekend - delivering this baby!!!
I also need to re-visit my hospital bag as I didn't do it this weekend.
So excited for you!!! You're still Team Green, right?
Today I had my last mom's group before the summer break for us, we met at the park & just played. Now i'm just trying to unpack everything
The rest of the week is pretty open, just unpacking, doing laundry, relaxing from vacation. Will need to do DS's 1 yr pics this week, then repack as I'm off again to Chicago next week.
