Resting...

If you read our 24 week update, you'll know that I was on bed rest this weekend until I can get into my doctor's office tomorrow afternoon. It was both wonderful and aweful at the same time. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE a good lazy pj day, but three in a row... I was going stir crazy by day 2!

Friday was lots of sleeping from a super late night/ early morning in the hospital followed by an afternoon on the couch watching movies with MK. A sweet friend brought me lunch (delicious leek and potato soup... perfect for the "chilly" 70 degree day!) and a casserole for dinner. I was totally overwhelmed by everyone's well wishes and offers to help bring meals and watch Mk.

Saturday I had to get out of the house, so we took a car ride to a friend's garage sale and Lowes... I stayed in the car, but it was nice to get out of the house. It was a gorgeous day on Saturday so we sat outside and watched MK play in her sand box. We watched some college football and cuddled as a family on the couch in the afternoon and it was wonderful... the perfect fall day!



Watching church on TV! MK loved dancing to the worship music.

This morning we watched church on TV (you can live stream the service at Watermark.org). This was our first time live streaming church on Sunday morning and it was awesome. We totally felt like we were there, except we were on our comfy couch in our pjs! After church I made our shopping/meal list for this week and we ventured out to Target. I got a wheelchair from customer service and Mike pushed me and MK while I pushed our cart! We got some funny looks, but in my book it was less embarassing than riding in a motorized wheelchair cart (although Mike was pushing me to use it!). After our Target adventure, I stayed on the couch the rest of the day and we watched the Lorax with MK and some pro-football.

Our Target set up... pretty sweet! :)

As far as the bleeding is concerned, it started slowing down Saturday night and has stopped as of today. I'm hoping that means that we're all cleared with bed rest, but I'm willing to do anything for the health of sweet Khloe! My dr appointment is at 2:45 tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be taking it easy again until our trip down to Baylor.

My heart is calm and peaceful and filled with gratitude that I get to carry another sweet baby girl. I loved cuddling with Mike and MK this weekend and just reflecting on how incredibly blessed I am. My heart is full! :)

Thanks for your prayers!

Love,
