Settling In

My mom came down the Friday before Jacob was scheduled to arrive and stayed until this morning. Having her here was so helpful- a lifesaver really. This allowed Daniel to stay at the hospital with me where time moved slowly enough and would've been even slower had he not been there. When we came home, the house was in perfect order-- super clean (even more so than when I'm here alone 'cause my mom is a better housekeeper than me), Maggie was napping, Will was excited to see us and lunch/dinner was ready! Since mom was here to help me with the kids, this freed-up Daniel to do things around the house, getting it finished for the sale.
Then Saturday we had more visitors- Daniel's mom (G), Granny & PawPaw stopped in for a few hours to see us and meet new baby Jake. We had a very nice visit and enjoyed introducing them to our new bundle of joy.

After they left, Daniel got to work on steaming the carpets. I intended to hire a professional but Daniel thought renting a steamer from Lowe's would be easier- I was not aware of that service, but makes sense, so we went that route. And I gotta say, he did a great job- the carpet looks really nice. We've pretty much finished everything now, just waiting to tie up a few loose ends and the house will be on the market.
