Its been one week, almost to the hour, since Jason rushed me (and baby boy) to the hospital. This means I've been sitting insanely still for over 168 hours. This means that Spalding and Lyddy have had every opportunity to shed and spread enough hair and dander to fill a cat bed. Ugh! It doesn't help that normally I like to vacuum every few days, and use my handy swiffer almost as often.
Anyhow, my fabulous mother, and my sister's mother-in-law (Linda) came by today and did some extreme cleaning! They came bearing the gift of food, the gift of socializing, and the gift of cleaning. I feel incredibly blessed!
We even had some entertainment during the cleaning. Mom got her groove on while vacuuming, and then a piece that I didn't even know existed on the vacuum just fell off. Its apparently the filter that was just tired of filtering. It was pretty funny watching the two of them reassemble it (from my recliner of course).
After they finished cleaning, Linda pulled the best chicken salad I have ever had... by far. I will post the recipe the moment I receive it from her! I had way too many servings. In addition, she brought an entire bag of home made snicker doodles and ginger snaps. If I have to remain on bed rest for the rest of the pregnancy, I'm going to have to nix their visits to my house with such amazing food!
After lunch, Jason dropped by with a beautiful basket full of goodies that were sent by Clay and Tabitha! It includes a Sudoku book, word puzzles, Good Housekeeping, Better Homes, The Home Journal, fruit, chocolates, and a drink. The most awesome bed rest gift ever! Thanks Clay and Tabitha!
The rest of the day, the kiddos kept me company while I worked on my laptop (which has been wonderful to be able to do). They seem to want to get out of the house as much as I do!
