Moms are wonderful, aren't they? :) Marcelo had to go out of town on business all this last week. (Mr. I'm afraid of anything cold and wet that falls from the sky was in NYC! LOL) So, my mom came to visit and helped me get everything ready for the baby. She not only did the loads and loads of laundry that have been lying around, but she folded it, put it away, and separated all of Marc's old clothes and put them in Alex's new dresser. We hired a handyman service to come in and they moved all of our furniture around, reassembled the crib, tethered the bookcases to the wall in their new location, and a whole bunch of other stuff. We even found a second hand changing table to keep downstairs so I can stop hauling Marc up and down the stairs every time he needs his diaper changed.

The house now feels ready. Stress is relieved. She's still taking care of me after all these years. :)
