So the plan is to have a c-section and have the baby sometime during my 36th week, or the week of June 7th. I must admit this is a little sooner than we were anticipating, and occasionally overwhelming while I'm sitting at home all day trying to think of other things to think about and do battle with the crazed desire/need I have to shop, bake, organize, clean, and otherwise prepare and do all sorts of things that I know I shouldn't be doing right now.
Not to mention the weird and crazy dreams I've been having where we take our infant home from the hospital and I forget to feed him or change his diaper for days at a time, sometimes even forgetting that I have a baby at all! Or we go on vacation and leave him behind, or he gets really slippery for some reason and I drop him every time I try to pick him up.
There's no way I'll be as bad as I keep dreaming I will be... but still. Does anybody know a crash course I can take in three weeks or less on how to be a mom?!

With your baby coming that soon our kids may only be a few days apart!
I felt the same way and had the same dreams before I had Brian. There are some great books out there to read and that will give you an idea of what to do as a mother, but in the end the only crash course you can take is just to have the baby and figure it out as you go. Like me you'll feel more like it's crash and burn sometimes rather than a crash course, but I know you Lisa and I KNOW you'll be a fantastic mother. I hope everything goes well for you and that you and baby are healthy. I'm thinking about you!
I've had that dream about a slippery baby getting dropped too. More like a nightmare, right? You'll be fine. Sadly there is no crash course, but having your mom come help you is probably the best course you could have since she did such a good job raising her own. Good luck!
Before I was married I used to dream I was pregnant, had no idea how, and then had to EXPLAIN to my parents.
Baby dreams are no good.
I am excited for you, though! And you WILL be an excellent mom!
Lol...I can still remember Lisa's pregnant dream before she was married. Do you remember Lisa? Hahaha...I still laugh when I think of that one. Sigh. But don't worry, babies are great at letting you know there's something wrong. Not like plants, where you can forget to feed them for too long and they die. Your little guy won't just sit there and let that happen ;) Same if you forget where you put him! It's awesome! :P
