I am happy to say there is no baby yet, but I have been put on bed rest (house arrest) at least until my next doctors appointment, but likely till baby comes. Before hospital visit number one my doctor had put me on modified bed rest, so that may still be my future. Modified bed rest will allow me to leave the house to go places that require me to just sit and lounge (like the pool), but I can't go anywhere by myself with the kids (can't pick them up, carry their pool toys, chase them into the car when its time to go). Aaron has had to take medical leave from work to help and a few friends and family members have very kindly offered to take the kids on the days he has to go into work.
It is a tough situation to be in because Aaron has a great job that he loves and really only just started. He moved to another office in March where he isn't the guy in charge anymore, so it isn't as easy to take time off. Or at least not as easy to not feel guilty about it. I'm hoping that we can work something out where he can work three days a week and we can have help those days, but it is just so much to ask people! I know that people are willing to help, but they have lives too! I know it will all work out in the end, Aaron isn't worried, so I'm not going to be either.
To keep me busy I hopped online last night and ordered myself a cute book on needlefelting, a starter kit and some roving. I got the tracking numbers for both packages today and am very excited to get started on some cute little guys. Peanut loves all things tiny and sweet, so they'll be right up her alley.
I'm also on the lookout for books to read while I'm imprisoned. Any recommendations? Any local gals willing to come over and lend me some? Or just come for tea and cake, lol? Caffeine was also banned, so I won't be having coffee. I had just started drinking it again, too.
