Breaking Free of Some Shackles

It sits up and walks! It, of course, refers to me:) Our doctor's appointment on Friday was very positive and I've been told to begin increasing my activity level slowly this week. Yay! I can now sit up for awhile, walk around the house, and shower every day (yeah, everyone reading this should stop a minute and realize what you take for granted).

I celebrated yesterday by spending a few hours outdoors. I set up some blankets and pillows and rested in the glorious sunshine. Spring has finally sprung in Midland and life in our front garden is one of the first signs:

Here are some of the great things we learned this past Friday:
- My internal exam was perfect. No cervical change.
- I'm measuring exactly right for Baby's gestational age.
- I passed my glucose screening test with flying colors - Phew!
- I passed my hemoglobin test for anemia.

And here are some of the things I learned while on strict bedrest:

- There aren't enough comfortable positions on your side to last 3 weeks.

- I should have started watching LOST a long time ago.

- Bibs aren't just handy for babies - they are a necessity when eating on a couch.

- You CAN pull a muscle doing nothing. I have been in agony the past 4 days with a pulled muscle in my back.
