Do you ever have those moments where you feel like you were headed in one direction, then life throws you a curve ball and you are forced to do a 180 and life takes you else where - regardless of what YOU wanted in life?
Well - I guess the concern caught up. I had my 32 week Dr appointment today. After discussing more of what has been going on over the last week and half she decided to check me. Somehow I knew this was coming. I am already dilated just past 1cm so I was told it would be bed rest from here until the end of this pregnancy. And who knows when that will be. I certainly don't. I feel like I am in a holding pattern right now and it is just NOT FUN!!!!
She was so concerned she sent me straight to the hospital to see how thick my cervix is. That one number would be the deciding factor as to whether my bed rest sentence could be carried out at home or stuck in the hospital.
The number was high enough that I am HOME. At least I have that in my favor. The few people who already know are asking, what are you going to do about this, or that, or this, or that. At this point I have no idea. I am still in shock!!!!
Even though I felt it was coming I still wasn't at all prepared to hear those words, "My dear, you are now on bed rest." Honestly I haven't been able to stop crying since this morning. I don't know why it is so emotional for me, but it is. I just wanted a close to normal pregnancy. My blood pressure has been doing so well I thought I was in the clear. I guess I got excited a little too early!
In the mean time - we only have three more days of school. Preschool is already out so that is a positive. Over the next few weeks my kids and I will be watching a few more movies than usual and spending a lot of time reading together. I have been wanting more time with them and now I have it. At least I can find that positive in all of this.
So, for today I say good bye for a little bit. I don't know how often I will get to come to my computer or say hello. That also means that I won't get to check in on all of my blogging friends for a little while and that makes me sad. Nevertheless, in the end we will have a sweet baby girl to add to our family and I will just look forward to that day knowing I did everything I could to make sure she is healthy!!
Talk to you all later!!!!

you and my sister should talk, she is 26 weeks, at 2cm and bed rest in the hospital.... they think she will deliver before 28 weeks. I feel for you, I see how hard it is by watching and talking to her. PLEASE let me know if I can help. We could have a playdate over there, you can lay and I can watch over the kiddos and make them lunch! Please let me know!
good luck trisha! jut know that it makes for a healthy baby in the end. and like you said- more time with your precious little ones! that is a blessing. everything will be fine!
love you!!!
Good news, bad news. You know there are more people who want to help than you have time for. Good thing the spellathon and all the other craziness you were in charge of are through, eh? You'll pull through... you're a tough cheetah.
I'm sorry. In the end it will be o.k. ;) Wish I was in a position to help you out.....but we just got our own really bad news today .. hopefully your hubby can help with meals and stuff :) mine is always really good about stuff like that-even when I'm feeling normal. Take it easy- it will work out ;)
I have been there with my first 2 and i can only imagine it gets tougher with the more munchkins you have.....but it sounds like you have an awesome support team to help you through these last few weeks. it will fly by! good luck!
Hang in there your almost done. :)
Love you
I had almost 8 weeks of bed rest with Parker, so I can completely related to how you are feeling. It is so hard when things get taken out of your hands and you have to just stay off your feet. I am sorry. Things will get better, the time will pass, and once your new little one is here, it will all be worth it. Hang in there, a little longer :)
You'll make it Trish, and way to find the positive. I hate bed rest!!!! We'll pray that all goes well.
