Rest

It is something that Isaac has said to me almost everyday for the past few weeks. "babe, try to rest today." Or "make sure you get some test today." I know that he only wants me to be healthy and safe and the same for our some to arrive baby, but as moms, do we ever truly rest?  Even when I lay down to try to sleep while Jake is sleeping, my mind races. I make mental to-do lists that go on forever. Things to-do before the new baby arrives, things to-do around the house, errands to run, what to-do about.dinner, what to-do to keep Jake occupied this afternoon, they never end. I know I need to rest. I know it is good for me to rest. I know I need to take advantage of the this time, and rest. But the lists just keep coming. However, my goal today is to truly rest. Put my mind on silent, my phone on silent, and simply rest.
