Two Weeks Down...

Well this second week of bed rest was a little better than the first.

Last week was rough on me and Brooklyn (so therefore making it rough on Jason too!). I think Brooklyn knew that things were different... Someone constantly different getting her out of bed, feeding her, picking her up, bathing her, rocking her, etc. And she would come to me and want me to do it, and when I couldn't, we both got upset. On top of all the sudden changes, she wasn't feeling well. And for me, one of the hardest things is knowing that people are rearranging their daily life for me (mostly Mom, Nana, and Kristen-- THANK YOU!!!). So all-in-all, we both were not at our best for a while.

BUT I think we've both adjusted to the way things are for now and week #2 has been better. I'm really trying not to let myself get a bad attitude because I know things could be so much worse. (If I had to be in the hospital for a long period of time, I'd be heart-broken. So I'm very grateful to be in my own home right now!) And like I've said before, I believe God has a purpose even in this and I want to make sure that I'm looking to Him every step of the way to see all that He has to show/teach me in this time.

And I can tell you that we have been blessed SO, SO much by how quickly and consistently our house has filled up with loving, caring family, friends, cheery gifts, and yummy food! I'm overwhelmed by the sweetness of the people in our lives. THAT is the part of this not-so-fun situation that I'm really enjoying!!!
