Hi family and friends! I write this while sitting/lying on the couch 2 weeks into bed rest! Yep that's right, the girls are already giving mom and dad a run for their money! After a preterm contractions and the beginnings of labor the Dr's. were able to stop the progression and thankful buy us more time for the girls to cook!! We made it past the 32 week milestone this week which is great news for their lung development!!
I am having a tough time being housebound as the sedentary lifestyle doesn't quite describe me, but have found many things to keep me busy as vegging in front of the TV is not an option. That's right we gave up cable back in August and LOVE it! I have been reading, learned how to knit, written lots and lots of thank you notes to all our wonderful friends and family, keeping up with every one's happenings via social media, field trips to the Dr's., directing Nick on how to complete all my nesting desires, sharing time with lots of visitors, and best of all sleeping! Time goes slowly while Nick is at work but I just keep telling myself....I would so much rather be here on the couch than visiting the NICU everyday! This journey to motherhood has been humbling, joyous, and challenging. And to think they are not even in my arms yet! What abundance is yet to come!!!
To my girls,
No one will ever know the strength of my LOVE for you. After all you know what my HEART sounds like from the inside.
Love, Mommy
beautiful! the last line made me teary-eyed :)
