Day 9

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” 
― Dr. Seuss

Happy Valentine's Day! I need to start out by bragging on my husband for getting me the most beautiful bouquet of roses I have ever seen. Needless to say I got a lot of, "oohs and ahhs" from the staff around here. What a lucky girl I am!                                                                                                                     I am bummed because I did not take pictures with my last 3 visitors. I even have a note on my board to remind me to do this! It's very important to me to remember each and every person to come through these doors and see me. I won't forget them without a picture but it is very fun to have an archive. :)    

My sweet friend Athanasia and her husband Matt came by last night and brought dinner for me and Kyle. Even being 10 months pregnant, she made pork tenderloin, roasted potatoes and a delicious salad! Impressive :) She also brought me a bedrest survival gift as well as a little something for Mr. Stacey, which included my favorite swaddling blankets - ever....they are made of bamboo and super soft! The gifts came in the cutest basket I have ever seen.  We had a little hospital room double date - very romantic :)

Little outfit, swaddlers, butt balm, and a bag for wet things :) Perfect gift!

 Today was also full of fun things, from glucose tolerance tests to shots of Rhogam in the butt to more visits from supportive people. I will snap a picture with them next time they all come so beware!
Gretchen came and brought me some yummy healthy snacks as well as the complete season of the West Wing! I have not seen it and I am really excited to start this one.

  After my glucose test, I was starving! Thank goodness my friend Nancy was to the rescue! She made some home made tomato soup as well as brought me a sandwich from one of my favorite places, Barriques! I may or may not have eaten a LOT of food.  After that delicious lunch, I had to lie down and make some room. With this growing tummy, not a whole lot of food fits in at once....sooo worth is, though.

Another day went by quickly and another day filled with sweet, supportive friends.  Mr. Stacey is so loved :)
