Bed Rest

I went to the doctor on Monday and was totally shocked when she wanted to place me on limited bed rest. I am high risk because of a blood clotting disorder anyway. But I have this added problem of too much amniotic fluid this time. When they did the fetal monitoring I was having contractions that made them nervous. Both Mags and I are fine but I have a job that doesn't allow me to rest, so I am at home for the next five weeks hangin out in bed for 2-4 hours a day. I was totally distraught about leaving my class so early. But it is kind of nice. I am sure it will get boring soon...2 days down 35 to go!

So glad you're able to stay at home and rest. You know that pretty soon there will be little to no rest so try and enjoy while you can. We'll be praying for you! Lots of love for you and Mags!

Blog everyday and you will be more happier. I am sure. Well maybe I will be more happier. We pray for you and MJ everyday.

Hmmm... That would be really hard to do. Now is a good time to catch up on some light reading and blogging, I suppose. Good thing about it is that it isn't forever. Ugh.

Ahh I'm so sorry, but do what you have to to take care of you and Mags. Personally I would love to have that order to stay in bed a few hours a day, I'm sure you are right and it'll get old fast but it sounds nice right now. I can't wait to meet this new little one. It's so soon for you, I'm sure mine will take its sweet time getting here. Love ya and miss ya.

Well...if the doctors insist on you staying at home...then what else can you do. Really, though...if you need anything from the super market or anywhere please let me know. We live too close for you to not take me up on this. If you even want a visitor, please call. Grant and I are ready and willing to occupy Cooper if necessary. I am keeping you in my prayers. :)

Enjoy the rest before Maggie comes, you will need it!

Bed rest sucks, but it is nice you have some extra time off to rest before the baby comes. You can catch up on TV or read a good book. Hang in there this time will go by fast!
