Bedrest is no fun

This weekend I was put on bedrest.

heres the story.

So last Sunday I woke up feelin a little under the weather. We stayed home from church, I ate soup, and by tuesday felt a lot better. If you will remember from my last post, I did a lot of ''spring cleaning" last week. I didn't feel like I was over exhorting myself but I guess I was. On Friday night while Jason was at the Jazz game I started bleeding. It was dark blood that I had never seen before. I called the on-call Dr who explained that being sick makes your muscles weaker, and when your uterus muscles are weakened, the lining of the sac can tear away. So he said I probably tore my sac a little, but because there was no more bleeding, or cramping that went along with it, he didn't think there was anything to worry about, but that I should be on bedrest for the weekend.

And let me tell you, Jason took this bedrest seriously.

Bedrest is not fun, and I was always worried that I might have to do it at one point or another. It makes me feel lazy, gross, dependent and useless. Jason has been wonderful through it, making all my meals, getting me what I wanted, and getting mad at me when I get up. For Jason to make my meals, that he has no idea how to make and no interest in eating, is big. lol.

So with the pregnancy, the bleeding stopped soon after it started, there were no cramps, no weird pains and at this very moment I can still feel little Henry. In fact I just felt a really strong kick, strongest yet. :) So everything is looking really good, I don't think there is anything to worry about.

Here is my 21 week prego picture for your entertainment.

I love my little bump, even if I am not as big as everyone else is or was, I still feel hugely pregnant.

Prego facts

I can now feel Henry almost all day. a lot in the morning and a lot at night.

I still pee constantly.

no food "Cravings" or weird urges.

I am SUPER excited for my first baby shower, because its one with all my friends and I can't wait to see and talk to them all. I especially can't wait to get a picture with all my friends that are pregnant with me, which I think is like 6 now. I just can't wait to get all their advice and opinions about birth and babylife.

I looove my baths. I always have, but I just love them more now.

I am actually enjoying being patient for him to arrive. I know it sounds weird but I just don't feel ready for him to come yet. I feel like there are still things I need to learn or realize before he gets here, and I am glad I have 3-4 months still to do that.

So yeah. There we go. Theres an update for ya. I am off bedrest tomorrow, but I am sure my husband will require that I still take it easy, but tomorrow I plan on having a meeting with the baseboards in my house.

Cause man are they in trouble.
