Bedrest Is...Awesome.

Aside from my lower back killing me from starting at the ceiling for five days straight, I would have to say that things are going pretty well. I thought that the bleeding had stopped yesterday, but then noticed some light brown when I went to the bathroom a little bit ago. Still, it's a lot better than it was. No bright red since last Wednesday. I'm going to attempt to go back to work tomorrow (after I call my nurse) and see how things go. If it comes back, I'm headed back to the bed until it resolves again. I will be eternally pissed off if, after all we have been through, lose these babies from placental separation. Damn SCH. Just my luck! Grrrr.

Andy has been home all weekend and has fixed the four of us some delectable treats! I have been having serious hunger pangs about once an hour. My stomach feels like it is eating itself! These babies are bottomless pits! Andy keeps a pretty good check on my diet, but I like to sneak in some junk every once in awhile. Like that entire bag of cool ranch Doritos yesterday. Then the bag of popcorn and popsicles today. He did give in and let me have pancakes last night. One of these days I'll sneak away to the Mexican Restaurant.

Here are some Andy meals from my week in bed:


Yogurt & granola with strawberries/blueberries, english muffins with melted colby jack
 Veggie/Fruit/Cheese Plate...I spit the cauliflower back out

Annnddd....Poor Griswold. On me like white on rice.





Welp, that's about all for now. Gonna eat some dinner and pass back out. Again, thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. This too shall pass!

Jessica!! I am sooo speechless right now...I just got caught up on your posts! Got your FB reply but havent had a chance to reply myself...kinda crazy here ;) I am beyond happy for you and Andy both. I just KNEW it was going to be twins for you two!! My favorite verse, Romans 8:28 was the verse Jason and I chose for our wedding I think it is very appropriate now but starting with verse 26 "Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's spirit is right along side helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows far better that we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be SO SURE that EVERY detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good." Romans 8:26-28 (The Message).
Girl, claim your promise! God HAS worked this out perfectly for the both of you...times TWO!! ((HUGS))
