Bed Rest Day 2

Well I have to say, I've been so blessed by your thoughts, prayers, and offers to help already.
A big thanks goes to John's parents who came to get Gianna and for John's mom who offered to give up her spring break so John could work "baby free" for one more week.
John stayed home from his office this morning and he basically did everything for Gianna and he said, "I'm tired!" I laughed, because it's what I used to do everyday- even when I was supposed to be "a couch potato!'
We are so blessed so much already. John's parents took Gianna. John is working this weekend to make up for future time off. John is blessed with working for himself - so he has his laptop can work anywhere and he sets his own hours.
Obviously I'll be blogging more during this time. And I might even do facebook- something that I've been putting off for a long time! :) John even prayed that his time might be a time of renewal and spiritual closeness with the Lord.

I went in for the follow up shot today to help the girls' lungs develop. We have another appointment on Monday and one on Thursday for a sonogram. We'll let you know.
What does bed rest mean?
I can't pick up Gianna at all.
I have to be laying down with little to no pressure on the pelvis unless I'm going to the bathroom, eating or performing personal hygiene (taking a shower! :)
After a month the doctor will decide what's next. I think he said a month so that I wouldn't be so daunted by more time if needed.

I have a feeling that day 29 will find me ready to pull out my eyelashes, but for now, I'm rejoicing in the fact that I did NOT have to spend the night in the hospital last night. And that I'm not having any contractions, and that tomorrow is 28 weeks- one more day closer to 36 weeks!
