First week of bed rest


I have made it to 25 weeks!! Now, only 13 more to go. Yes, I'm praying for 38 weeks and over 5 pound babies. I would like for them to be at least 6 pounds, but I'll take 5. This week was my first week of bed rest. It's a little different; especially for me. I'm so used to be up and running around....not happening now. I just lay on the couch for most of the day. Too bad I'm not much of a TV watcher. There is nothing on anyway. I thought I would keep myself busy with stuff I've been needing to do (that I can do laying down). But I decided to take this week and do absolutely nothing. It has surprisingly gone by very fast. I can't believe it's already Friday. Now, if the weekends would just go slower, I would be happy.

This Saturday is my third and final baby shower. I'm so excited! I can't wait to see everyone. Not only that, anytime I get to be out of the house, it's a treat. Mom will be down and will begin her stay with us on a weekly basis. I'm very thankful for that....for the company and for the fact that she will be my arms and legs. Anything I need done, she'll get to it.

Some of you have been asking what we need or what we would like. Well, to make it easier on you, right now....I need company. Phone calls, emails or stop-bys (please call first) would be appreciated. Not so much texting though. I have run over my limit almost every month and really don't want to pay the extra charge. Bronson needs my mom! Well....to do the cooking and cleaning. I think he misses me doing it all. But once the babies are born, the focus will be shifted to them. At that time, it would be helpful to bring meals over, stop by and change a diaper or two or three, maybe feed a couple of babies. If the baby thing is not up your alley....throw in a load of clothes, fill the dishwasher or run the swifter over our wood floors. Anything would be helpful. I should have a chart of all what needs to be done....so there should be no question about it.

Okay...that's it for this week. I'll continue to keep you informed. And please continue to keep us in your prayers.
