Lay down, lay down, lay down....that's pretty much my thoughts all day. It's so hard to stay down when I can think of a million things to do. Thankfully we moved our computer downstairs and I'm consumed with digital scrapbooking. So fun!
My mom came out last week and spent the week cleaning my house, keeping us fed and putting up our christmas tree. My house looks and smells wonderful and our spirits are again lifted. Moms are amazing at working their motherly magic! She left last Thursday with an extra piece of luggage by the name of ELLIOT! He was so excited to go. Every day he asked when he was going to "get on the plane with grandma and mommy stays here."
He's been gone for 4 days and he's not one bit homesick....mom and dad on the other hand...well that's another story....Actually we're doing great. My stress and guilt level is way down now that I know he's loving his life and not watching 14 movies a day. 1 1/2 weeks to go till Elliot gets back and hopefully these babies stay cozy inside that long too.
Twin boys update: They are measuring 4 lbs 8 oz each via ultrasound. I've had to increase my contraction stopping medication quite a bit this week. I've almost maxed out on the medicine I can have per day so hopefully the contractions calm down. I wasn't sure I'd even make it to Thanksgiving and now here we are....so many blessings!
Speaking of blessings...the amount of support, love, meals and encouragement we have received from neighbors, ward members and friends is beyond anything we could have asked for.
WE ARE SO BLESSED!
