Bed Rest

You read that right. I'm on mandatory bed rest for the next week (at least). At my ultrasound appointment this afternoon they discovered that I was already dilating (MUCH too early). My doctor wants to head off any early labor right away, so here I sit.

Anyone want to take bets on how long it takes for me to lose my ever loving mind from boredom?

Seriously though, this sucks. Everything has been going so smoothly up to this point. I just KNEW something was wrong though when the tech said she had to talk to the Dr. before I left. Two minutes later my Dr. is on the tech's cell telling me I'm out of work and off my feet until at least next Monday.

Thankfully Randy isn't traveling for the rest of the year and is amazing (a fact I knew, but it's nice to have it smack me in the face again.) If nothing else I have a week off from cooking (and working out!)

I know it's preventative, but it's pretty hard admitting I'm not Super Woman. I'll keep everyone posted.

Jess, I already sent you a PM on The Bump, but hang in there! I am praying for you and Randy and baby Shamrock. Get some good rest and stop that dilating! I'll be thinking of you. :)

Awww baby Shamrock needs to keep hibernating for a few more weeks! Make sure to take it easy this week Jess and enjoy the time off. You always have chat and nesting. :) Miss you babe!
