Bed Rest Countdown: 4

4 weeks down/12 weeks to go!!!  That puts me at 26 weeks along with a baby weighing approximately 2 lbs. YEA!  I can't believe that I have been laying down for a month.   I also can't believe how weak I am getting.  Taking a shower is so exhausting that sometimes I just lay on my bed in a towel for a few hours before dressing.  I have lost so much muscle already that I can wear smaller size shorts that I could a few weeks ago.  Crazy!  Overall, the days go by slowly, but the weeks are adding up.  I do my best not to dwell on how much longer I have to go but I can't help but think about some of things that I will miss (first days of school, meet the teacher, etc). 

Highlights for this week include weekly Bible study  (with onion rings-- thanks Paige), play date with an old friend Christy and her girls, evening visit from Hanh, surprise visit with my aunt Carol and uncle Sam, and my friend Nancy (and her girls) bringing some groceries (and cutting up all our fruit!)  JG spent the week at our church's summer music camp and has LOVED it. He is a lion in tonight's musical performance and I hope Jesse gets me some good video of the show.  Ava and Adrian enjoyed the play dates with friends and more attention from our great nanny, Sarah.  

Oh--can't forget this weeks craving update: spicy Orange Chicken from Pei Wei and basil chicken from a local Thai restaurant.  Bummer that neither place delivers!
