Home Sweet Home

We are finallly home! In the past ten days I have spent only two nights in my own bed so I am beyond glad to finally land at home! My husband has me propped all comfy in bed as I continue cajolling the embyos to attach and hang on. The ride home went well. I reclined the front seat and was actually quite comfortable. Today is to be the day when I transition from bedrest to light activity so I was able to shower ( I stayed in until I was shriveled), be up for meals, etc, but I am trying to be either in bed or fully reclined in the chair in between these times. I am finding myself a bit lightheaded when I am up and about but I am sure that is a side effect of being vertical for the majority of the past 56 hours or so! On the way home we let ourselves dream a little and talked about what we would name our brood......three girls, two boys and a girl, two girls and a boy, one girl, two boys, pretty much every combination we could come up with. Right now I feel the need to be very cautious though about things like this because I am fearful of being devestated if we do not end up pregnant. I know disappointment is a risk that we all take everyday because the potential rewards are so great. But for now, I am reigning in the dreams just a bit. Over the past couple days I have fallen in love with my husband in a whole new way. He has been the ultimate selfless caretaker, comforter, encourager, and friend. When I think of him as a dad I get a ball of emotion in my throat. Several times over the past few days while I was in bed, he would lay on his belly across the bed, put his hands and face on my belly and pray for God's blessing on this procedure and for the safety and health of me and these embryos. It melts me to see a man so humbled before God and so fervent and intentional in his prayers. Every woman should be so blessed by God to have a man such as this.
God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me (this song has been in my head nonstop for the past few days - hope you all know it!)
Be Blessed, Kendra

What a whirl of emotions you both must be feeling....praying continues here. I did notice that you did not entertain the idea of 3 little boys??!! LOL!!

Love you both,
