Why?
Because, I'd bet just about anything that you didn't accomplished nearly as much as was accomplished around my house this weekend.
Did you clear out a whole room and get it painted the most perfect shade of pale purple?
Did you roll out the most adorable pink rug on the planet in the room that's the perfect shade of pale purple?
Did you unpack at least ten boxes of books and clothes and house stuff?
Did you organize your china cabinet?
Did you hang a brand new mailbox?
Did you mount a hose caddy on your patio wall?
Did you move furniture from one room to the next?
Did you (for the second time in as many weeks) totally reorganize your garage?
Did you take yet another load of stuff to Goodwill?
Did you clean and reorganize your front patio?
Did you unload five boxes of books into your downstairs bookshelves?
Did you take a load of old paint and electronics and batteries and lightbulbs to the household waste recycling place?
No?
See? Don't you feel like a sloth?
Well... me too.
Because of all the things listed above, I only did about two.
My parents did the rest.
Which makes them about the coolest, most wonderful, most helpful parents in the entire universe.
WOW! God bless them! That was so nice! I bet it's nice
get all of that taken care of before Baby Girl's arrival.

I'm exhausted just reading about your parent's weekend! Lucky you to have such helpful parents. And lucky baby Girl to have such loving grandparents!

Sarah,
I have tell you that I just spent the last hour at work (where I should be cutting) reading every post on sperm donors and pregnancy that you have written. I am waiting for my cycle to begin so I can have my first 3rd day of cycle FSH tests and just felt so wonderful reading all your early posts about where I am now all the way through the more recent ones. I found Starfish about 3 weeks ago when I started looking at donors, but had only ready the one post about choosing. Thank you, thank you, thank you...for putting all your early thoughts, which are amazingly similar to my current thoughts out for the world (i.e. me) to read.
-Debra

as the supervisor of the parents you can, as most supervisors do, take credit for leading the team :)
