On Wednesday after many calls with the doctor Rich and I headed to Adventist labor and delivery. I had started to have contractions among a few other symptoms that my doctor felt needed to be checked. We quickly found that little Benjamin was doing just fine. He has a strong heartbeat and moves apparently more than the average babe. However I was having mild contractions so they gave me a dose of uterus relaxer and my contractions let up. I was then sent home with strict bedrest until the next morning when I was to call my doctors office.
Thursday morning I call and my doctor has decided to keep me on bedrest until my next doctor appointment. My next appointment is MAY 10th!! I am supposed to be laying down most the time and have limited permission for sitting and standing. So the last couple days has definitely been an emotional rollercoaster - we are so blessed that everything is okay with Benjamin and even that things are going well with me, but then at the same time I am overwhelmed at the thought of another month on bedrest. The reason for keeping me on bedrest is just to keep the contractions to a minimum and keep the little man in as long as possible.
Please be praying for
-bedrest to be effective and for everything to remain calm in there.
- Rich as I am unable to do cooking, cleaning, laundry... etc.
- my attitude...I tend to get grumpy when I am stuck laying around.
Thank you all for your support! I would love any company or phone calls since I tend to get quite bored. Also if you have any movie or book recommendations I would love to hear it :)
