YOU MADE IT TO 9 MONTHS!! \o/ I mean, I get that every week from here on out still matters, weight/development-wise, but you're way past the scary phase, and that's got to be a huge relief for you. (FWIW, I was three weeks early, back in 1971, and nobody blinked.)
Welcome to the East Coast! Hey, at least you're in the same timezone as Bru now. :-D (Well, and me, too, but you're closer to Bru, I know.) Sounds like everything's going really smoothly - I'm super-happy to hear you've got a good offer on your old house, and have already found a new house you like. I hope that process goes great, too. And is there any chance Cody can tell his mom that she needs to ease off because she's stressing him out? (Well, and you, too, but she'll probably respond more if emphasis is put on him.) It's fine that she's anxious, but she needs to find another outlet for that, among her own circle. (This was my one request on my wedding day: I told my mom if she needed to freak out, I needed her to freak out somewhere else because what *I* needed was calm. Thankfully, she was good about that.) Anyway, does Cody have the kind of relationship with his mom where he could ask that, and be firm about it? Because she absolutely cannot be calling you 10x/day to wibble out how you three are doing, once her first-grandbaby-visit period is over.
Could your moms to stay at local hotels? (*Are* there local hotels?) Perhaps you could even set up shifts, ie your mom comes 7a-1p, and Cody's mom comes 1p-7p? Alternate the shifts so they each get a shot at am and pm? That way, you have help throughout the day, but without any opportunity for the two moms to clash (or overwhelm you).
