I'm convinced that these babies are going to be hanging around a little while longer. I figure if the barometric change of a full moon, AND a rainstorm didn't get them out, then they aren't ready yet.
Of course, for them that's a good thing, but for my back, and my ribs, etc.... Right-click here to download pictures.

Anyway, I think I'll be pregnant for a good 4 weeks more at least. That's my prediction.

So, I am doing good. I am on "modified bedrest" which means I have to be down in bed for 6 hours a day. It pretty much sucks. Lots of people are helping out with my kids, Mom, Sunny, Glenna and the RS. I can't wait to have these babies out of me. My poor body is so overstuffed it's falling apart!
Oh, I am on bedrest because I was having pre-term labor (imagine that... Miss MyKidsAlwaysComeLate having pre-term labor), and because I had protein in my urine, which can indicate toxemia. Now besides the bedrest, I have to go into the doctor once a week and have my cervix checked (it's currently 100& effaced and dilated to 1cm), and twice a week I have to go over to Labor and Delivery and have a Non-Stress Test with blood pressure monitoring done. My life has been completely overtaken by this pregnancy. Good thing I get such a GREAT thing out of it.
However, don't get your hopes up, because I am supposed to keep these babies cooking until AT LEAST May 9, and as long as possible after that, up until June 6.
Brett is trying so hard to be supportive of my bedrest and stuff, but I know it stresses him out a lot. Poor guy... I think he's rooting for an early (albeit safe) delivery.
It's pretty much status quo around here. The kids have been a little stressed due to Mom and Dad's stress, so there has been a lot more crying at night, but I can't say I blame them. I wish we could get our yard in, so I could just send them out to play. I don't know if that will ever happen.
Calypso is doing awesome. She is so cute, and so small. Liberty is doing great too. She is everything in a mother she used to criticize (and I mean that in a good way.. LOL). She still isn't having any success in breastfeeding, and it's hard to know if it because of her surgery, or just genetics. Remember both Sunny and Shauna had trouble too, and Mom did with Harma, Lib and Art. It will be interesting to see how it goes for Holly, since I am such a jersey cow. I wonder if she and I share the same breastfeeding genetics. ;)

 

I have to keep telling myself "it's worth it..."
