Day 32: A Pick-Me-Up

My sister-in-law, who is well acquainted with bed rest and uterine abnormalities sent me a great email this morning.  As I said, she knows firsthand the rollercoaster that is bed rest (though I realize I don't have it nearly as bad . . .she was also sick the whole time) and said "Every day of being stuck and not moving is torture. So,here is something to cheer you up." Last night was really rough because B had another melt-down that stressed all of us out (and J doesn't need extra stress while he's studying for his state boards which he takes next Thursday).  It's hard to balance cutting B some slack and not giving in to everything he wants just because his life has been turned upside down by all of this.  I think we've all felt a loss of control with the change in our routine, so we'll continue to adjust and plan so each day is better and things go more smoothly for him.  B also woke up with nightmares thinking I'd left him, so I was up twice consoling him.  I have also experienced several contractions today and have been worried an uncomfortable.  After that, I needed a  pick me up this morning and this link was it.  So thanks, S and others woo have provided entertainment , encouragement, and support every day.  Here's a taste of what you'll see.  Hopefully it will bring a smile to your face like it did to mine.
