Hibernation

Right now, I'm looking out my window and I see massive snowflakes covering the ground. It's beautiful. I'm listening to "Let It Snow" on Pandora. I feel at peace and very content. I love Christmas time. I love that I had my tree up and house decorated a week or two before Thanksgiving. I love that I happened to have all my Christmas shopping done before I came to the hospital. I love that I can sit in my warm room and look out my wall of windows and enjoy the beautiful falling snow, knowing that I don't have to go out and travel in it. I love that Morgan and Little Miss are literally blocks away from the hospital. Last night, we helped Little Miss write a letter to Santa. I love that she wants Santa to bring her a baby fish. I love the fact that Morgan and I have had several conversations trying to logistically figure out how to get a goldfish while I am in the hospital. We'll figure it out!

I love the fact that its winter. If I have to be inside for almost 3 months, I love that its the months of December, January and February! I can just hibernate! Soon afterwards, it will be Spring and Summer and I can go for walks and try to lose all this weight and regain any leg muscles I am most certainly losing.

It's amazing how grateful I have felt the last couple of weeks. I am so incredibly blessed.

  1. Congratulations Jen! I didn't even know you were expecting. Isn't it amazing the sacrifices we make for our children- especially before they even get here! You are doing an amazing job and will be blessed for it. Dan's cousin has a heart shaped uterus as well. It is a scary situation. Lot's of bed rest. She successfully had 3 children at about 37 weeks. It will work out. I'm so proud of you for staying so positive. It is so hard not to worry!
