Baby steps

I'm home and getting settled. Jordan is posting this for me since I can't get up and we don't have laptop sorted out (anyone have an old spare lying around? Actually a bar fridge too, come to think of it).

Anyway I'm on bed rest every minute of the day (with the exception of the bathroom) until the babies are born. It's all very scary and overwhelming yet I am trying to keep the attitude that at least we caught this when we did because if not they would have been born by now and struggling to survive. So quite literally every day I can keep them in is a vast improvement to their health and as the days hopefully roll into weeks we get them closer and closer to little or no complications. I am 25 weeks and 1 day now, and while the first big milestone is 28 weeks, I am trying to take it day by day and feel blessed every morning that we've made it another day longer.

Although the move home is great to have the three of us together, it is proving stressful and difficult to figure out how this is all going to work. Especially with Rio. But I have faith that if we tackle each obstacle on its own we will soon have a plan for getting our family organized in the way that works for us. Rio is acting out, Jordan and I are frustrated, but I'm hoping with baby steps this all soon becomes the new "normal".

So that leads me to all of you. The visits, calls, messages of support and offers to help mean SO much to us, and as soon as we get the three of us sorted we'll definitely let you know how you can be of assistance. Once again we have been shown the astounding kindness and love of our family and friends, and it is truly overwhelming. Give us the weekend to get organized and then next week I would love visitors. Rio is in daycare for her last week and Jordan is working, so my schedule is wide open :)

Thanks again for all the love and stay tuned for more updates.
