False Alarm


Well we have been busy since the New Year. When we returned from Utah and I went into labor. With several shots later they were able to stop the labor. At that point I was sent home on strict bed rest which means only getting up to go from the bed to the couch. Which for me is almost impossible. Also I had to take medication to make sure I did not go back into labor. For the last two weeks it has been really hard for me to stay down. During that time we were lucky enough to have our great friends from VA the Candlands come and visit us. It was so fun to see them and spend time with them. Just like old times. As of yesterday I am officially off bed rest and can have the baby anytime. I think with all the meds that I was taking I will not have the baby until my due date! In spite of all this we are doing well, Ben and the kids have been great and very helpful. I have had to go to the doctors quite a bit and Mason has been really upset by my leaving he said to me,"mom do not bring that baby home!" We will see how he does when I actually bring him home. I am sure he will love him!

Hope everyone is having a great new year!

That's scary. I'm glad that things are okay now. How exciting to be able to have another boy any time. (I'm being induced on Tuesday.)

I can't wait to see who the little guy looks like. Take it easy because before you know it you'll have a newborn in the house. :)

I'm so glad you are okay!! I say milk the bed rest and make Ben wait on you as long as possible!!! We got DDR for Christmas too...I need to figure out how to turn it on so I can practice while the kids are at school. Someday I'll challenge Ben to a dance off!! Can't wait to hear about the baby!!
