Bed Rest

Well I made it to 33ish weeks! Sometimes it's difficult to believe that we will have a baby so soon!  Unfortunately it could be sooner that I would like.  As we speak I am on bed rest for preterm labor.  I get very painful contractions if I do just about anything (and I mean anything, it's ridiculous).  I just want to last until 36 weeks!  In the back of my mind, though, I will be surprised if I make it another week.  There have been some very close calls.  We're trying our best!

On the bright side, during the olympics is probably the best possible time to be confined to your bed, especially in the middle of the night with contractions.  I basically live on London time!  As a result I have become OBSESSED with everything olympics: the medals, all the players, the events, everything.    Also, it anyone feels the need to come over and keep me company, I'd love it :)

And there was never a better time for us to have made all those freezer meals (see previous post).  It has helped so much!  I call it inspiration.  Somehow the Lord knew we would very much need it in the coming weeks.

Joseph has been amazing through all of this.  He willingly gets everything I need, helps me get through particularly painful contractions, and has made so many sacrifices for our Lydia already.  I couldn't do this it without him!  Thank you love!

Well that's all the update.  I promised I would get a picture, and completely failed on that promise.  I am   motivated to get one now, though, because it very well may be my last.  Look for it on facebook once we actually take it!
