No Progress Is Progress???

Well, we just got back from the doctor's appointment. I've pretty much stayed the same except for I am now at 80% effaced. My proteins were still 1+ and even my weight stayed the same. The baby has grown, but I will not have another scheduled ultrasound until 2/24. My next dr appointment (if nothing eventful occurs this week) will be next Monday.

I feel very conflicted. I'm glad that Connor is still growing & that his lungs get stronger every day that he can stay in the womb. But, I'm also really weary of my house, my bed, tv, facebook, etc. I can only take so much. I discussed this with my doctor, but he feels strongly that the only way we are managing preterm labor risks & my blood pressure is by keeping me on bed rest. I know this is true, but when my blood pressure is holding steady and I FEEL like being up and around, it is hard to make myself be still.

I am rewarding myself with a chicken sandwich since I haven't gained any weight for a month. What's a few pounds?! I may even splurge for ice cream tonight.

Happy Birthday to Jesse's mom - Kay!! Leah is very excited about singing to her Mimi tonight.

It is a full moon, so you never know what might happen....
