Believe it or not I have surfaced...I am on Bed rest. This is the suckiest thing since, well, who knows but it is not fun.
I think I spent all summer in a daze that I am actually pregnant. And then school began. And the constant rushing has never stopped. I have neglected my knitting something fierce. I did start a blanket, knit a tomato hat, and a Mason Dixon Cardigan for the baby. But then I stopped. Is it that curse of something could happen? Yep. Think so. I have hardly bought anything either. We do have a crib, and as of yesterday a mattress for it! Bright Blue! You have got to love IKEA. But it is still in the box. The husband has been working his tail off trying to get a good start on the addition...since we only have 2 bedrooms that are already occupied. And the 15yo said, "Mom, it is not sleeping with me!"
And now here I am on Bed Rest, probably for at least another 4 weeks. So Christmas is going to be a bit different!
I had an appointment last week and had been feeling sick...caught the cold of the century which of course turned into a sinus infection and then I thought I had a UTI. So after a round of atibiotics we had an appointment where they decided that my cervix is a bit open...not much. And that I was having contractions...Who knew. I must have been having them since at least Saturday. So off to the hospital I go where they gave me this lovely injection of Breathline (Sp?) which is a lovely medicine...like having a panic attack! But it did work and off to home they sent me the next morning. But then the kidney stone pain began in all harshness. After a xray (Safe as possible for the baby) and a prescription for Tylenol 3 off to home I go.
Well, finally Sunday I pass the world's HUGEST (ok, in my world!) stone. Monster size. I never could have passed it if I was not pregnant! Whew! I feel so much better...but had an appointment last night and still bed rest. I guess I will just have to make the best of it! Even though I just burnt up 10 sick days, but it is almost break at school. So maybe I can work in Jan. Who knows. Think junior will hold off for a bit now on his arrival!
No pictures right now, all are on the other computer...off to knit. Maybe I can make a few presents!
