Thank goodness for Moms!

I would like to begin by apologizing for my rant on Friday. I hope my friends and family realize they can always ask me anything at any time! Well, except for the weight question. I mean, what woman anywhere, pregnant or not, wants to talk about how much she weighs? You show me yours and I'll think about showing you mine. :)

Now on to my wonderful Mom! She came up on Friday afternoon, and by the time she left on Sunday we had marked so many things off my to-do list, I couldn't help but feel less stressed! We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Taylor Grocery Friday night and then it was on to Tupelo Saturday morning! We purchased the crib bedding, picked out and ordered a swivel glider for the nursery, bought a dresser (thanks again Mom!), bought paint for the nursery, new pillows for our guest room, and an accent rug for the kitchen! I thought that was accomplishing alot for one weekend, but yesterday Daniel and Mom got the nursery completely painted! Daniel finished off our weekend by vacuuming and steam-cleaning the nursery as well! whew! Talk about a productive weekend! Our changing table should be arriving today, so tonight we may try and get that and the crib put together! So much fun!

As for the other things on my list friday that were stressing me out, I'm dealing with those one thing at a time. Daniel and I are researching several other daycare options in case 'flakey lady' doesn't work out. He's helped me call places all over town and we've been to visit one place that looks promising as a backup.

Tomorrow night we have our first official appointment with our doula (aka Corinne)! I've been reading so many baby books, it will be nice to get down to the nitty gritty with Corinne! We have a baby doctor appointment in Tupelo Thursday morning, so we will also be finalizing our birth plan to discuss with my doctor. Thursday's appointment also has another 1 hour GTT, so fingers crossed that I pass it! Just found out Daniel has a conference Nov 8-11, but hopefully baby won't be deciding to come during that time! He'll only be in New Orleans, so at least he can hop in the car and drive back quick if something changes! I'm still feeling great and just love that the baby is kicking the heck out of me! Feels so good to be able to just focus on the baby instead of a list of to-do's!

Thanks everyone for your support and friendship! Thanks Mom and Daniel for being such a big help this weekend! Love you all!
