How can I ever thank my husband, family and friends? 
Thanks to Julie for putting away a few things in my kitchen! She spoiled me and our babies! She sent quite a few care packages to my parents house. All kinds of stuff to keep me busy during bedrest, and also a bunch of cute baby stuff! She is someone that has been there the entire time.
Who doesn’t like new clothes?? I had outgrown all my regular clothes and was wearing Colter’s work shirts…not cute! My mom surprised me by purchasing me some comfy maternity clothes. It brightened my day, to say the least!
Growing up my cute mom always cut our toast in the shape of a heart for Valentine’s Day, and 2011 was no exception! When I woke up my heart shaped toast was sitting by
“my” chair. And I did have “my” own chair while I stayed at my parents. I spent a lot of hours in that chair!
What can I get you, Shan?
I heard this all day long from each one of my family members! Oh, how I love them!
Jadon is the Best Juice Maker!
I was told by doctors to drink as much fluid as possible in hopes that Baby A would be able to build up his fluid.
Tacos and homemade fries are my favorite! Notice everyone dished up my meals? That was so sweet because that meant I didn’t have to get up.
My mother made sure I had 3 square meals per day…and plenty of snacks. I wish I would have taken a picture of the table next to “my” chair. It looked like a pantry!
Back up off me, I was starving! Haha!
Okay, this picture makes me laugh! Not only is Addie modeling her new Hooter’s shirt, but if you look close, you can see a black plate with her famous No-Bake cookies! Mmmm…those sound good right now! My dad is so proud of her Hooter’s shirt…not really.
And my cute dad bringing me another mug of ice water! Notice the background in all of the pictures I took were the same, that is because I sat in the same spot every.single.day! Dad also made sure I had cheese with each meal! What a good dad:)
This is Kira and Trycen hanging out with me. Kira served me way too many cookies this day:) And I think she ate a few too!
I didn’t get a picture of the chef himself, but Colter made me some pretty gourmet meals! Including some yummy breakfast!
This came from my mother’s kitchen, and it was yummy! She spoiled me, huh?
Enjoying me some tacos. Notice the mug to my right, my phone on the chair, and the picture albums to my left. My mom tried giving me little jobs to make the time pass. I think I had too much on my mind to get much accomplished. But I did help put a few old pictures in these picture albums. It was fun to remember all of those fun times in the past! I love my family!
Panic Attack!
I knew I was getting closer to having these babies, and I did not have one thing purchased for them.
I had a fear of purchasing a bunch of stuff, and then having no babies. So to protect myself, I didn’t buy anything.
My mom came to the rescue…AGAIN! We were told it was most likely two girls, so these are a few cute outfits my mom got for them!
This is the last pregnant picture I had. Notice the maternity clothes! :)
My cute mom…already spoiling these babies!
Look how cute these little shoes are!
And then there was some entertainment!!
Addie and Trycen playing by the couch so I could play too:) Yes, I did take over the couch a few times! Change of scenery!
Isn’t he a good Grandpa? He was playing dump trucks with Trycen! I think Trycen wondered why I never got down on the floor to play with him. :(
Trycen loves Grandpa!
BJ and Trycen hanging out with me! Aren’t they cute?? BJ would go to class in the mornings, then be home to hang out for a while before he had to go to work. I may or may not have done some of his homework! Haha
Trycen wasn’t the only one entertaining me, Addie was too! Isn’t she cute? She would hang out with me after school. I had her schedule figured out so I knew which day she didn’t have a 4th hour.
Lovely picture, right? Jason and Sheri came to visit and brought the game that is sitting on the table. It meant a lot that they would come over. Colter’s parents and Grandma & Grandpa Leishman also brought meals! It was always nice to see visitors. :)
Oh.my.goodness!
Please don’t let me be a redneck! Colter was taking me back up to Idaho, and he thought Tafi had to go! Seriously? This is the back seat of my car. He put the back seat down so she could hang out in the trunk/back seat. I was not happy. She would get hot, so we would have to unroll the window. Remember, it was winter outside. We couldn’t take the pickup because it would have been too bumpy. It was a long ride up to Idaho Falls. But I do still love my husband!
I have a special friend that I have known since 7th grade. We have been friends off-and-on thru the years. We became closer during this trial in my life. She kept me sane, and still does. She checked on me every day, and still does. We exchanged multiple emails/texts per day, and still do. I would like to thank her. She listened to all my fears. She gave me advice. But most of all she gave me HOPE.
Thank you Natalie.
I don’t know what I would have done without these people. We would not have had these babies without their help. Colter took care of everything, including me! My mom took care of me while I was in Idaho Falls. I didn’t cook, clean or do laundry for the entire eleven weeks of bedrest.
Thank You!
