I forgot to blog about my good news! I got checked on Thursday and not only had I not progressed anymore, I was back down to 1cm! I couldn't believe it! Both my midwife and I were surprised and excited. She gave me a high five! :) I owe it all to bed rest, the herbs I'm on, and prayer!! I could not have been more happy unless she took me off bed rest. The other good news I received is that if I am still doing well when I get checked again on Wednesday morning, I can go with Nathan and Addison up to visit my inlaws! I'm so excited. I have never been away from Addison that long and Addison and I haven't been up there since Christmas. I wont get to go on the girls night, do the shopping I had planned, out with friends, or really...much of anything but continue my bed rest. But I don't care as long as I get to be there and see everyone! This 5 day trip is mostly to celebrate my father in law's 60th birthday. I am doing everything I can to make sure I can go with them.
Bed rest is NOT fun! I'm not a fan. Getting a great report helped my attitude of it knowing that it is working, but I'm only a week into this and I'm so tired of it. Trying to make the most of it, but the hardest part is my body hurts. All I do is lay on one side for a while and switch to the other. Some days I would pay money just to sit up for a while! haha But if things keep going so well, I will get a little more time each week to be up. Once I hit 37 weeks I am jogging! Not really, but if he isn't here I will start running all the errands I need to for sure.
Thank you all for your prayers!! Please continue to pray for Weston when you think of us.
Thank you for my comment! It definitely makes me feel better that other people don't think I've gained alot!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that things are better! And going back to 1 cm, that's awesome! I hear of people going weeks and weeks a little dilated! So I know you can do it, and it'll all be worth it in the end! I can so sympathize on the bed rest though! That was one of the most frustrating times of Hannah's pregnancy. I couldn't hold Elijah, or drive, or anything. And I practically had to just be babysat all the time! If you ever need to vent, I'm here! But I think you are doing wonderfully, and I hope these last weeks fly by for you too!
