Bed Rest Countdown: 8

8 weeks down/8 weeks to go and 30 week pregnant.  Tomorrow marks the half way bed rest point!!  56 days past and 56 days ahead of us (to reach 38 weeks).   I celebrated the day with a decaf mocha frappacino from Starbucks (on the way home from my doctors appt).  After I placed my order and sat awhile in the drive-thru line, the barista apologized for the long wait.  I thought to myself, "Are you kidding?  What wait, I'm too busy soaking in the sunshine, admiring the trees, and people watching."  I can't tell you how long it has been since I've have had the pleasure of waiting in line.  Nothing like bed rest to put things in perspective.

A few of this weeks highlights:
fresh chocolate chip cookies made by nanny Sarah and the kids
Emily taking all 3 of my kiddos to the spray park (and the funny pics and port-a-potty story that go with that)
plans to embroider a baby bib and some towels (thanks Sarah for the idea and supplies)
a quiet 20 minute dinner alone with Jesse while the kids watched a show
a good doctors report (that everything has stayed the same)
plans to lay on the couch at my Nana's while the kids swim one day soon
dinner from a unknown neighbor
another week of Keri's fabulous grocery delivery service
learning how to french braid Ava's hair (thank you u-tube)
Jesse teaching me how to load pics from my phone to my blog

Thanks Lord for the many blessings of this week.  I'm betting next week will be just a good!
