Boring Day

It was a boring day today - but that's a good thing!  What is ideal right now are boring days where things stay "normal" and there is no drama of any kind.  If I'm lucky, I'll have a boring two or three weeks to follow here in Peoria. 

I only had a couple of contractions on both this morning's and this afternoon's monitor sessions.  The doctor was pleased with that.  I was able to take a shower today which always perks me up a bit.  And my friend Jess visited me for the second day in a row and even brought me a Starbucks mocha.  Mmmmmm.  (Such a blessing to have a friend here in Peoria - if I was in Iowa City, I wouldn't have anyone nearby). 

The only drama of my day was when I was struggling with the dang table and trying to raise it (which isn't easy to do while stuck in bed) and in the meantime, the table bumped the chair next to the bed which was holding the laptop case.  The laptop case then topples over and the laptop falls out onto the floor with a bang.  I thought for sure I managed to break our new toy, especially when I noticed part of it was no longer in place.  Boy was I freaking out - worth the hassle of undoing the leg "massagers" (what a joke) to get out bed and check out the situation.  I pushed the piece back in and so far it looks like the computer is still working.  Whew.  Basically the point of the story is that despite what everyone may think, it's not easy laying around all day long.  The slightest activities turn into a chore and result in potentially bad accidents.  It can be quite frustrating to keep spirits up when everything is such a struggle.

From what I understand, Eddie and Adalynn are doing fine on their own.  Sigh.  It's not easy knowing they can move on with their lives without me.  Adalynn wasn't happy with Daddy though when he took one of my yogurts from the fridge.  She scolded him saying it was Mommy's.  Apparently she also feels more comfortable having someone in my place at the dinner table so she's made Eddie sit in my chair the last couple of days.  Eddie said he even attempted to put Adalynn's hair in a ponytail today.   Wow - way to go, Daddy!
