Lots of love on the homefront

I'm still at home. I have a week to go until I meet the perinatologist. The note I originally received for my leave from work said I was to be off work through April 3. So, I thought I might be able to teach for an hour or so on Monday, April 6. When I called to make sure it would be ok with my doctor, it was confirmed that I need to be off at least until I meet with the specialist and they were going to put another note together for me for work. So, no work for me on Monday afterall, which, of course, makes me a little sad. But I knew it was a possibility and I am trying to take things in stride.

We have had some great homecooked meals. Darrel's doing an awesome job of taking care of things that need our attention. My mother-in-law is still helping us out and staying with us most nights. And then, there's Connor. He's still having a difficult time about me not picking him up, but he has done some super sweet things. Before he left for daycare today, he came up to me, lifted my shirt a little and said "bye" to his baby brother through my tummy. This included hugs, kisses and snuggles. It was so sweet and the love I felt from my sweet boy was awesome.

I've started part two of the Sheila Walsh book I began reading last week. The first chapter in part two is Chapter five and looks at why God says no. I think I'll have to take this chapter a little at a time. So far, I have laughed and cried and I only just started.

So, we're hanging in as best we can. We're going to try to get a few things done around the house tomorrow. (For me this means sorting important papers from the couch or a chair and then putting the finishing touches on our tax stuff so we can get it to our tax guy by Friday.)

I just have to keep taking things one day at a time.

So, is anybody out there? Or am I still typing just for myself?
