Bedrest It Is

So we've had a couple of great Dr. appointments, one even where I was given permission to sit up periodically. But as I was talking to my Dr (who by-the-way is the most amazing, goes-above-and-beyond-anything-you-can-imagine, kind of Dr) she told me the goal for this pregnancy is for me to not end up in the hospital before the scheduled c-section and to keep this baby in. So I will be down, on our wonderful couch, for the duration of this pregnancy. I can't really wrap my head around 6 months but I can do tomorrow. So I just take one day at a time.
Benson was taken such good care of by Rachel and Adalaide (although she, Adalaide, did teach him some things we'll be trying to fix for years) and now my wonderful mother is here for two months!! Isn't she great! I cried when I read she wasn't flying home until April 11. We feel so blessed with the outpouring of love and offers to help from both family and friends, it's quite overwhelming. Thank you to all!

Band Wagon

I am planning on getting back on the blogging band wagon but think it's a bit daunting to think about catching up. We had so many fun times in November, December and January. Trips to the Bills, my favorite place to visit in Arkansas, for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Plus having fabulous weather in So Texas and going to the park everyday. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up.

In other exciting news...we are expecting!!!!!! We are super happy to be adding an addition in August. I have been put on bedrest (can this ever be easy?!). Hopefully it won't be for the next 6 months, wow can't even comprehend that. We should be finding out today if I get some more mobility privileges. My amazing sister, Rachel (and her daughter Adalaide) is here taking care of Benson and me. Oh she is wonderful! Benson has done pretty well, I think it's harder on me than on him. But of course it's all worth it. Anthony (and his work) has also been so amazing, what would I do without him?
