Bed Rest!

NO BABY YET!! So almost two weeks ago my doctor pulled the plug on me being able to work, he placed me on bed rest due to early labor, contractions, and edema in my legs and feet! He put me on Tributaline a medication to stop my contractions, he wants me to wait until I am at least 37 weeks before having this baby,which I understand, we want his lungs to be fully developed. I go back to see my doctor on Monday, so I am hoping he will let me stop taking the medication this week since it will be my 37th week and maybe I will go into labor. I have another ultrasound on Monday also, so hopefully everything will be good. I am getting really bored being home all the time, I would rather spend it home with a new baby than by myself. I have taken a few strolls out because tv just gets to boring!!

Hang in there! Your precious baby boy will be here soon enough. Then you'll wish for sleep, peace and quiet and sleep!

I remember being so anxious to have our first kid too. Let me tell ya, the first time that they are hollering at the top of their lungs and you're so tired that you can't remember your name, the first thought I had was "why can't I just shove her back in?" Pregnancy and all it's icky complications are rough, but sleep deprivation and exhaustion is worst. So count your blessing girl!

I know what you mean Meg, waiting for that first one has so much excitement and anticipation. It really is so special going through everything the first time, first baby movements, first delivery, first holding in the arms, first night home (a little stinky), but all worth it. Hopefully your first will be a nice and easy warmup, like Braden. Rylee has proven to be a bit more work. Love you, april.
