In the continuing saga that is my pregnancy, I am now back on bedrest.
"Bedrest" is such a deceptive term. It sounds so nice, like I'm reclined in a big mound of pillows and sleeping the hours away. When in truth, it's terribly inconvenient and disruptive to our life. I now have to AGAIN figure out how to follow the doctor's orders AND make sure my kids are taken care of, AND let Patrick finish up this semester AND start his new job (since I haven't been able to work at all) AND not depend too much on all the other people in my life who have already bent over backwards for me the last three weeks.
It's frustrating.
Okay, 'nuf whining. I'll write later when I'm a little more chipper.
This too shall pass...

She could cook for them,read to them, etc., do the dishes and laundry, and straighten up the house a little. Think about it, OK. By the way, helping you out is not a burdern to anyone, it is a huge privilege and honor! love you all, auntj

Thank you for the thought!
