Bedrest

Dr Feldstein came in this morning (wearing a Cubs shirt!) and said he will definately send me home Tuesday, assuming there is no bleeding. So that's great! He did reiterate however that I need to take it easy. For all of you who know me, "taking it easy" is not something I know how to do well... SO I asked a lot of questions, specific questions, so I could get a feel for what I can and should not do because God knows I do not want to come back here sooner than necessary!

Basically he said "take it easy". To me "taking it easy" means slowing down only slightly but that I can still be in constant movement like I tend to always be in! He laughed I think because he knows I am a bit of a busy body. SO, he got frank with me... he said I need to restrict my activity level, including no walks, cutting back on work, avoiding heavy lifting, avoid stairs (yeah right) or prolonged standing, and resting for a few hours each day (he said to try and be off my feet for at least 5 hours a day)

Ok, that alone took the wind out of me... I barely have 5 hours a day to myself to get stuff done because I spend so much time chasing Henry! Anyway, he said no walks around the block with the dog or Henry, limited time on my feet preparing food and only minimal housework, as long as I do not lift anything.

All that aside, I DO NOT want to come back here until the baby is born, hopefully after 34 weeks so I guess I have to do whatever to keep this kiddo cookin'!

I have to say I am thankful I live in these modern times... I can order groceries online or shop for just about anything online and even order food online! I'm also thankful to have so many people around to help entertain Henry... he's got a little energy these days and likes to play rough!

Signing off to order my "portion controlled" dinner!
