My mom was here last week. She basically cooked and cleaned for us and just loved us the way moms do. It was great. She also got to meet and hold her granddaughter, which they both enjoyed very much. Another huge help was painting the dresser I bought for Ellis ($14!), which Vickie and I had planned on doing not long before I went into the hospital. It didn't happen because I started feeling crummy and very busy. After about 16 hours of cleaning and painting the dresser was transformed---and I didn't lift a finger. It looks great and the nursery is closer and closer to being ready for a little girlie to come live in it.

These are just postcards I bought months ago that I thought would look cute in the nursery. I bought four mismatched old frames at Goodwill and painted them white. I like it.
