So It Begins....

So here we are...pregnant w/ baby #2 and on bedrest- AGAIN!  This time is a little different though b/c we're not bleeding (thank god!) but we're 5 weeks earlier than when things got complicated w/ Nicholas!  So since we're hoping that I'll have at least 10 weeks of bedrest (we're only 24 weeks), Alex gave me the assignment of starting a blog.  At first I thought he was kidding, but nope, he's serious.  He's convinced I need some sort of outlet and something that will keep me from going crazy...so here it is!

I'm not exactly sure what to write about or if anyone will ever read this...so i guess it doesn't really matter what i write about!  Right now, Alex has Nicholas at his school's fall festival where he's riding ponies, enjoying the petting zoo, and having a hayride.  And here i am, on the couch- where i'll hopefully be for the next 10+ weeks.  This is the part of bedrest that sucks!  We had a whole weekend of events planned for Nick's first halloween and now I can't participate in any of them!  Luckily i have the best husband in the world, who is also an amazing father, and is going to make sure that Nick's life goes on as normally as possible- even if mommy can't play the part that i used to!  I also have the best family in the world b/c my dad again dropped everything when he heard i was in the hospital and drove 6 hours to help out with the day to day stuff that i can no longer do.  My mom also plans on coming every weekend she is able to help out- and is currently pony riding w/ Nick and Alex.  My brother booked a flight for next weekend and plans on being here to help his nephew feel like things are 'normal'.  I'm not sure how 'normal' things are but i guess life is about adapting to what is...not what we hoped they would be!
