Update

Mom got here Monday. We got her signed in and all the paperwork set up so that she can stay on post until the 4th of December. Unfortunately, if she isn't divorced and we don't have the paperwork through by then, we have to send her back to the states until after New Year's.

I've decided not to take the full time job. I really like only working part time as a substitute. I also seem to have misplaced my passport somewhere in my apartment and have not been able to find it. I'm working on it, but I may end up having to report it lost and buying a new one. *blech*

I got my will drawn up yesterday. And all sorts of medical powers of attorneys and the like. That made me feel entirely too grown-up. elvnsword and I did it together and it took over an hour. Luckily, we get to do it for free with the army.

In the two days that Mom has been here, she has completely cleaned all of the public spaces. The house looks fantastic and I feel horribly guilty. She got it clean in two days and I couldn't do that on my own before she got here. That reminds me that I need to make sure we pay her for the housecleaning stuff mid-month.

Tadpole is starting to show some. My lower belly is decidedly more rounded than it was before. It's exciting and terrifying. I've started to slowly acquire baby things. We got a wonderful stroller for free. I bought some changing pads for $4 at the thrift store. We also got a package that Mom had mailed before she left that was full of baby stuff from when my brother and I were little. I'm beginning to realize that having a baby doesn't have to be as expensive as I thought if I don't feel like I have to buy everything new. And I don't. I'm still in a bit of shock that I'm really, really pregnant. Just wow ya know?
