i was enjoying my last day of "freedom" yesterday (read: sitting in the recliner at my inlaws for Easter) before being put back on bedrest.

we told the inlaws today with a card that read "Easter brings the most wonderful things...." then we wrote "and so does Halloween" and covered up the other words on it with an u/s picture. they were ecstatic :)

today i saw my doctor. she's going to see me every 2 weeks instead of the normal 4 at this point. she understands my fear and anxiety and said "this is your pregnancy, your baby and i'm here for you. if you need to come in every other week to hear the baby until you can feel it moving, then that's what we'll do" this is why i LOVE my doctor. she has great bedside manner. she said to keep my feet up as much as possible and only do what i have to do. obviously the more bleeding = more feet up. no lifting, no DTD, etc.

she said she just delivered a healthy 8.5 pound baby boy whose mom had a SCH much larger than mine and she bled the entire pregnancy. she saw her every other week, too.

i took a nap and rested before class tonight. i knew i'd be on my feet so i rested before. i have helpers most of the night and i let them do the running around and chasing kids and stuff. i was able to combine two classes, so that cuts down on the time that i have to teach.

i'm going to talk to dh tonight about establishing a schedule for the kids for bathtime, etc. we have got to get more organized if we're going to survive my becoming an invalid, er i mean my bedrest.
