Where did the week go??

For someone who is on bedrest and spends most of her time sitting around the house, I find the days and weeks starting to go by rather quickly. Maybe too quickly.... When this first started, at 25 weeks, I found myself making lists, lots and lots of lists. Lists of things to do to pass the time, lists of baby tasks that I could do from the couch (or bed), lists of things we still need to buy, lists of errands for Paul to run, lists of chores I needed Paul to do around the house, etc, etc. You name it, chances are good, it's on one of my lists. Now here I am, with maybe a month to go (if that long) and I think only about 25% of any one list is actually finished (except for the things to buy list and that's thanks to the baby shower). So the question is - do I sit around and worry about what I didn't get done? Or do I just relax and figure it will all work itself out in the end? I know the right answer is to just relax and enjoy the remaining few days and weeks of the pregnancy and a quiet house and having the time to rest during the day, but anyone who knows me knows just how hard it is for me to do that... I guess now is the time to prioritize all the remaining things to do and work on just the top few most important stuff (like finding a pediatrician and reading up on childbirth).
I need send out a great BIG "thank you!!!!" to my Mom for all her help this week. It was great having her here to help me for a few days and keep me company (and calm my nerves). She drove me to the hair salon on Tuesday, to the doctor's office on Wednesday, did laundry, cooked, cleaned, even pushed me around Babies R Us in a wheel chair! What would I do without her??? Thanks Mom!!
The last two days have been spent just resting and watching A LOT of Grey's Anatomy. I'd like to say "thank you" to Brooke for getting me hooked on a new show. A few more days and I'll be moving on to Season 3! Not bad considering I just started with Season 1 about 9 or 10 days ago.
