I feel like a lesser woman because she can do all of these things while watching my two kids and I just can't. I'm not ungrateful (at least I don't think I am), but as an independent woman that has never needed nor wanted help before, this new help from my MIL is killing my pride. Lord help me phrase this next part correctly so I don't sound like a complete bitch, but I don't like that she does it anymore.

Because I'm overly pregnant, running a business until the wee hours of the morning, working full time and have a less than helpful partner in the domestic home part, she took it upon herself to do my laundry and dishes as well as the new baby's clothes. We're saving a TON on daycare because of it and I love that the kids are always together and doing something fun (not that they weren't doing that in Daycare, but it's different with Grammy). My mother-in-law graciously asked to watch the kiddos two days a week while she's on summer break.
Maybe it's the hormones and the nesting syndrome, but it's really put a damper on my attitude. While decorating her room, I realized I've become more than a bit obsessive about how I want everything organized. It's taken me longer than I had hoped because of the blanket business I shut down about a month later than I had anticipated, but all of the extra money will go a long way in keeping our finances together while I'm on maternity leave. I've been more than enjoying decorating her room and putting together her whimsical dandelion theme. They've helped me decorate her room, put her new diapers away, and they know it's 'Grace's room'. Is she going to look like my other daughter? Will she be as big as the other two kids were? How will she sleep and will I be able to cope with having three young children under the age of four? I've been anxious trying to plan for her arrival and to prep my older two kids for the changes she'll bring. Eleven more days until I get to hold baby girl in my arms! It's difficult to show how thankful and excited we are, but I honestly can't wait.
