My pregnant daughter has been on “stay off your feet” orders from her doctor for a couple of weeks. So, when her husband had to go out of town last week, she asked me if I could stay with her for a few nights and help with the kids and the house. Laundry, lunch, dinner, dogs and taking and picking up the kids from school were part of the deal. P.S. found out that I truly love Barbie bubblegum toothpaste 🙂
Wednesday was Anti- Bully Awareness Day, so Natalie and Liam had to wear orange to school. After the laundry, Vera said she felt like Benihana (not my favorite) but when a pregnant woman says she wants something – well, you know how that goes.
We sat by the bar and it was so dark I could not read the menu, I just put on another pairs of glasses over the one I had on, then I hear my daughter laughing and when I looked up, she showed me a photo she shared with the world. Kids.
That night, my sister Marianne and neice Sandra came by and we had dinner, talked and played with the kids. Thursday I went with my daughter to the doctor for her weekly check-up and when she came out of his office I knew he had put her on total bed rest (she is due in February). Vera cried all the way home. This is her third baby , third bed rest order. After a while, she was quite and we watched some spooky paranormal show she likes, , I was glued. The doorbell rang , my son in law Bill sent Vera these beautiful flowers that started her crying again.
Thank God she understands and feels better and has a positive attitude to staying in bed. They have another doctor appointment today, hoping the doctor will let her stay at home and not put her in the hospital – which happened with Liam. Believing the best and leaving the rest to Him.
