5 days out . . .

Today has been a little better as far as nausea goes, but the emotions are right on the surface.  It's been a hard day that way.  I am still not sleeping well, even when I take something to help me get there.  I only get about 4 hours before I wake up and have to occupy myself for an hour or two before I can get back to sleep.  I've decided not to waste anymore pills, hopefully I can just "re-train" myself back to a decent sleep schedule!  Getting enough sleep will help me handle all the emotional stuff that comes along with what I / we are going through right now. 

We've had some great help today.  A friend from our last ward, Lori, came up today and took the kids for the morning.  They played at her house, she did a little shopping for me (THANKS!!), she fed them lunch, etc.  Thank you so much for doing that for me!  It meant I could lay down for a while in a quiet house and try to rest.  My mom came about lunch time and helped the rest of the afternoon.  She can't tote the baby around because her balance is bad, but she can hold her, love her, feed her, read to the kids and do all the "grandma" things.  She ate dinner with us and was able to get home before dark. We are also grateful for Sue, she brought us a yummy dinner tonight which was such a relief for me.  I'm not sure I could have faced fixing dinner today.  It is awesome having so many people around us that are willing to help out in whatever way they can.  Thanks!  We love you!
