Fun with "balloons"
It's been kind of a wacky past week or so around here, as I ended up on hospital bed rest for preterm labor a week before Christmas (not the way I intended to first talk about this pregnancy on the blog, but what can you do - he/she is not due until 3/3/14 and, current concerns notwithstanding, we're very excited!). Happily, they were able to stop things within a few hours and I've remained stable since. They let me come home for bed rest on the afternoon of the 24th and our wonderful families all changed their plans and came up here to celebrate with us. It was obviously not the Christmas we had been planning, but a wonderful time with both of our entire immediate families all together.

It's been an unusual interlude, to say the least, but I can't begin to say how lucky and grateful I feel for all of the love and support that our families and friends have given us. Sitting around for weeks (best case scenario and what I'm really hoping for) won't be the most exciting use of my time, but it's so much better than the alternative, that all I can really do right now is thank my lucky stars and hope that all continues to go well.
