This Week Has Kicked My Butt

I'm just going to go ahead and say this: I was not made to work a Monday-Friday job. 

Five days in a row of work is just not my thing and I respect those who do it so much! This week was a 5-er, and granted three of those have been 12 hour shifts, but still...my butt is sufficiently kicked. 

I'm off Saturday and I most likely will not wake up until 12 pm. And I can't wait. 

A few things making me happy:

Oh, just a BABY CAR SEAT! : ) Is it too early to put it in my car? Just kidding...not really. 

Sweet friends who are pregnant with me! Casey is 23 weeks, I'm 15. 

Fresh highlights. Hello pretty hair. 

One of my BFFs just found out the gender of her baby yesterday and they are having a reveal party tonight. It has been so fun being pregnant with my friend Kay. It's nice to have someone who knows exactly what you are going through! I'll be sharing pics on instagram (@mackeymadness). 

And if you'd like to read one of my most embarrassing moments, go here. But don't laugh at me.

Working M-F stinks sometimes, but I do love having the weekends open :) It's tough when you do 12 hour days, though!! Enjoy your time off, and yay for a car seat!!! xoxo

Put your car seat in todayyyyyy!!!! Hahaaa, I think that is sooo cute!!! You and Casey are adorable and your highlights are perfect!!!!! I think I need to see them in person. :) and I totally agree. Husband has been working the last 8 of 9 days and MY butt is kicked. I asked him the othe day, 'do you realize how long a 12 hour shift is?!?!?!' He just looked at me and said, 'no, Lis. Tell me how long it is..' Hahahah!!! I'm just saying! Wih 2 kids at home, it's looong! :))) love youuuuu!

Samantha said...

Love the car seat. I remember wanting to put mine in so bad when I was pregnant lol. Hope you have a relaxing weekend.

i don't comment frequently but i just have to say that you are stinkin' cute... i hope you take that as the compliment that it truly is! congratulations on your pregnancy... your post about the miscarriage was heartbreaking. oh, and the teacher that made a first grader *hold it* should be shamed! as for me, i tripped up the steps of my church while walking to the stage to sing... was about 12 and at my advanced age (44) i can still remember the details. happy relaxing weekend to you!

Vanessa said...

your car seat is adorable!! it looks like a chicco...? we have one & loved it! I love hearing & seeing your pregnancy photos. you're glowing, lady! :)) rest up as much as you can... your body needs it! much love.

lori said...

aww the car seat!! i love how excited you are... seriously. so cute.

and so fun that you are pregnant with two friends! i am hoping that happens with me, it just makes it so fun to experience together!

californiadreamin said...

Oh yes the car seat! I was SOOO excited about that baby and wanted to put it in ASAP. I bet you'll be like me and even get excited when your baby is a toddler and you get a new carseat to fit him/her.

Lindsey @ Let the Light Shine said...

12 hour days would be no joke - I don't know how you do ONE, much less three or five!

Love the car seat and the fact that there will be a sweet baby there before you know it!

Beth Ann said...

Love the carseat! Did you get the whole travel system or just the seat? I wasn't made to work M-F either. ;) What are you doing working so much?! Anything above and beyond three 12's is cray-cray!!! Especially for a pregnant mama! ;)

Erin said...

I'm not cut out for Mon-Fri jobs either girl... and in my busy season (NOW!) I work much more than that. Today is actually day 12 in a row of work with me. Looking forward to a day off tomorrow, FINALLY! I need to get rich another way and be able to stay home ;)

Btw- LOVE that carseat. I love that it could be boy OR girl, super cute :)

Allyson Butler said...

What a sweet car seat! I think gender neutral is definitely the way to go - that way you can use it for Bunny's brothers and sisters! How exciting that you get to be pregnant with your friends. That is such a blessing.

Sara @ Seeing Purple Stars said...

love the colors on your baby carseat! I tried putting alex's baby car seat in the car before he was born and nick thought i was silly. lol!!! :-)

Emily grapes said...

I officially despise working an 8-5 m-f job, myself! I hated it approximately 1 week after starting my new job! ;(

Rebekah said...

You are seriously the cutest! The car seat is pretty exciting!

Lauren said...

I worked M-F 8:30-5 before having the baby and can I just tell you how much I LOVE my new MTF schedule...having those 2 days off in the middle of the week are fabulous! Not to mention the fact I get to spend them with baby girl!

Sarah said...

I just came across your blog and I absolutely LOVE it! Super cute :)

Julie said...

I think those reveal parties are fun. I may do that when it comes to be my turn!

Amy said...

Ahh a gender reveal party!! I can't wait until YOUR gender reveal :)

Amanda Wissmann said...

I kind of miss my mon-fri job...but I did work at a summer camp, so it was pretty awesome. Other than THAT job, I hated Mon-Fri work weeks.

I ADORE that car seat! and if we had a car I would totally have a car seat in it already! So, no judgement here!

YAY pregnant friends! I'm pregnant with several friends right now...but none of them live in Peru. {sad}

Ohhhhh reveal party! So fun!

Enjoy your weekend!!!!!

Kayla said...

I just laughed again reading your post you did for me.

Thanks again love!!!!

Faith said...

Such a fun post!

I hope that when I am preggo in the future that I am with some great friends :)

Put the car seat in, hehe.

Have a great weekend!

The Yarbrough's said...

Your hair looks great!!

Candi said...

Awww, you're so cute with the car seat. As for the reveal party, a friend of mine just did the cutest thing. She had the cake made the color of the sex of the baby & no one knew what it was until they cut into the cake. Super cute. And of course I haven't had a baby in a long time so maybe that's not new, but I thought it was really cute!

Michaela said...

Yay for highlights! And double yay for car seat. Cute color!!

nicole said...

are you planning to find out??? can't wait :)

Shelley said...

Last summer I was pregnant at the same time as a bunch of my friends too. It was a lot of fun! And now our babies are the same age too :)

Allison said...

Aw that's so fun to be pregnant at the same time as your friends. I'm crossing my fingers that works out for me someday. :) And I just read your embarrassing story and was laughing so hard. You are adorable.

Alyssa said...

How fun that you two are pregnant at the same time!! That's awesome!

Mandy said...

How much fun. We were waiting it out to see if anyone bought us larger things like our carseat. Some family ended up giving us money and we went today and picked up our infant car seat. I was debating if I wanted to put it in my car yet. lol. Your is cute!

Kristin said...

I love the car seat!! I can't believe it is almost time for you to find out what you are having!!

Pamela said...

That's so exciting that you have another pregnant friend to go through similar stuff with!! Have fun at the party!!

Janna Renee said...

That's amazing that y'all are bothpregnant!! You need a break girl!

Lisa @ MMT said...

I love that car seat! Such cute colors. It's so fun having a friend who is pregnant with you. Someone in the same situation and someone to share these special moment with.

Holly said...

I could not imagine working 12 hour days. I think I would die. 8 is enough for me :O

Lauren said...

I slept till 12:00 today. No shame! :)

Fran said...

I would quite possibly die if I had to work 12 hr shifts. 8.5 hr shifts kill me already haha.

Courtney B said...

LOVE your car seat!! Ah! I can't wait until we buy ours :)
It is so fun to be pregnant with friends! Once again, I'm SO glad you and I are going through it together!! Love you (and your pretty new hair) :)

Kristen said...

I'm sorry your 5-er week was rough. Congrats on your pregnancy tho! And it's so much fun having someone with whom to share the experience! One of my best friends Julie was 12 weeks ahead of me, and now our girls will be only 8 weeks apart! It really is a wonderful experience!

The Heart Of A Woman said...

Awe Megan I love being preggers with you!!! I wish I could be at the reveal party! Love you! You look beautiful!

Emily said...

Love the car seat and I think you could put it in your car whenever you want-its sweet that you are so excited. I would be too! How did you decide what seat to go with, there are SO many!!! Did you get the travel system or just the seat?

Aimee R. said...

i hope i have the blessing of being preggo with a good friend LOL. Looks like you are having SO much fun and I am so happy for you!

natasha {schue love} said...

We have the same carseat...love!!!
