Bed Rest

Happy Monday morning. Yup, bed rest for me. My body is just too ready (or the babies are thinking--"we don't like it in here, let's break loose!"). As of 5:15 pm last night, I am on strict bed rest with "bathroom privileges only". It's funny, the bathroom wasn't a privilege before, but now I look forward to the occasional trip! I have been laughing a lot--feels a little crazy that this is happening. No tears yet...although I am sure they are inevitable. The nurse said I can do some work from home as long as I don't get stressed. Doug assured her that it would be better for my stress level if I could do some work!

Oh Heather!!! Good luck and take full advantage of lying around not doing too much. I do know first hand the pro's and con's to bed rest. Being on bed rest with four other kids was sometimes quite nice. Ha!!! I am praying for you everyday. Love ya, Michelle
