First it began with lasagna
It was innocent enough.
Our friend Jennifer called one day and said, "Mark accidentally made a second pan of lasagna. May I drop it by?"
Then we received a gift card to Boston Market from my Mom, for several meals' worth of quick pick-ups.
Word then spread to our block that I was doing a little, umm, ass-sitting for the next eight weeks, and suddenly people were signing up to bring us food every few days.
Now some friends have asked a personal chef to come to our house and make us five dishes, which consist of four meals each. Basically, this guy is going to do some fancy bulk cooking for us.
People, I know there are a lot of downsides to bedrest, believe me, but starving we are not. In all seriousness, I have to say, the generosity and kindness of others has totally blown me away these past two weeks. I was initially so worried about John being overwhelmed with having to take on all of the major tasks we normally shared. Having to barely 'make' dinner reduces so much stress, it's amazing.
So thanks, thanks, thanks to all who have helped us out with dinner, and thanks to all for all of your incredible encouragement.
This bedrest thing is going to be a breeze.
ps. 30 weeks on Saturday! Six more weeks!
