We are about to start week 3 of complete bed rest for Rebecca. Today starts week 37 in this pregnancy. She goes to the hosp. every other day for a non stress test and blood work. The Dr. would like to hold out until week 40 if she can. Becca is trying really hard to be pleasant and put on a happy face. It's hard for her. Miss Mim and The Dude are doing ok. Becca is telling them that Mommy is "sick" and will get better soon. It's a balancing act between what is best for the baby and for the Mommy. So we wait. I am doing everything I can to help their little family maintain their routine. The kids get to school and get picked up. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are made. They get lots of hugs and play time. Bed time stories are read. Jason and I are getting the laundry done. Other household tasks are getting done. Jason has been working from home as much as he can. He lets the kids play in his office when he is in there and he plays with them every chance he gets. And so we wait.

We are about 1 month from the arrival of our new grandson. He is doing well but, Mommy isn't. She is on complete bed-rest. It's been about a week and she is going stir crazy. The little guy needs to cook for another month and then everything should be ok.
