TRIPLE BLESSED!!!: So what do I do all day in 4311???

So it's often wondered what I do all day in 4311. Following are just a few of the things that keep me busy. So busy in fact, I have not been bored once, really! And anyone who know me understands that I am easily bored. Maybe that's one of the reasons God is giving me triplets :-).

Three seasons of Grey's Anatomy and both seasons of Jericho. The writer's strike couldn't have come at a worse time for me. I MISS TIVO!!!

Make jewelry... Thank you Mary, for introducing me to my 'crafty side'. Until this project, I didn't even know it existed.

I became so crafty, I can now make signs, cards, Blue Moons, etc. The sky is the limit!

With Mom, Dad, Craig, and even some nurses, we make weekly 'weight' predictions... The babies, not mine!

Visit with my mom and dad every weekday, yes EVERY weekday, no matter the amount of snow, wind, or ice. We eat non- hospital food. Actually we trade... I eat the lunch they bring in for me, and they eat my hospital food (fruit plates, brownies, corned beef sandwiches, grilled cheese, and pizza are their favorites). Dad and I also hide the skunk and the three of us play games daily. As far as who wins, I think I definitely won the skunk game, as I didn't break any ceiling tiles, and as far Chinese Checkers, it's really anyone's game.

Visit with Kelly and Charlie every week. And Charlie, who isn't even 2, is such a good sport during the visits, and always brightens my day.

No picture here, but Craig treated me to a 'Spa Day'. He arranged for a elite salon to send a girl to the hospital to give me a facial and brow wax. Oh, it was amazing!!!

Eat Cold Stone every Wednesday to celebrate another week of being pregnant. Take a look at my ice cream shelf. I think it's pretty cool, and it will even be better if it magically goes away once the babies are born!!!

Visit with my hubby every evening. We do a bunch of stuff to make the time go by, but my favorite is listening to him read a story to the boys every night. He gets the babies so riled up, I had to create a "Do Not Read" list for when I am really tired. I hope I always remember this special time, and I also hope the boys always listen to their daddy like they do now!!!

Visit with Mom and Dad S. They come up often, to visit me and take care of their son.

Shop for new household items on-line. While Craig is at a store I am on their webpage looking at the same items. Not the most ideal way to decorate a home, but it works for us. By the way, the new ceiling fan looks great Craig and Ron!!!

Enjoy hearing about all the preparations that are being taken care of for the babies. This picture makes it appear that we have all the 'stuff' needed to care for those boys.Socialize with the whole hospital crew... nurses, aides, house keepers, Eucharistic ministers, photographers, doctors... Really just about anyone who came in my room was there for a while... I wouldn't say I kept them hostage, but I think I made it hard for them to leave. I returned to my room after a Doctor's appointment to find Chris and the triplet bears sleeping in my bed. Too cute!!!

Look at the special outfits Angelika made A, B, and C. How original!!!

Enjoy the changing of the seasons with my always current holiday decorated room. Feel like I am at home with some personal items I keep above my bed. Two that I will always remember... 1. The nativity set that Aunt Elaine and Uncle Rich gave me. It has been proven to have extra powers (Its' going in kept the boy's nursery after they are born). 2. The wedding picture book we gave my grandma before she passed. My Eucharistic minister looked at the picture on the cover and told me that she couldn't even recognize me in the picture (only 3 1/2 years later!). NOT the best thing to say to anybody, especially a lady carrying triplets!Keep my social calendar in order... Seriously, it is ridiculous how much 'entertainment' my family and friends come to visit. Not including Craig's parents or my own, I had a visitor every day I wanted one. Oh do I feel loved! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
