I'm buckled up and ready for the ride!

Today the count down begins!
In just one month's time I will have (Lord Willing):

• given birth to my baby girl
• welcomed my Korean parents for a one month's stay with me this summer
• become enrolled in a one-year on-line course for full medical specialist certification
• celebrated my son, Noam's, 2 year birthday!
• finalized my divorce papers
• gone to court twice for hubby related charges...(ugh)
• started looking for work again!

Before baby and parents come, I need to have the following available/complete:

• a name for my baby!
• an additional nursing bra (too much information?)
• at least two nursing tops (ok. this is for mere convenience only, but boy does convenience in this area really going to count with a house-full of people I will need frequent privacy from for feedings!)
• 4 D batteries for baby swing
• package of the new Huggies Pure and Free newborn diapers with special umbilical cord cut out (I have a $3 off coupon!)
• my car cleaned thoroughly
• my living room carpet and couch/loveseat steam-cleaned
• A/C Unit installed in the window
• living room furniture re-arranged
• box-spring and mattress brought up from the basement for my parents' stay
• a good stock of groceries from the Asian market
• Culligan water filtration/softener system installed
• One night out with just me and my little man, Noam
• One night out, just me!!!!

I'm also hoping that I will be free of:

• twice daily blood thinner injections
• 5 of my 11 daily medications
• worry-free regarding kidney failure
• nauseau
• back aches
• swollen legs and feet
• mood swings!
• once a week appointments with a fetal specialist, neurologist and OB doctor

if I still have one or several of the plagues above, it will all be okay. Because I will be a little Mamalynn in the middle of loving parents and precious children.
