What Does Bed Rest Look Like?

Modified Bed Rest

For those that haven't heard yet I was put on modified bed rest. What does this mean, well it means I have to stay off my feet and take it easy (which I've been doing now since Thursday). I'm allowed to work from home, shower, get a cup of tea - but other than that I'm suppose to stay off my feet.

They are worried because the baby is small and they think that bed rest should help fatten her up. I'll keep you posted on what I hear. So, far there hasn't been a lot of information (other than rest and relax).

Meanwhile as of day one the cats are taking advantage of the situation and want to snuggle almost all day long. During one of my many naps yesterday you can see that Moab decided I was in need of a little attention.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Another Good Error Message

Yep - another good error message. Who thinks these things up??

Baby Shower

We had a tea party baby shower for a friend. It was great fun. Sometimes small groups of friends with lovely stories can be ideal!

Cinnamon scones!

Oh Fishy!!

I think our beloved fish is dying. He has been floating upside down and then righting himself for a few days. He was a mothers day gift from the cats some 5 years ago. He has had a long happy life - and it is heart breaking to see him like this :(

Spring?

While out on my super slow walk today I saw this!
Is it really spring? Didn't the ground hog say more winter?

What Is Up? Or In?

Are you wondering what is happening out here? Well we are all doing really well and keeping a close eye on my belly button. Will it stay an inie or become an outy? Just no telling!

Late For The Holidays

I love holiday bulbs. I like to start them around Thanksgiving and then hope they open up by Christmas. This year, however, I did not have that happen. I got this bulb from a white elephant exchange at knitting. It is a great color and in all honesty it has made the holiday season seem to last. I'm happy to have it in the window now (the start of February). Sort of like a Valentines flower!!

True Love.

My honey knows that baby and I love sushi. No raw fish - just veggies - but the little girl relaxes after I eat it (and I enjoy it too). Here is what he made me last night!

Mini Moab Vacation

Mike and I decided to take a quick little trip to Moab this weekend. It was meant to just be a quick hike and visit trip - turned out to be one of the best Moab trips. It was only for a day and a half - but that is about all I can deal with at this point. A lot more photos will be up on Flickr.

Oh Christmas Tree!

We hate putting away the Christmas tree. Just hate it. But once a year it has to happen and my DH just doesn't want to let it go!

2011 Moving.

In 2011 I tried to keep moving and keep track of what I was doing. Here is my year in review from this fantastic site (dailymile.com). It is a free site and if you care to join we could be buddies and cheer each other on!

Also if I had known I was two freaking miles away from a sweet 500 mile mark I would have gotten my butt out on New Year Eve!

Happy 2012

With the new year comes the arrival of our baby. Of course we are a few months out - but I'm not the type of person to wait too long. Here is a time laps video of Mike putting stuff together in the baby room. I especially like the cats roaming through at different points. They seem interested in what is happening in that back room.

2012 is going to be a very interesting year for us!

RIP Dear Leader

Updating Blogs & Reading

If you happen to wonder why I'm not commenting on your blog it is because my blog reader died. I'm trying to find a new one and get all my blogs set back up. I miss all of you! I wish I could remember all the blogs I like to read off the top of my head.

If you are wondering about the video this is Moab (our smallest cat) who has a new baby (an iphone cover). She carries it around, takes it to the bathroom and tries to feed it.

Happy Thursday.

Just to brighten your day!

Cats & Holidays.

I'm not sure how it is in your house - but in our house the cats seem to always want to be involved with present wrapping. This kitty takes it to a whole other level!

Half Baked.

Do you want to know what our little baby looks like half baked? Yep. We are past the half way mark and she is growing up a storm!

Oh Christmas Cookie!

It is that time in our house. The season for baking cookies. Do you have holiday baking traditions?
