I had a wonderful trip in South Florida and in Jamaica. I am back...but we barely got to our friend's house in mid-Florida to repack my husband's camp gear and canoe when we got a phone call that daughter was having problems with premature labor---6 weeks early. We drove late into the night and then left Savannah, Georgia early the next morning and drove straight home.
I spent the hours of that evening unpacking and doing laundry and then early yesterday drove up here to my daughter's house to take care of her now that she is on bed rest for as many weeks as possible.
I should loose much weight in the coming weeks as the laundry room and coffee pot and my bedroom are in the basement, the kitchen and kids rooms are on the main floor and daughter is tucked away upstairs! It seems they had four loads of laundry waiting for me and only odds and ends of food to cook, so, this morning I am heading out to the grocery to buy sustenance. I have a renewed respect for those taking care of invalids!! Daughter was glad to see me as she kept getting forgotten at mealtimes, Hubby was so busy with the kids.
Working on the over 700 (!) photos that I took on my recent adventure, and I will post a few now and again as I wait for this third grandchild to grace us with (his I am guessing) presence.
WOW! You are making me tired just reading about it all. Good luck with the grandchild and I hope you get some time to rest!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. What a homecoming, and it sounds like you'll be dug in there at your daughter's house for some time. I'm sure she very much appreciates your presence, what a good mom and dad you two are. I hope the coming weeks bring good health to the whole family.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had to come back under these circumstances but am glad you're back.
ReplyDeleteI suspect you are going to have very little free time in the coming weeks but I'll hope you catch time now and then to post.
Oh my, you do have your work cut out for you....
ReplyDeleteI hope the little one stays in the oven....sounds strange when written, but, you know, I hope, what i mean....Being a NICU nurse, tell that baby to stay put!
Sending best thoughts for your daughter and grandchild. Remember to rest a bit your own self.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice trip, and got back before the trouble started. I agree, you are going to be busy awhile!
ReplyDeleteWe aren't going anywhere. Take your time. Take care of you and yours. Sending warm and best wishes your way.
ReplyDeleteGosh - you're busy and going to be busier! Hoping all goes well with daughter and grandchild.
ReplyDeleteSo they don't know if it is going to be a boy or girl? You are such a good mommy. There was nothing better during my pregnancies than to see my mom walk through the door at all the difficult moments. Glad you are there to remember to feed her. You will be a twig when this is over with all those stairs. Bless your heart and everyone's hearts.
ReplyDeleteWoooo---welcome home from a vacation... One is supposed to come home to REST after a vacation.. But--you have come home to WORK.... You know there is a reason that God gives young children to young adults!!!! ha ha ....
ReplyDeleteGlad you are there to help your daughter though... I hope she will be okay and can carry this baby to term...
Can't wait to see pictures from your trip.
Hugs,
Betsy
Welcome home, Tabor, you have been missed. I hope your daughter is doing well - such premature labor is scary stuff, and you are ALL in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back. All good wishes to your daughter and her family for a good, healthy outcome. Don't forget to take a little care of yourself too.
ReplyDeleteEarly calving is no fun, but if anyone can handle it, you are the one. Best wishes for a full term little one, rest up!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are able to be with your daughter and her family. That's what life is really all about. I look forward to seeing your vacations shots, in time!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. Thanks for the update. So sorry about daughter - but I know that now mom and grandma are on duty - all will be well. Best of thoughts and blessings to you and all of the family. I pray the new little one arrives exactly when it is suppose to. My youngest (Jamie) was 3 weeks early at 6 lbs.
ReplyDeleteNope, three floors don't let me get skinny. All that love you are putting out will tho. Thank you for doing this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame and what bad luck for all concerned. If the image that you have posted, though, is an earnest of what's to come, we at least are in for a treat. Blessings to all of you.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, three floors are a good reason to lose a bit of extra poundage. You'll son get into the swing of things.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the new baby.
Just wondering how things are going....Hope your daughter is behaving....
ReplyDeleteThey say that keeping busy keeps you young, so glad you are zooming around! I know that the family is glad to have you along for the ride, and will be thinking good thoughts for this new grandbaby and all the family.
ReplyDeleteGee whiz, What a way to wind up a vacation. Hope all goes well for your daughter and that "baby" stays put until it's time to show up!
ReplyDeleteBoy, your daughter is lucky to have a mom like you to get her through this tough time.
Hope all goes well for all in the family.
