Thus continues the newest installment of Amy and the Bed Rest Chronicles
Unsurprisingly, there is a lethargy that comes from laying in bed all day for days and days on end. It can be difficult to muster up the gumption (its my grandpa's word) to get anything done - especially my activities are seriously limited. On the flip side, endlessly watching Netflix does nothing to help with the overall grey feeling that settles in. It is like one of those woven finger pulls.
Here are a few things that have brightened up my Friday:
1) Tulips from Josh. He loves me and says I am an amazing Mom. I got flowers.
2) Nail polish. We will not discuss last time I painted my toes. Lets just say the month ended in an "R." I am too ashamed to say more than that.
3) Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting. My wonderful, beautiful mother had this cake delivered to me a couple of days ago. I have enjoyed every bite and am looking forward to another piece after dinner tonight!
4) Baby Gifts. My mother and sister have been giving me things for the baby for months and I have generous friends who have passed along hand-me-downs. (Thanks Lindsay and Miranda). Yesterday, the first gift from my registry arrived and I am over the moon for these Aden + Anais Swaddles. They are soft and breathable and will be perfect for Joey this summer.
5) Hot Tea. A couple of weeks ago, my mother was here taking care of my while Josh took his Comps for his PhD. She ended up buying me some delicious tea from Teavana and I have been drinking a pot a day for weeks.
What are 5 things for you this Friday? Tell me yours, I'd love a glimpse outside this bedroom.
I am following along with lovehappydaily's Every Day in May blog prompts. Todays' prompt: Five things you love on a Friday.
Yum, such a good looking cake. Some of my 5 happy things today is a new BBQ chicken burger recipe, and a re-installed toilet in our master bathroom (finally, yay!).
ReplyDeleteAnd tulips are my very favorite - you absolutely do deserve them for doing a great job at being a baby growing mama :) Hang in there!
Hi Anne,
DeleteThank you for stopping by. Yay! Your toilet is reinstalled. I know you guys have been working diligently on your bathroom remodel. It will be wonderful when it is completed. Those projects seem to take a bit longer than expected.
The cake has been amazing. I have enjoyed every bite. Thankfully I have had some company stop in this week and have been delighted to have cake to share.
Happy Mother's Day to you.
