I get to say "I told ya so!". The Sunday night stress has rolled in and it's intense. The great thing is that the house is done! YAY!!! However, the garage is not. Bad weather is headed our way tonight and may limit our opportunity to shuttle all of our garage stuff to the storage unit. Carey is very overwhelmed with that little problem. That and the limited amount of time that he will have during this rotation. The realtor came today and we signed all of the necessary paperwork. The house is now on the market and the realtor tour will begin Tuesday. TUESDAY??? Wow! Not much time with bad weather to clean out an entire garage! That's quite a burden for Carey along with starting a demanding surgery rotation. Wish us luck!
Today was a first of many to come. This morning AGW came screaming from her bedroom through the living room and into our bedroom. She ended up on my side of the bed crying and screaming to be held. She was sick today and for the first time was able to get out of bed and run to Mommy and Daddy all by herself. It was a pleasant surprise to wake up to!
We are 17 days away from Match Day. In just a little over 2 weeks our lives will be changed forever. That's a tough realization for this highly emotional prego person! We are getting so anxious and nervous. I just can't believe it's so close!

1st Dr. visit
We had our first doctor's appointment today to confirm our pregnancy. Luckily, not much happened other than that. Uneventful dr. visits are the best kind! Baby Watson is still too little to hear the heartbeat, although I insisted they atleast try!
AGW is enjoying her new big girl bed and the freedom to roam. She is such a nightowl like her daddy! We hear her digging through her closet 2 hours after we put her to bed! I've decided that as long as she can get herself back into her bed, she can play until she is tired. I check on her at the end of the night and find her closet door wide open and a sprawled-out wildchild at the wrong end of the bed. In bed with her are all of her goodies: dirty clothes, clean clothes and their hangers, a diaper for her baby, 2-3 babies and bottles, several books, and whatever else she needs from her toy box. Each night I attempt to take all of her goodies off of the bed without waking her. I love it. She makes me laugh.
If she wakes up before me in the morning, I usually find her lovingly taking care of her babies again. All of this independant playtime in her room has made her so much more content to play by herself. It seems to set the tone for the rest of the day.
Carey finished up his Family Medicine Rotation and I am anticipating the typical Sunday night stress. Sunday nights are not good for him. The stress of the upcoming week settles in and the carefree weekend slips away. I feel useless and hate that I can't make it better. Usually it spreads to me and I find something to stress about along with him. This Sunday could have melt-down potential. The realtor is coming that afternoon to tell us all of the things we still need to do, plus Carey will start his surger rotation Monday. He's been away from this kind of pressure since October, so it may be a tough adjustment. I am welcoming the idea of some structure and routine back into our lives. We'll need the structure to get through all of the fun chaos that we have coming up! Only 19 days til Match Day!!!!! OH, I also have an appointment the day before the Match so we'll get to actually HEAR this sweet baby's heartbeat!
