Well we are officially in day 2 of bedrest, I am going nuts. Today I woke up, took a shower, went downstairs, ate breakfast, and slept till noon. I feel really tired today. Rob bought me a “sims” game last night while he was at work. He is so sweet. He is trying to be so understanding, yesterday I did not handle all this to well. I feel so extremely guilty just laying here and having to ask him to do things, after he has just worked 24 hours in 2 days. I have this fear that he is going get annoyed really quickly. I just can’t stand it. I am excited though, tonight my dad and brother are coming over to move some furniture for me so that I can get this nursery started. YEAH!!! I feel like I am so behind. We ordered our bedding….and got a great deal! Super Yeah! I can’t wait to see it in person. It was something that was only available online, so I hope it is just as cute in person. I am going to make an attempt at attaching a pic, so you all can see the bedding! We are adding a few monkey things around the room to baby/cutsey it up. Not overdoing though! I must admit this is the fun part.

Well, it looks like I am on an unexpected vacation. Friday I had another Dr appt, and was put on bedrest. The good thing is, it is not “strict” bedrest. Which means I can still get up and move around, and go some places. I am just to take it easy as much as possible. I know I am not going to be good at it. I have already been scolded a hundred times by Rob, not to do certain things. I just feel so guilty, just sittin around…making him do everything. I just can’t stand it. I hope I get used to it. So for the next 12 weeks…I will be just hangin out and incubating this baby! The second I feel like I have mentally prepared myself for this, someone asks me about it, or I just sit and think about it and I freak out a little. I just want the baby and myself to be healthy. Ill be going to see the doctor’s about once a week now, just to keep checking everything out. So far, things look good. I have only gained about 5 lbs so far, and the baby weighs about 2 and a half or so. He looked good in the last ultrasound. I can’t wait to see him, real live and in person…..but not till its time!

Well it was quite a week. I had an appt on Tuesday with my OB and was sent directly to the hospital. My bp was pretty high. So I didn’t have to call in for a tour of the labor and delivery wing of the hospital, we got a hands on feel for what it is like. After a few hours of testing and blood pressure monitoring I was sent home….on strict bed rest. This is something I am not good at. By 10:00 am the next day I was SO bored and already feeling like I was going insane. Well, my Dr. called and she upped my meds and sent me back to work for the week. We did get another ultrasound on Thursday and everything looks good! Our little one is over 2lbs already! I can’t believe it! He’s getting so big! So, for now I am supposed to “take it easy”, go to work and come home. Take it light on the sodium, and wait till Friday to see what she has to tell me then! So say a prayer that everything is okay, and I can keep on going for a few more weeks….there is SOO MUCH TO DO! Well, that’s enough about my eventful week. Ill keep it updated with what’s going on!

A big week ahead. Well I have a few Dr appts this week, one with my normal Dr. She has put me on the every two week schedule…so it is just the routine check up. I will also have that second ultrasound I was suppose to have a couple weeks ago, I had to reschedule but the time has come. I am excited to see my baby again, it is getting a little more nerve racking as time goes by. You read stuff, people tell you things, all trying to be informational but it scares the daylights out of you! I’m not worried or scared much at all about being a mom……just getting him here healthy is what is taking a toll. I want everything to go as smoothly as possible. I just cannot get this nagging feeling that he will be here early. I will just continue to pray (I hope you all are praying with me!) I know that this whole situation is in the Lord’s hands. I must say it is the weirdest feeling in the world! To care so much about this little baby that I have no clue what he looks like, but can feel occasionally…..All that stuff aside, I am so worried we wont be ready! There is so much to do, I am just so tired to do it….lol I’m sure it will get done, well it will have to! Anyway, I am so blessed things have gone so great this far. I’ll be sure to post what we learn this week!

Well this week was a long one! There is just so much going on and so much to do! Rob and I did get alot done this week. We went to BabiesRus and we are officially registered…ya know, it is fun to do, but I was so exhausted after we were done. It’s draining trying to figure out what you will need, and not feel selfish, cause you know people are gonna be buying this stuff for you. I will just be so greatful for whatever we get. Also, the other big thing is….we cleaned our basement! WOOHOO! We both just have so much “stuff” it was a nice feeling to throw stuff out and organize. NOW we can start on the babies room! I feel ready now. Let’s see, Oh I had another Dr. appt. all went well. My BP was pretty low, but she said to keep an eye on it, because it could start going up here in a few weeks. I now start going back every 2 weeks to make sure everything is okay. As of now I have gained a whopping 2 lbs this whole pregnancy. I don’t mind gaining weight, I am pregnant! I just don’t want to gain a ton all at once. I am going to try to be careful!
