Blessed with Family and Friends

We are so blessed with such great friends and family! Over a dozen friends visited while we were in the hospital to help us keep our mind off the stress of all that was going on. We got phone calls from everyone and continual emails and texts from friends checking in on us. And we got bouquets, magazines, goodie bags, etc. Such a blessing.

And my family, they are amazing! The Visocan side called continually checking in and sending text prayers, and the Dana's were unbelievable!!! Susie was there with me from the beginning, helping get everything for the hospital since I wasn't able to do it, and staying at hospital to keep my focus of the stress, and bringing dinner in when the hospital food didn't sound good. Bernie stopped by every day to visit and would call at least once a day for updates on the babies and to see how I was feeling. I don't think I have ever felt so loved!!!

Home now, and so grateful to be here. But will see it is a little more nerve racking. I don't do well, as my college roommate would agree, with people serving me or doing things for me and feel like if I am home I should get my own water, make my own meals, etc. But Kyle is so wonderful and has really stepped up to the plate. He has made me every meal, gets me drinks before I even need to ask, cleans up my mess, gives me extra pillows in the bed so I can get comfortable and don't have to sleep on the couch, and the whole nine yards. And Kyle's mom did grocery shopping for us today, made us dinner that Kyle only had to throw in the oven, and stopped by to check on us. And his dad called today to check on the babies.

Mood today is grateful and humble!
