Enjoying the holidays

Well I haven't posted in a while so this one will be a little lengthy. It seems like we have spent lots of time in the dr.'s office over the last 2 weeks. I went in a week ago Wednesday to have an NST test done because the baby wasn't moving as much as she usually does. Everything looked fine and of course she started moving as soon as they hooked me up to the monitors ! However, Dr. Wright had me come back in that following Friday (the day we got out for break). It turns out my fluids are low and he was concerned about that and I'm having contractions. He did another NST test that day and a sono and ordered bedrest and lots of fluids. He had me come back in this Wed. (Christmas eve) for another NST test. The baby was all over the place, but I was registering contractions on the monitor so he said to continue the bedrest and fluids. We have to go back on Monday the 29th. I'm still having contractions, but they don't seem to be increasing in quantity or intensity so I guess that is a good thing. We don't know anything about the fluid levels at this point. So we are taking it easy. I have done nothing today but lay on the sofa and watch TV and sleep. It feels good to get some much needed rest. Richard has been absolutely wonderful to do everything and to MAKE me stay in bed. He is amazing and I don't know what I would do without him.

Christmas was wonderful. We had a good time with both families and the boys enjoyed their gifts. I am so very excited about my gift. I GOT TICKETS TO THE BRAD PAISLEY CONCERT!!!!! Exactly what I wanted. The concert is January 25th - 2 days before my birthday. Now we just have to hope the baby doesn't come before the concert so we can actually go. She needs to stay put and grow some more anyway. Our plans for the rest of the break are simple - for me bedrest and fluids - Richard and the boys will be doing alot of nothing which is what we all need right now.

God Bless each of you and I hope you all have a wonderful new year.
