One Day at a Time

Good day today-- I think my body is starting to adjust to its new situation. It's hard to believe that not even a month ago I was making daily trips to the Y to do kickboxing, power sculpt, and spin classes! In one day's time, I went from intense hour-long workouts to sitting on a couch for 14 hours a day. I can't imagine what my system is thinking!

I wonder sometimes if all that exercise worsened my condition.... I worked out in a similar way throughout my pregnancy with Luke-- up until two weeks before he was born. I just had no idea that things would be any different this time around. Dr. M says that it probably had no impact... I'll never know, I guess.

I got a fun treat in the mail today! One of my best friends in the world who now lives in Texas sent me a book! SO nice to know she is thinking of me and giving me something to do to pass the time. I actually had people calling all day long to check on me-- offering food and help. Brandon also sent me a beautiful MP3 that he and Sheryl recorded last night at church of "He's Always Been Faithful" (Sara Groves). What a great song to remind me that God is at work in this stage of my life and that He has never let me down. It is so humbling and overwhelming to have such wonderful people to call "friends."

Luke has been gone 5 nights now-- this is the longest I have ever been away from him. God has given me a peace about it, thankfully. I know he is having fun, and it is hard on me when he is here because I can't do ANYTHING for him. I am also glad that he is so young that he won't remember any of this drama. I just pray he won't feel deprived in some way. It kills me that I can't pick him up. If I am blessed to carry this baby girl to term, then have a c-section, and then recover for 6-8 weeks-- I won't be able to pick Luke up until sometime in April!!! That is SO sad! By then he will probably be too big to carry anyway!!!! :(

They are bringing him back tomorrow! I am excited to see him! I pray he isn't too spoiled! :)
