And the leaves keep talking
MM: It has been a while. Ginny’s bed rest has not really allowed much time for blogging- or going to the bathroom for that matter. She has a Dr.’s appointment tomorrow. It has now been 6 weeks and 5 days of bed rest, but who’s counting? Me, that’s who.

thirty thanks

So this post is a little random list of some of my most recent bedrest observations. I do not presume that this is interesting, but I guess you never know.
