Well, my mom left yesterday to go back to her own life.  She was here for two months.  It was great.  She is great.  So generous and sweet.  She did so much for us while she was here.  Cooking, cleaning, laundry, folding, organizing, rocking babies, grocery shopping, hanging out with me, emotional support, I can't describe.  We are so lucky to have her.  I wish we lived closer together at least.  I'm going to miss her.

We also got addicted to the tv series Lost together.  We watched the first three seasons on DVD together in between all that house and childcare.  It was really fun to get so into it and be able to talk about our new addiction.  I had no idea it was so good!

Mom's here!  She arrived last night.  She's about a week ahead of the baby.  Baby should be here between the 12th and the 14th at some point.  Could be exciting if it is the 13th because that's the Mister's birthday as well.  And Mother's Day I believe.  If he doesn't come before the 14th on his own, I'm being induced that morning at 9 am.   I'm hoping to avoid that.  As big as my belly is he's not really dropped yet and so he's got some moving to do. 

I've got to finish up 3-4 main things at work this week.  And then that's it for a while. 

Mom's got to get me organized here at home.  We've got to go through baby clothes and figure out what we've got and if there's anything we need.  We've also got to figure out how to keep all these baby clothes straight.  I doubt there's really anything to buy at this point (I bought a pack of newborn diapers already), it's just about getting everything figured out and ready for him.

Monkey is amazing and completely OBSESSED with the mister.  Just insanely attached to him.  Poor Da Da can't do anything without the monkey either following him around or telling him what to do.  Obsessed, I tell you.  I am often chopped liver and the mister is the only one who will do.  Not a bad thing, but pretty intense for the mister. 

So we're about 10 days out now.  Can't wait!
