Teaholic not quite anonymous

Well, although I am feeling much better today I can't lift much yet--that definitely includes Maddy. So yesterday while talking to Matt's parents they offered to come up to give me a hand with Maddy so Matt can get back to work. I took them up on that in a heartbeat. Honestly, Matt would most likely still have had to stay home today if they hadn't come up. I just can't lift her and leaning over her crib would be impossible. Now, she can walk and climb up stairs (while being spotted) but going down is still difficult for her and she has to get her diaper changed which includes a lot of bending over for me. Not to mention, just the day to day activities that include bending over to pick things up. I can walk and that's about it.

But anyway!! The reinforcements (grandparents) drove up last night and probably got here about midnight. We didn't even hear them come in since they came in at ground level and went straight to their room. I felt bad for them though, since Maddy got up at 6:20 this morning they didn't get much sleep.

Matt did a great job yesterday taking care of Maddy and me. He prepped the spare room for his parents as well--changed sheets/towels/cleaned the bathroom. He really could be Suzy homemaker. I could tell he was really tired last night though, after Maddy was asleep and he finished cleaning the spare room. I think he was glad to get back to work today. I can't blame him--getting thrown into a new situation, all by yourself for the entire day is tiring no matter what job it is.

Obviously, there isn't much new with me. I've been laying most of the time and venturing out of bed to walk around when I just can't stand it anymore. Matt wants me to continue to lay, but I want to stretch my back a bit, too. Limber it up some. I have finished a record number of magazines in the last day, caught up with correspondence and did make my mug. It turned out cute, but took a lot longer than I thought it would. I can see why scrapbooking takes so long! I'm glad I've never got into that. Just the cost alone would kill me, plus, I'm not good at intermittent stopping. I tend to get obsessed and want to finish things in one sitting. I definitely couldn't do that with scrapbooking since it takes a while. But the stopping would kill me!

Ok, going to venture a shower. I couldn't lift my legs high enough yesterday to take one.

Tea of the day: Coffee, splenda and creamer since Matt made a pot.
WO of the day: nothin'
