I am spending more days in the week at my daughters than I am at my own home. Helping her to deal not only with the birth of a newborn, but also with health consequences as a result of the birth. What would she do without competent doctors? What would she do without me?

I know that I have to choose what I do with my time. Can I count getting up from the couch with the baby in my arms as exercise? I am not getting much more in the way of exercise.

But I am getting my water, and eating mostly healthy. Am so thankful for Spark People and what it has done for me. Thanks friends.

As I wrote this, my granddaughter woke up and was screaming. My daughter had gone to the doctor. She is back now, and the baby is sound asleep. I have some work I have to get done for a meeting I am chairing tomorrow night.
