Two weeks before Thanksgiving I was admitted to the Hospital with early signs of labor. I stayed for eleven days, during which time I was monitored for contractions twice a day, given corticosteroids to help with the boys lung development, and given medicine to reduce contractions. It was horrible!
We begged them to let me go home before Thanksgiving. I promised I would stay on bedrest at home and Javin assured the doctors that he would be very strict. He is...
We had plans to go to a friends house for Thanksgiving dinner, but with the new restrictions we didn't. Javin went to the store and bought all the goodies. He cooked a turkey, ham, green bean casserole, his grandmother's dressing, mac and cheese, and rolls. He said it was so hard to get everything warm at once. This was his first Thanksgiving to have to cook anything and he did it all by himself. I think I will start faking some illness around this time every year, It was delicious!
We even put our Christmas tree. He assembled the tree and then unpacked all our decorations and handed them to me when I asked. We have a nature themed tree, complete with deer antlers on the top.
I think we are both happy to have me home and are glad the we are able to spend the holidays together. This is our first (and only alone) Thanksgiving and Christmas as newlyweds and Javin's first away from his family. We miss everyone a lot and wish we could be home to celebrate with them. Next year we will have the boys, so what a blessing that will be!
