So since last Tuesday when I got the phone call from my dad about my Grandpa, our lives have been a whirlwind. Tuesday I went to see my Grandpa at the hospital, Wednesday I learned that he had passed away, Thursday was Thanksgiving and I came home for my in-laws house and was sick for the rest of the night and into most of Friday. Saturday we packed up our stuff and headed to Malad for my Grandpa's funeral. Sunday was the viewing, and Monday was the Funeral. We got home Monday night and I crashed into bed and thought to myself how glad I was that it was all over and that life was going to get back to normal. I was wishful thinking I guess. Tuesday morning when I woke up our house was freezing. I thought Ben had just turned the heat down while we were gone. I went to turn the thermastate up and the heat would not come on. When Ben got home that night he played around with it for a while, but could not get it to work. We finally called someone to come and fix it but they couldn't come until Thursday. So for two days we lived with a portable heater heating our house. Wednesday I always meet Ben for lunch, well I gave him a call to see where we were meeting and he informed me that his car had been broken into at work in the middle of the day and that they had stolen his Video IPod. Ben had some of our kids Christmas presents in his back seat and they didn't take them, he also had taken his laptop to work that morning, but happened to remember it was in the car and had taken it out before it got broken into. I am glad that all we lost was the IPod and that no one got hurt but it sure made me mad.
Thursday I went to my monthly doctors appointment and found out that I was dilated to a 1 1/2 now at almost 29 weeks along so I am now back on bed rest until I hit 36 weeks. 7 weeks!!!! However, thats better then last time. I got put down at 24 weeks and had to stay down until 36 weeks. This time is a little more difficult with two kids, but we are working through it. I guess I will have a lot of time to work on scrapbooks and read so if anyone know of any really good books let me know. I have a lot of time on my hands.
I would say that I am glad this week is almost over, but I am not sure next week is going to get any better so I think I will just keep it to myself.

"When in rains it pours" comes to my mind as I read your blog. It seems like trials always happen that way. Sorry you have to be on bed rest, I know it is hard on the whole family. I'll keep you in my prayers.
I am soo sorry! I would be more than happy to get out of the house and come and help in any way! Just call me and let me know when and where!!!!
Shannon it was fun talking to you today (I was just kidding about the finding out thing...I don't think I said it with enough laughter). Seriously, we will just plan a day(s) and make it a routine and just do it. Let me know! Seven weeks will just fly by...right?!?
Bed rest stinks! Sorry things have been so crazy! Glad that the Christmas presents were left behind!
WOAH! I'm so sorry you've had such a whirlwind! I saw the fam in church without you and wondered---go to goodreads.com and join my friends list - you can find out what others are reading and how they reviewed the books. Send your little ones over to play ANYTIME!
Sorry to hear about your week, talk about no good horrible week. Ugh!
I just got done reading Hungry Games and The art of racing in the rain. Loved them both!
Oh, man Shannon! I am so sorry about everything you have gone through this week. That is crazy about the car. I remember when Jason's car got broken into, 9 years ago, I was so frustrated!!! We had to change all of our banking accounts, because his dayplanner/briefcase was stolen. Ugh! Sorry about the bed rest! If you need any help with the kids, please let me know!
Thank you so much for the baby gift - it will be well used!
I am so so sorry you are on bedrest I cannot imagine - how - you get through something like that.
Here is a great quote " if you understand "why" you can get through any " how"
