It's me again

I know...I am hugely inconsistent when it comes to blogging...which can't bode well for me or my readers. And I know I would be really a...

Long weekend Plan

I am excited for the long weekend, I get out of work early tomorrow and then I get Friday off, if I wasn't so preggers I would drive my car to visit the fam but 6 hrs in a car at this stage of the game is not an option. I do have some plans for the weekend though since I will have sometime.

Since my little bean will be here in 4 weeks and I am completely unprepared.
I will be washing his clothes so that we can pack him something in my hospital bag, getting a car seat- Babies R Us is having a 25% trade in event that I will be taking advantage of. Will need to pull out the bassinet and changing table at the MILs so that he has his own space. I went through all the baby shower items and my little guy really cleaned up. I am also going to buy my breast pump this weekend with the gift cards we got. So excited...Things aren't perfect but my little guy won't know that he's just going to be adjusting to things on the outside and seeing the faces of the voices he's been listening to for so long...I am really getting excited.

Other plans for this weekend - maybe the beach. Especially if hurricane Earl holds off. Me and a few coworkers are thinking about going to the beach...but now people are talking about asking people to maybe stay out of the water on Friday...if that happens then I will just stay home and do baby stuff and look for a new car.

Other than that this weekend is about making room for baby at MIL and looking at homes. And then if we are lucky a small cookout of some type.

What do you all have planned for the long weekend.

Weekend happenings

Last weekend was jam packed.

Hubby and I took Friday off, originally we were supposed to go to the beach but then decided to use the day to run errands and get stuff done.
I just have to mention that hubby was a Marine, so anytime he is in charge our life is scheduled by the hour and it's all about getting things done. Sigh...I hate that. So Friday he had a list of things that need to be done and a deadline. In the am he allowed me to sleep in and then I did some pregnancy yoga...

On a side note my hour of yoga was great but it also made me realize just how out of shape I am and just how tight my quads are...sigh...I want to try to get 3 sessions in a week so that I can open up my pelvic area and to stretch out the kinks I have in my back... but I digress...

In the afternoon it was go go go...we went to finally do a baby registry at Babies 'R' Us. It was a bit much, I couldn't decide on a crib and then we had to pick a swing, a jogging stroller and all these other things for my little Jelly Bean that I honestly have not had the time to research or think about. We did ok but I am sure we missed a ton of things. So I will have to go through the check list they provided. It took all afternoon to do the registry and we only went to the one store and then a target run. Then hubby had to go help out at church and I went to get a mediocre pedicure...

Sat - as always is one of more lax yet busy days...with church and church activities that sometime last all day. I will have to tell you all about some crazy stories I heard on Saturday.
Then Sat night, I started cooking for the week, lentils and a veggie lasagna then we hung around the apartment.

Sunday, was the big day...we had a home inspection scheduled on the house we intend to buy. A very quaint split-level. I am excited about the house...it's not as new as I would like but it has some cute accents like exposed beam in the breakfast nook and a good size back yard for the kids and my garden... Also, I was able to start envisioning the room I want for my little man. Which includes a tree stencil...anyone know where I can get on...I know I saw one online a while ago or was it on HGTV or extreme home makeover...it was a tree stenciled around a window...loved it.
Also, while hubby was out trying to fix his car Sunday morning. I got some clean up and packing done...allowing my nesting urge to be active for just a few hours...of course after all that I was beat and ready for bed by 9:30...

I love having Friday's off...love spending time with hubby although he drives me crazy...and of course being able to shop, albeit window show, was fun as well.
