Emily, Ive also been thinking about you and wondering how you were. I wrote on your FB wall. Thanks for the update on your mom. It must be very difficult for you not to be with her right now. She is in great hands so dont worry. Worrying will never change anything but make you upset, right now you do not need that kind of stress. Do you have any idea how long she will be in Texas?

I wish you the best of luck with your daily challenges. Your first baby is such an exciting time. There is so much to do and plan. Do you have any friends who recently had a baby? They might give you some good advice. There are some excellent books that will give you week by week info and important tips. Especially important is taking the prenatal vitamins. Have you found a good doctor yet? Lots of people will tell you all about their horror stories from being in labor, dont listen!!!! I would tell people as soon as they started telling me their story to save it til after Id had my baby.

Please check in with us and give updates on your mom and on you too
