+ boy its been freezing lately-hot cocoa is a must 

+ if you ever need me ill be in bed or on the couch

most of you probably know that we have been home since last friday. i have been put on strict bed rest with bathroom privileges. well, really i can "putt" around the house but no chores or lots of walking. i can also go out to meals if we want. like dinner. but, boy it wears me out. i move pretty slow these days. i just don't want to exert myself and cause contractions again. 

my mom has been here since this all started and will be leaving us on saturday. she has been amazing. cleaning, cooking, pampering me, and keeping me company. when she leaves it's going to be very quiet around here. which, i guess is ok. doctors say they want me to be bored. haha. im always up for visitors so, just text me! 

bed rest isn't very fun but, i know taking it easy is in the best interest of these babies. we saw our real doctor on monday and she said babies look great. she doesn't want to check my cervix too much in fear of messing with it. i will now see her once a week from here on out. if i start contracting or anything then she will check me but, til then just weekly visits to be safe. i am taking progesterone every night in hopes of it keeping my cervix where it is at. we are all still praying baby h & c stay in a few more weeks. tomorrow i will be 26 weeks. so, lets pray i can make it passed 30 weeks. 35 would be ideal! 

again, i want to say thank you for all the prayers, thoughts, calls, texts, etc. we feel so blessed to have so many people thinking of us. we love you all! i will tell you this whole thing has taught me to let others do things for me and helped me know my limits. i can't do it all, all i can do is rest! 

this is a sure test of our faith in our heavenly father.....it has help us truly know with him all things will be okay!
