Getting ready for the brunch/shower

It is on the 13th and we are looking forward to seeing so many of our family and friends. My mother is coming up for a week starting next Wednesday to the following Tuesday. It will be great to have another pair of hands around the house. I won't feel so guilty for wanting to, GASP, take a shower or just plain relax/nap more often.

We also have been blessed with people wanting to visit now. They are kind enough to bring things to make our lives easier, work around our schedule and leave relatively quickly. That has helped me a lot too so that I have my much needed socialization time.

We also went to a friend's birthday party today. Jackson did extremely well and was only fussy for about 20 minutes. Everyone just doted on him and were exceptionally well spoken and knew exactly what to say. I love that feeling.
