Bedrest it is.

Pre-Birth
Posted by: jzelazny | 3 Comments

We went tonight to the doctor and the verdict is in….bedrest it is.  I am dilated 1 cm and that was enough for the doctor to make the decision.  She is pretty confident that I will make it pretty far as long as I rest and not work and stress myself out.  No matter how much I say that I sit down at work…the kids and environment can still be stressful and I do still need to stand and control them once in a while.  So I am going in on Thursday to say goodbye and tie-up loose ends and then I am home.  I am sure I will get over not going to work – but it is the transition that I think is causing me anxiety.

On the home front, I feel bad that I will not be able to help out.  But I know Jen and Evan can handle it and someone said to me that two months of not doing anything is short compared  to the healthy lives for our two little babies. 🙂

I go back next week on Thursday for another check and ultrasound…more to come.

    I think Colby can be trained to fetch you nonalcohlic beverages with umbrellas 🙂

    And you’re right; I’m sure the bedrest will be uncomfortable for you, but you’re going to be rewarded with two healthy babies!

    I can’t wait to meet Will and Cora and see how insanely active they are outside your womb since they’re practically marathoning inside of it!

    Continued best of luck to you, Jen and Evan.

    Amy,
    Know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers. You will have to do lots of reading. Read out loud to Evan or have him tell you stories and Will and Cora will benefit from it too. Be creative while you rest. Maybe keep a journal if you don’t already (you know the old fashioned kind with paper and pen. When these beautiful babies are born you may not rest for a while! It will be an adventure like no other. Love to all 5 of you…oops 6 of you, must include Colby.

    I know I will be very busy soon….We will get through it. One week at a time, or I guess one day or hour at a time.
