I had an apt with my doctor on Tuesday and she is keeping me on bedrest, but has changed it to "modified" and is basically giving me the freedom to trust my body. "If it makes you have a contraction, you can't do it". She has approved me to work 2 days a week, but I can only do office work. So basically I am training my replacement until the new year, then we'll see where I am at. She is having me get ultrasounds every week for a while so we can see if there are any changes in my cervix (now that I am up and doing more). If there are changes, then its back to strict bedrest. If there aren't any changes, then I have also been cleared to go to Boise for Christmas!! YEAH.. I just can't fly, and we have to stop every hour so I can walk around (we don't want blood clots).. which stopping every hour won't be a problem.... ;-) The only thing she told me was that if I should go into labor and deliver while in Boise, that I would have to stay there with baby until he is out of the hospital.. which, being close to mom and dad wouldn't hurt my feelers! Plus Boise has as good of NICU as Spokane which is where they'd send us if we went into preterm labor in Omak.. I was excited to get this news, it is so much better than being on my back all day, but I am still going to take it really easy, I have a tendency to over do things, and this is one time I really don't want to!
My mom has been here in Omak since Monday and it has been such a HUGE help!! Jeremy and I both have appreciated all of the cleaning, organizing, feeding of the animals, shoveling of snow, cooking etc she has been doing for us!! Takes a huge stress off, and makes our short evenings much more enjoyable!
