Our Friends, Family and Employers

I knew we had cool friends and family, but this little hiccup in our plans has really shown us both how absolutely wonderful they are. We have the most generous, helpful, and just amazing friends out there.

Here are just a few things they have done for us during our time at WakeMed:

- Eric's parents and his brothers family have been alternating taking care of Aggie. I miss her a lot but know she's in good hands with them.

- Kristen wrapped all of our Christmas presents for us. I'd done all the shopping online before the hospital stay but had no way to get them wrapped

- Nick brought us an air mattress for Eric to sleep on which has been a lifesaver for him

- We have had tons of treat brought by - dinner, brownies, cookies, hot chocolate, lunch

- My boss and coworkers have been great. The leave of absence team and disabilty people have been great to work with, and relatively easy. My boss knows I'll be out for approx 6 months between bedrest and maternity, but still calls to check in on me. And our disability coverage rocks as far as pay and benefits.

- Eric's boss and insurance have been great as well. Eric used sick days the first week we were here as we didn't know what was to come, and his boss was great about it as well. We are on his company's health insurance and it has amazing benefits

- we have had TONS of visitors

- TONS of text messages, phone calls, Facebook comments & messages

- beautiful, handmade cards in the mail

- neat care packages that have been hand-delivered and mailed - with puzzle books, travel games, magazines, TV guide, and a Pandora Charm
