our mo-jo has been thrown off!

Mama being put on bedrest has thrown off all of our mo-jo! With the re-arrangement of the furniture, our love seat got stowed away in Gracie's bedroom. She has a foam pad set up in our bedroom next to my side of the bed, and she has been sleeping there every night for the last week and a half. I think that even if we were to set up a makeshift bed in her room with the couch in there, she would still be in our room. I think the disruption in our lives has caused a little more emotional upheaval in her life than I had anticipated. Nothing that we all can't handle, and nothing that will cause permanent damage (hopefully!) but a change nonetheless! She is a tender heart and loves being with her mama and her daddy. 

Looking at these pictures makes me chuckle, thinking back on the post I wrote literally the day before being put on bedrest....So much for accomplishing all of those things. She has been sleeping in our bedroom (at least not in our bed) more than she did before. We have put potty training on the back burner as that is one thing that Justin doesn't need to be focusing on with everything else he has on his plate right now. And, I think her dependence (and ours, let's be honest!) on the binky has probably increased in the last week. Oh well. We are healthy and happy and love each other. Potty training will happen. Binkies will disappear. At least we are surviving this together!
