Bedrest It Is

So we've had a couple of great Dr. appointments, one even where I was given permission to sit up periodically. But as I was talking to my Dr (who by-the-way is the most amazing, goes-above-and-beyond-anything-you-can-imagine, kind of Dr) she told me the goal for this pregnancy is for me to not end up in the hospital before the scheduled c-section and to keep this baby in. So I will be down, on our wonderful couch, for the duration of this pregnancy. I can't really wrap my head around 6 months but I can do tomorrow. So I just take one day at a time.
Benson was taken such good care of by Rachel and Adalaide (although she, Adalaide, did teach him some things we'll be trying to fix for years) and now my wonderful mother is here for two months!! Isn't she great! I cried when I read she wasn't flying home until April 11. We feel so blessed with the outpouring of love and offers to help from both family and friends, it's quite overwhelming. Thank you to all!

Hey Lynette, sorry about the bedrest but I am so excited for your upcoming baby! There are many things to do and entertain from the couch. You can do it, it is so worth it! Let me know if I can do anything for you! Take care!

Congratulations Lynette!!! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!!! All I can think of is that you introduced me to the 5 hour version of Pride and Prejudice...so watch that and think of me. :-) Good luck and take care of that baby!!! My husband said he heard somewhere that "growing a baby" takes the same energy as climbing mt. Everest...:) I don't know that that is correct but I like to think so! :-) But you can do this!!! Take care!!!
