to stop getting sucked in by cute animal pictures.....
to spot love in all the right places..........
to be able to eat all of these adorable cupcakes..........
that you will all make weekend wishes even when i'm on "baby leave".......
to figure out why i keep finding myself longing to dye my hair red again after the baby is born....
to jump around and frolic with my hubby to celebrate the end of tax season....

today is a special day. we love april 30th in our house. it's the end of tax season, the end of lonely nights without my hubby coming home from work until 2:00am, from my daughter telling me she misses daddy 3 times a day, to me crossing days off the calendar until this day comes along....the list goes on. all in all, it's a happy day in our house.
yesterday i got to experience having a maid come clean my home for the first time in my life. it was needless to say, fabulous!!!! thanks for the pressie honey! it was great to sit and not worry that i can't bend over anymore to scrub my tub, or clean my kitchen floor or that i couldn't stand to not be able to keep the house all together on my own anymore. little bean - it's a good time to come now! the house is clean and dad's home from work till tuesday!
i'm now on the home stretch coming up on 40 weeks next week. the braxton hicks are still vying to be my clingy best friend, keeping me in pain and up all night but not helping me to dilate any farther than 1 cm! damn you! i'm staying positive though and hoping the wee one doesn't need to be induced like my first girl. your big sister really wants to meet you and so do we, so come on out and join the family!
i'm excited for you to all join in on the "babyhood bonanza" starting next week. I'll be busy this weekend getting things organized here on the site, getting my deck all flowered up with pretty lovelies, yummy herbs, cushions and all other spring/summer decor that makes me long to sit outside and sip mojito's, mackenzie's going to little league with dad and i get the house to myself for 2 hours!!!! sounds pretty good to me.
what are you lovely ladies up to this weekend? are you getting ready for the warmer weather? any plans to enjoy some "me" time without the kids this weekend?
Happy weekend to you! How fun to have a maid service come to your house! I'm not pregnant, but I would looooooooooooove that. Hope the little one comes soon for you. Enjoy your hubby :)
ReplyDeleteI had major BH for weeks leading up to the smallest's birth. It was hard trying to figure out when to send the tallest off. The mamas I know who've had two (or more) weren't able to get labor moving well until their other child(ren) were out of the house or asleep.
ReplyDeleteI hope you go into labour on your own. I was able to fend off an induction with my first by saying "we'll talk about that next appointment" until I didn't need to anymore.
Best wishes!!
I have been itching to get my bike tuned up and go for a ride with my daughter who just learned to ride without training wheels!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sending prayers your way for a non-induced labor! Not much longer!
Oh, and I'm sooooo jealous- a maid!!!
Oh how I wish I could ride my bike again too! Unfortunately it is SNOWING again today! Where is my Spring weather?! Maybe I will take this cold wintery day as an excuse to get some sewing done. :) So glad your hubby is home and you don't have to have anymore lonely nights for a while. Lots of squats helped me get going with the last baby. It was purely by accident. We were over at our new house putting some finishing touches on it and I was squatting down, putting on outlet covers. Early next morning I was ready to go to the hospital. Good luck!!!!
ReplyDeletemaid service! fantastic! I'll be sending weekend wishes to you that involve going into labour on your own and a speedy and "easy" labour. Looking forward to the babyhood bonanza and hearing all about your new little person :)
ReplyDeleteYay for the end of tax season!!!! It is also a special day over here in the Johnston home. Thankfully my hubby was able to avoid getting too sucked in this year, but there were many lonely evenings for me! I commend you for staying strong and making it through. I don't think I could do it with a 3 year old and one on the way!! Let's hope I never have to.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the going into labor without an induction! I'm right there with you!!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYay for April 30th! My husband has also been working until 2am every night and I am saying tax widows and orphans rejoice! It's over for another year! Enjoy your weekend and best wishes for a speedy and healthy delivery!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY WEEKEND!
ReplyDeleteIt's my red hair right?
Jessica - Thanks hun! You too. The maid service was a great gift...too bad it was a one time only deal :)
ReplyDeleteKathy - Thanks for the tip about the other kids in the house.
Jenny - Awww, no training wheels! That's fabulous!
Mauri - Snow! Yuck! I feel for ya. I hope you're feeling well. You look so cute! I'm gonna try that squatting thing out once I'm overdue.
Teresa and Trish - Yippee for us Tax Widows/Orphans!!! don't you ladies think we need a support group for all of us during the last 2 months of hell??? I'm glad we can all celebrate the end of it together :) Three Cheers for april 30th!!!!
Caitlin - Thanks hun!
