Hiking Along the Potomac...

William fishing for his breakfast...
Hauling logs in the woods...
We think this is a "Virginia Bluebell" but don't quote us....
William was planning on bringing home this large rock to me, Thankfully Jason persuaded him not to...



William looks disappointed as his fruit snack falls off the rock...
The Potomac River. William told me that the water was "rushing really fast" when he got home.
William insisted on hauling the backpack for a while. He was a little staggery...
Will got a gingerbread man at the store on the way home and brought it into bed with me, along with the crumbs...




Since I am stuck here at home, on my left side, Jason took William out for some fun and energy burning. I love how close we are to the Potomac. We have so many trails around and the tow path less than 15 minutes from our house! William loves hiking and came back home very excited. He saw a spider, a bumble bee, and a chipmunk, which he was eager to tell me all about. He was also thrilled he got to go peepee in the woods, a highlight of any little boy. I was sad to miss out on all this fun, but honestly, I don't think I could have made it at this point.

Feeling sooooooo bad for you on bed rest. I can't even imagine it. I was so horribly uncomfortable in bed at the end I think it would have been torture to be stuck there for a month. How on earth are you surviving?

I am reading, and cheating. I move to the couch for a while, then eventually feel weird and move to the bed again. I try and limit the stairs as much as possible. Jason is bringing me anything I need when he is home and I just combine things as much as possible. For example, if I am getting up to go potty, I get another drink at the same time. It stinks, but thus far, I am surviving.
