Bedrest Sucks!!
May 7, 2008
Ok, So Ive been on bedrest for 35 days now and I am so tired of it. TV sucks (excep for Grey’s Anatomy) and Im finding it hard toconcentrate on reading which is weird cause I love reading.. And Im getting on Shauns nerves!! He has been great but he is having to clean house, do laundry, take care of the dogs, make meals, and get me decent snacks at least every two hours, oh yeah, and go to work. And to think, this is nothing compared to the adventure we are about to embark on!! He bought me a PSP the other day which was awesome of him. That I can play for a long time and has helped to pass the time.
I still havnt figured out what to do about school. i have to let them know if Im quiting or what. Dont know if they will give me a 5 year leave. Personally I would like to be a stay at home mom who volunteers at school and takes pics for fun in my spare time.
We found our dream house in East Sooke. Its 2600 sq ft w/ 4 bedrooms and 3 bedrooms and a den. It looks very open, sits on over 1/2 an acre, and has a veranda that wraps around the front and sides. Oh how that would be a perfict fit for our new family!
It seems lately that the Straker family has been hit hard with health issues. My cousins daughter kendra has cancer, my auntie Carole has cancer, I have a pregancy that couldnt be more high risk, my cousin Lorelie is in constant physical pain. Our family has always seemed pretty healthy despite a few bumps and bruises. Hard to see what Gods plan is with all of this. I just pray that at the end of allthis we all come out healthy and stronger in our faith because of it. I have to admit, I definitly struggled w/ my faith throughout my pregnancy. It seemed like every time we went to the doctor (which is a weekly thing) I was getting more bad news and being faced w/ decisions I dont wish upon anyone. But I came back to God each time and chose to keep all of my babies despite the risks. I figure God put them all there for a reason and He can see the bigger plan. As hard as this has been, God is getting me through it all. Right now I really hope that noting bad happens before the weekend b/c my parents are going to Europe for 3 weeks and I really want them to go. They deserve this trip and i want them to enjoy themselves.
