Mother's Day Motivation

Technically I am not a mother yet. Yesterday at church, however, I noticed that many people wished me a relaxing Mother's Day. This was odd because I am used to saying "Have a good Mother's Day" but apparently when you become a mother, people say "restful" or "relaxing." It's almost like code talk for "I know that every other day is crazy and you don't get to relax so take advantage of today." I guess I know what to expect in the future. Regardless, yesterday was restful and exciting because I got to paint another sheep and bible verse on the nursery wall. Everything is coming together now. Hopefully Mary E. will bring the curtains this weekend and all that will be left to do is continue to fill it with baby supplies. The time will be here before we know it...12 weeks. Barrett and I have an appointment on Thursday to do the basic weigh in and measure and then Friday we are going to see her up close and personal in Stateville. We should have good pics to share then. Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement. You are all going to be an awesome community for little Chloe Ann.
