When my doctor told me that I was already at a 2 and showing multiple other signs of prelabor last week I went into a panic mode. In no way was I ready for Mia to come. I went home and started washing everything-all of her little clothes, blankets, towels, and sheets. My friend Marni came in town to help me buy all of the last minute items and necessities that would help me get through the first couple of weeks. I felt much more prepared after her visit and spent that night playing with all the new stuff. The next day, I found myself cleaning...possibly nesting. After cleaning the outside windows of our house and sweeping the sidewalk, I decided that I should probably start putting up the Christmas decorations just in case. So yes, I broke the "wait till after Thanksgiving" rule. When I ran out of decorations, I started baking. As I hustled around the house the whole day being oh so productive, Kelsey remained at the table studying for his pilots exam without noticing the major progress I was making. He was in his zone and I was in mine. That night, I went to bed knowing that if Mia were to arrive the next day, it would be OK.
