Re: QOTD
Tonight - Cousin who is home on leave is coming over for BBQ tonight with his fiance.
Saturday - Tons and tons of nursery things. Trip to BBB for the last of what we need, dh is installing the closet organizer and new closet doors, general clean up (mostly dusting and picking up the random tools in there), & second coat of paint. Next week all the decor goes up (with the exception of the decal that will have to wait a bit longer). It's finally coming together!!
Sunday church and breakfast then I lose dh to the in-laws for a while (I am pretty sure I won't be feeling well around the time he leaves so won't be able to go with him
) so some reorganizing of the kitchen cabinets for the baby and house cleaning. A possible visit to my sisters for a few hours if she will come get me since I am carless.
Monday hanging out with dh and some desperate landscaping that needs to be done. Probably BBQ some steaks.
Doing a whole lot of relaxing.
Tonight: Going to see Bad Teacher.
Tomorrow: Nothing fun planned. Baking cakes for Cake balls
Sunday: Finishing Cake balls and heading to Buffalo. Hopefully going to see Transformers on the IMAX Screen.
Monday: 4th party at DH's cousin's as usual. Hoping his one cousin that is going through a divorce is not going to be there. I have blocked him on facebook after he told me one night a few weeks ago that he has an 11/12 yr old daughter that most of the family doesn't know about, and he hasn't seen since she was a baby. He's been in and out of inpatient mental facilities since Feb and was finally allowed to see his 2yr old son Mem day weekend. His STBEx had a order of protection on him and he wasn't allowed to see his son for months. This of course didn't help the depression. But DH has doubts about everything he is telling me and he has no filter and doesn't realize that he was putting me in a very awkward position. So yeah I really hope he isn't going to be there. I don't need a Debbie Downer to rain on my 4th!

Today - Getting out of work 2 hours early
. Going to a happy hour. Probably working on the nursery later tonight (very exciting Friday night).
Tomorrow - mani and pedi in the morning. Hopefully finishing the nursery.
Sunday - Decided to get maternity pics done. Hopefully they turn out ok. No clue what we're doing after that.
Monday - Annual 4th party at my parents' house. No jetski rides for me this year though.
Is it the kind of Happy hour with really awesome free food? I love those, we use to hit up a few of them at my old job, I miss those days.
Pedi huh? I know a few people that swear up and down within 24-48 hours of a pedi they were in labor.
I hope there's free food! I think there will be
I don't think I'll be seeing any labor action following my pedi. As a matter of fact, I went for my checkup on Monday and when I told the doc that my next appt was on July 6th, she told me to cancel it and just come to the next scheduled appt, which is the 12th. I interpreted that as "you're going to be pregnant forever so there's no point in seeing you again any time soon."
I know but still........ you never know.
I've had a few pedis since being pregnant have not had so much as a cramp or twinge during or after. There is one spot in your ankle (between the ankle bone and heel tendon) they can massage that is said to trigger labor but they would have to massage it a lot longer than what they do during a pedi.
I think there is a 'after a certain number of weeks stipulation'. Not a perfect science by and means. LOL I totally don't buy it but some of the girls on my local (after 36 weeks) went into labor after a pedi.
Could be true. That would make sense. I know I asked my OB about getting them and she said it was fine all the way through.
I have had friends who actually tried a pedi to go into labor and never worked for any of them.
Tonight: Leaving for TN this afternoon. Going to my parents and getting to see my doggies.
Tomorrow: Cookout at my grandparents house with a bunch of family.
No other strict plans but I know at some point we are getting an ultrasound, I am getting a haircut, visiting all our family in town, trip to our favorite used book store, cookout at my dads, probably going to to the lake and seeing fireworks at some point.

Today we're getting my truck detailed, going to the barn to pay for my horses board, and grocery shopping. I want to go on another walk, maybe I'll wear her and walk to old town and around and home. It's just over a mile one way. The walk all depends on her mood though...
Tomorrow we're helping my mom and step dad move stuff around his old house, before he tries to rent/sell it.
Sunday, nothing! Whoo!!
The 4th, Dh works so Im going to my mom and step dads condo, where theyre having a small get together, for dinner and to watch the fireworks from their balcony.
I'm a breastfeeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, anti-CIO Mommy

Dani, I'm so happy you decided to get them! You'll look beautiful! I can't wait to see them!
The nest burped and double posted so I'll make this second one my response.
Today: going to Target
Saturday: Going down to FIL's at the lake and maybe taking Campbell out on the boat (slow, pontoon boat) and hopefully cooking out. No fireworks for us.
Sunday: Coming back home and grocery shopping.
Monday: Cook out at MILs house
Today - Picked up a few things to finish the basement project. I finished painting the bathroom door and Drew installed the new outlets.
Saturday - Drew has to work a little bit in the morning. Once he gets home, we'll work in the basement to get things finished up. I wanted to get all the odds and ends finished and maybe start cleaning it if there's time.
Sunday - SIL, BIL, and nephew are arriving Saturday night, so we'll probably spend most of the day at the ILs house visiting with them.
Monday - More visiting. We'll probably spend a little bit of time working on house stuff. Oh, and I start the PIO shots in preparation for the FET.
