Bed Rest then sickly

Right after bed rest concluded both of us came down with sinus infections. While the man is well on his way to recovery I am still feeling my sinus infection. I hope to beat this thing in a day or two.

Bed rest has concluded

I am now off bed rest. I am very glad that is finished and hope that I will not have to do it again.

I now have a sinus infection and have not been sleeping well due to that.

And now since you know it all and all my erronds are done for the day, I am headed back to the couch!

Bed Rest

I have been on bed rest since Friday afternoon. It will end when I wake up on Tuesday morning... I am really restless but for now the story.

Last Tuesday I started having some pains in my belly. Since they weren't very bad and in no way consistant I just kind of let it go. I told the man about it on Wednesday and has some pains during the day and a few that night. Thursday came around and basically the same thing. But the man made me promise that if/when they came back I would call the Doctor. I did and they said we will see you tomorrow but if you have more pain go to labor and delivery. We I had just a few pains and not very strong so I waited it out.

On Friday morning I went into the doctor. She said "sometimes it is the ligaments that hold your uterus in place and sometimes it is nothing that they can find but you do have some Fibroid Tumors and it could also be that." So she wanted another ultrasound and the bad thing with this was that there tech was off so they had to find someplace else that would take me on such short notice. They did find someplace and we went to the appointment and when the tech put the ultrasound on she said "this is where you are feeling the pain, isn't it? This is one of your Fibroids."

So when this tech was done she went to her doctor to tell him the results he decided he wanted to see it live for himself so now I got Ultrasound number 2. He confirmed the same thing that the tech did, it was the tumor.

We then went home waited the hour and called my doctor. She said the report should be on my fax let me call you right back. Wow she did. She confirmed what the other doctor told us and that I also needed to reduce one of my medications and she wanted me to be on bed rest through Monday.

Just to be sure we don't cause any harm to the baby, who by the way is very active.

You dream of days you can just say in bed and not have to do anything, no dishes, no cleaning, no laundry...but when someone tells you you have to be in bed...it takes all the fun out of it.

I will be thrilled come Tuesday morning. And then even happier come Wednesday when we go to see the doctor again.

We are getting closer

Last week just before the 4th of July holiday I had another ultrasound. This is just one of several pictures we got from this appointment. The baby appears to be doing well. He, yes he is still a he is about 3 pounds now which puts him in the 68th percentile. He is also in a breech position now which I am so ready for him to turn. My bladder can't take too much more. Neither can our water bill...

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe 4th.
