Well, it's official. My patience with this bed rest business is nearly all used up. I want to eat sitting up. If I could eat sitting up, so many of my problems would be solved. And I want to move around enough to tire myself out so I have a reason to sleep at night. That would be awesome. And I want to be off this horrible medication so I can take a warm shower whenever I want without my heart racing and beating out of my chest. Oh yeah, and I want to cook dinner for my husband AND do the dishes so I don't have to listen to him doing all these wonderful things for me when I know he's exhausted.
It's amazing my patience has held out this long. I know it's because of the encouragement and prayers of dear friends and family who have taken time to visit, call, bring over food, and empty the dishwasher. Soon, I will be able to get up and actively wait for this baby boy to come!

Housing crisis affects everyone
Poor Micah got an eviction notice from my uterus last night. Well, we have news for my uterus...you don't hold the lein on that space!
We spent a few hours in the hospital last night because I was having contractions. By the time we got there they were 2 minutes apart. Thank goodness they were painless contractions! Apparently the painless ones can be a sign of preterm labor (just one more to add to the list of preterm labor signs that have had me on bed rest for a month), but much less harmful in terms of progressing to labor than painful contractions. So, a few shots later, an IV of fluids to bring down my temperature, and some tests for infection, we were sent home. The contractions have come back, so we'll have to see what the doc says today. Please pray that Micah would remain healthy and active as he gets squeezed a bit...it looks like we're both going to have to put up with it for several more weeks.
