Blessed

I am such a lucky girl! These are two of the greatest men in my life, if only I would have snapped a picture of dad when he came to visit me in the hospital :) Todd and Lucas are handling my bed rest like true champs. It has been tough on all of us but we know that the final outcome will be worth every day, hour, etc. In some ways it had been so great to get to see these two become even closer and share that special father/son bond, especially since Todd pretty much takes care of Lucas. I miss bath and bedtime, heck- even diaper changes! I do still enjoy our special time to read books(LOTS), color(LOTS), and snuggle(LOTS). It melts my heart when he comes home and says he missed me and "wuv wou mommy", who can resist coloring the 100th digger truck for that sweet little boy? I also love when he cuddles up in bed with me and proclaims " I'm going night-night with mommy!" Mommyhood is the best gift that is worth every difficult moment, toddler tantrum, and newborn sleepless night :) God, help me remember that in a few months....

But Super Daddy is really the one who deserves all of the credit!
I feel so lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful husband who takes such great care of bedridden me, Lucas, and the rest of our family; along with keeping up with the never ending laundry, doggie entertaining, house cleaning, shopping, and cooking- not to mention working full time!!! He is gonna need a vacation after these little girls arrive! Thank you Todd for your time, love, patience, and understanding. Lucas and these girls are SO LUCKY to have you as their daddy and me....

I truly am so blessed :)

My dad and brother have also helped spoil me these last few weeks :) They were kind enough to come down and paint our hallways and foyer for us AND keep me company! Plus, dad made my favorite fall treat, homemade applesauce- YUMMY!!! Just another example of the wonderful men in my life ;)

I couldn't resist this sweet picture of my buddy during the day, sweet Bailey girl. She snuck up there, we don't let her on the couch ;)


Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
