Grandma day care... NOT

Karen is expecting a daughter in March, but is having some serious complications. She spent several days in the hospital and got sent home to be on strict bedrest for the remainder of her pregnancy. She has three very active little boys who like to eat, wear clean clothes, play, and generally take up all of her waking moments. Her husband is in school all day and has team meetings from 6 to 10 most nights. Of course I should be there helping. We are both very frustrated. Her mother-in-law has generously taken the two older boys home to Utah. It is not the most ideal situation since Karen and Ben miss those little guys so much, but it is the best solution. Karen was a nurse in the newborn intensive care unit so she knows the problems these tiny babies have, so she is taking her bedrest very seriously. She has people in her ward lined up to take Tyler and bring her lunch every day. She is so grateful for the help and celebrates each week she continues this pregnancy. Randy has been a big help too. He is getting competant in changing diapers and understanding Tyler. Ben is such a good husband, always looking for little things to help cheer her up and making good dinners. If you want to look at her blog here is the link http://www.chickachickabloombloom.blogspot.com/.
