You girls are so awesome!! Thank you so much for your support!! So, I have really good news! My brother is coming out the day after my mom gets out of the hospital and is staying for the two weeks that she needs someone with her. I will only be responsible for driving her to doctors appts and helping her with her brace. I am so relieved. I almost feel guilty for being so pleased about it. But I know that it is best for me and baby.Probably, my husband would have liked it better if I would be gone for a while! I have not been sleeping well at all and I worked my butt off this week! Great week! Big things happening! But, on the flip side, wow am I freaking exhausted! Last night, Valentine's Day, I get home at 9:30 and I am immediately revolted by the state of the house. My mother gave me that gift that I FINALLY accepted! She paid for me to have the house cleaned today! So last night is the night I freak out about the pigs we are and how is this poor woman going to clean around the clutter? And I wasn't nice. This morning, I got out of bed when the alarm went off which has been super hard because I am awake so much during the night, but I threw all the clothes in the closet, cleaned up the kitchen a little, and stacked the mail and the magazines...Let's summarize: I LOVE BASILIA!!! SHE IS A CLEANING GODDESS!!!!My house is beautiful! I was investigating and thought that the floors might have been missed but then I opened the fridge and she had taken everything out and wiped down all the shelves and I think the floors are beautiful too! It smells good and I am soooo happy!! I think I will be so much nicer to my husband now! It is raining outside and it cold by Arizona standards and now I can crank up the heat and lay with the dogs that don't seem to stink as much even though I don't think they have been washed but maybe DH did it and I haven't been home long enough to realize it! OK, so I have a volunteer commitment from 9:30-1:30 on Saturday but it's at an art festival so that is always fun (except today when we were trying to sell wine tickets in the rain!) and then I get to come home and enjoy my lovely clean house.OK, so, baby seems fine! Had my last U/S with RE on Monday and it was a little sad saying bye for now but he is very close friends with the OB he recommended and he told me some stories that made me feel grea about going to him. Then, a few days later, my friend asked me who my OB was and when I told her she freaked out!! "I LOVE HIM!! I met him when my friend was having surgery and I liked him so much, I switched! He looks like Magnum PI!" Haha! So, it must be a good thing. I will let you all know after Wednesday!HUGS AND BABY DUST AND LOVE TO ALL!

Yeah, clean house! I am thinking about getting a maid, myself, so I am glad that you had such a great experance with one! Have fun at the art show and I am glad that things are going better!
Hello! Just checking in on a couple of friends here tonight. That is awesome about your house getting cleaned. Woohoo! I love the feeling of a clean house!
Have a fun weekend! Good luck at your first OB appt, let me know how it goes!
Say hi to baby for me!!! :)
You crack me up! I love the Magnum PI thing.
I know how a dirty house can make anyone crazy! It\'s not healthy for you or the baby either; have you ever watched that TV show \"How clean is your house\"? YIKES! I\'m really glad that burden is off your shoulders anyway!
OH, and I\'m glad that your not going to push your luck with trying to care for your mom too. Thank goodness for siblings! I\'m glad that your brother stepped up to the plate and took the load off of you. I was concerned about you trying to take care or your mom, yourself, and baby.
Now, sit back and enjoy your pregnacy, and clean house!
Woot Woot for a clean house. Do you think I could borrow her. Pwetty pwease!!!
I am so envious of the whole cleaning lady thing! I clean our house right now (2300 square feet) and i hope once i get pregnant that DH will agree to hire the cleaning lady that my brother uses!!! All in good time, i suppose :) Any how, i am glad that you and baby are doing well. You sound like you\'re very busy these days but try to remember that you and baby\'s health is your #1 priority and everything else should play a backseat to it. Baby dust and keep writing and filling us in on your mom\'s recovery, you, baby and anything else.
I am so happy to hear that your brother is coming out. It sounds like you need some much needed R&R. I need a cleaning lady! Does your girl travel to Chandler or does she mostly stay in Scottsdale?
