2 weeks and counting...

Well, bedrest is finally upon me. I was just told on Friday that my doctor wanted me to cut back my work schedule from full time to part time. This would have been great, except for the fact that my job does not allow for part time employees... Instead, I get bedrest. Yeah...NOT. Ok, bored does not even begin to cover it. It has only been 2 days, and I am already bored. In many ways I can not wait for the girls to get here just so I will have something to do.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of things that I could be doing, but wanting to do them, or them keeping my mind busy, well, they kind of lack in that area. I have to keep off of my feet as much as possible because they have started to swell if I am on them for too long, and my husband is hovering. Gary is sweet, and I know that he cares, but for my emotional standpoint, I want to be out of bed more, and he pretty much has me strapped down to it. When I am out of the house, which has not been much, he is always watching me. I know that he is just looking out for me, but it is kind of getting on my nerves. Like he is just waiting for the other shoe to drop, or in this case, my water to break.

I talked to him today, and he told me how very excited he is for the babies to get here. He told me that he is not even nervous any more. I am happy to hear that, and want them here as well, I just want to not be under survalence quite so much. He goes to work tomorrow, and in some ways I can not wait. I will miss him and probably be ready for him to come home when he does get here, but I kind of want the peace that will be here as well. I can tell you one thing, it is going to be weird to be at home by myself and not be going to work. I have been working since I was 15, and been in school for what seems like forever. I love multi-tasking and having my plate filled up every day. It keeps me active and happy. To have to completely remove work from that plate leaves too much time in the day to just be wondering what am I going to do.

Well, this week will be filled up with doctors appointments. The non-stress tests have been bumped up to bi-weekly, I have a doctor's appointment, then I still have class on Tuesday nights. Hopefully it will keep me occupied enough that I will not get too bored.

Well, time for bed. Goodnight ya'll.
