Coming Home & Getting Ready

Bedrest Chronicles Day 42

Every morning I wake up and have a delicious moment where I think "I'm at home" and then snuggle into my comfy sheets and fall back asleep with my dog next to me and baby E still growing safely inside. It's a perfect moment every day.

Coming home couldn't have happened without my sister generously taking a week off to come take care of me. At the last minute there was a change in plans with my dad coming up as he had a work thing come up. Because my dad is a dear, he didn't want to disappoint me so WITHOUT telling me, he arranged for my sister to come up. I was a little appalled to put out my sister in this way since I could easily stay in the hospital. However, because they love me, they took care of it before I could say anything. Control freak much Jen? Regardless, I *really* appreciate their kindness! I'm so lucky to have them in my life. We all are actually.

When I left the hospital I was amazed at how beautiful it is here. After being inside for so long, I had forgotten how amazing the mountains and water look here. On her way up, my sister took this picture from the plane:



Coming home to my new house is surreal and so much fun! I'll have to follow up with pictures soon...well I'll have to get my sister to take them. :) All I can say is that I L - O - V - E it! The peaceful green walls and immense amount of natural light. Sigh. So happy.

With my sister here, we've been working on getting the baby stuff ready. Okay, I lay reclined in the chair and keep her company while she does all the work. :) We've come a long way in getting the clothes and supplies organized with what I have so far. She also put the carseat together...check it out:


Haha!

  8. So awesome to hear that you're home and well cared for by your sister! Lucky to have your family take care of you like that...

    (and what a weird coincidence. I've only met 1-2 other people in my life with my birthday... Happy birthday to us!)
