The Good, The Bad, and the Boring

THE GOOD... the babies are doing great! As of Thursday, Grayson weighed 2 lbs. 1 oz. and Ethan weighs 1 lb. 13 oz. Both of their heartbeats are really strong, and they are kicking their mommy like crazy. Daddy finally got to feel them really good last week as well.

THE BAD... At the specialist on Thursday, they discovered that my body is preparing for these kiddos to come a little earlier than we want them to. (There are a lot of technical and biologically correct terms for this, but since this is a family friendly blog, I will refrain.) So, the doctor sent me immediately to the hospital to make sure that I wasn't having contractions. Fortunately, I wasn't, so they gave me a prescription to prevent contractions and sent me on home.

THE BORING... But they sent me home to be on bedrest. Yep, bedrest at 25 weeks. We all sort of expected that I might have to go on bedrest, since I am having twins and all. But I certainly didn't expect it to be quite so early. So, I am supposed to be on my side all the time except to go to the bathroom. In case you are thinking that this might actually be a nice change of pace, or sort of fun for a few days...I probably would have agreed with you... Until it actually happened. I am all about a lazy day on the couch - I love them! But when someone tells you that you HAVE to be on the couch, its not so much fun. I've never been so motivated to get stuff done around the house in my life. And I cant move. Thank goodness for my fabulous mother that has been at my house the past two days doing amazing things like laundry, hanging pictures, and sorting through tons of baby clothes. THANKS MOM!!

So, I go back to the specialist on Monday morning to see where we go from here. Hopefully, things will look better and I wont have to be on bedrest for the rest of this pregnancy. I'll let you know how it goes...
