A Little Freedom

Today, I had yet another doctor's appointment. This time she said that I am allowed a little more freedom. No more resting in bed, but I'm not allowed to lift anything (especially Caitlyn-which still breaks my heart), no heavy house work, and still no work. She also told me to 'push it' a little this week. She must have read my mind and seen my face light up cause she quickly stated that I am still on pelvic rest :( She also said that depending on how this next week goes...I might be able to return to work work with light duty...we'll see. As for this past 15 days I have been doing a whole lot of NOTHING! I know that I'd said I would try to post from bed... but really nothing is exciting enough to post about. I usually wake up and my mom is already here and taking care of Caitlyn then she takes care of both us until Ash gets home and then takes care of everything... BORING! I did manage to take these 3 photos from the couch and the other 4 from outside... Here's Caitlyn helping clean the kitchen floors with the dust buster while my mom was sweeping. She's such a good little helper. So serious though! Here she is with her totally innocent face trying to steal my starbursts that Ashley bought especially for my bed rest... sneaky! Here she is probably wondering if I can tell that not only did she sneak into my starbursts... she put the entire thing in her mouth... little chipmunk. Speaking of chipmunks... Caitlyn knows the sign for chipmunk now... it's super cute (actually it's for squirrel... same thing, right?!?)
Yesterday, it was sunny and in the high 50's right before it started pouring buckets and thundering... we took advantage of the warm weather by playing with sidewalk chalk. My mom set me up in our lawn furniture out in our front yard while she drew such pretty pictures with Caitlyn. Those two are quite the artists!

Caitlyn ran around our entire turn-around looking for places to draw... It was a blast to watch... she concentrated so hard.
Here she is taking a break from all the drawing... her tiny tush slid right through the seat and she lost a shoe.

Babcia helped her find the shoe and then Caitlyn thought it'd be interesting to taste the chalk... mmm!

That's it for my exciting bed rest. Also, I somehow managed to catch a terrible cold! Seriously... I have no idea how, I really haven't gone anywhere to even come in contact with any germs. Oh well, I can't wait to get better in order to better enjoy my new found freedom!
