Week 3 of bed rest, and doing ok.

Hi everyone! Here we are on week 3 of bed rest and doing ok. I'm now 35 weeks and 37 is considered term, so as long as he sticks around here for another week, we'll be fine!! I went to school last Thursday to talk to my students and pretty much say goodbye. I stayed there longer than I should have, and by the time I got home I was having some major contractions. I made sure to take it easy after that, and I have been doing better! I've still been swelling pretty badly and trying to keep my feet up. Bed rest isn't all it's cracked up to be. I do admit that it is nice to sleep in and not have to go to work, but at the same time I am getting cabin fever and have watched enough TV to last for a long time!! I think I am ready not to be pregnant anymore!


Benjamin has been in Florida this week for work, so my Mom has moved in with me until he comes back Friday. It has been nice to have some company since I am basically on house arrest! We make good roommates, and it is nice to know if I do go into labor in the middle of the night I have someone here. THANKS MOM!!


Nothing much more to report. This little boy is still kicking like Jackie Chan!! I'm not sure I've dropped yet, but I am feeling him trying to move into position! I am getting a little anxious about delivery, but I guess that is normal. I am getting to be so uncomfortable that labor is kinda looking like a welcome experience even if it is scary! I'll see some of you Saturday at the baby shower!
