Hey, ladies! Send Leony some love when you can. Here's her latest post.

Leony,
I've been thinking about you a lot and what a strong person you are! Your frustrations are completely understandable, and I give you so much credit for being able to express how you feel right now. Let it out, it helps. I had been thinking about what terrible timing it was for your husband to being going through cancer while you are going through placenta previa. But, then I thought maybe the timing was somehow right. Without the day-to-day distractions around the house and the daily grind of your jobs, maybe this is a special time for you both to focus only on each other, and of course your baby.
Life on bed rest is so very slow, but perhaps your life has slowed down right now for a reason. Time is standing still for you and your husband.
I hope you don't think I'm crazy or not sensitive for saying all this. I have just seen a lot of challenging situations with many women where it all really did make sense later on. Perhaps your challenging life is what brought you and your husband together, and your strength and love can help him keep going. And your baby can keep you both moving forward.
You have all the love of all the moms who have come before you! We support you! Big hugs across the ocean!!! Love, Angela
