So to the right here we have an old snow pic, from the last snow, hence the failed attempt at Christmas lights on the tree behind Sophie. I just had to include a pic of some kind...
So, I am still on modified bed rest/ house arrest, which means I am not returning to work anytime soon. The bedrest was brought on by a tear in my placenta and contractions. I am so glad I do not have to be confined to my bed, and even have permission to go out for a short period, as long as I am sitting most of that time. It's still very difficult at home to make myself not do laundry, clean, etc... especially since the nesting syndrome has set in .... and I really don't remember it with the last two??? Anywhoo, my mom has ben a tremendous help cooking and keeping up w/ our laundry.
Last Friday we had our 20 week ultrasound with the high risk Dr. That was an event in of itself. It took about 2 1/2 hours, most of that being wait time. During this wait time my body decided to have stomach issues. I guess I was in the right place, a Dr. office... Miraculously I was better by the time we actually went in to the room for the US. Oh, did I mention we took Sophie and Davis, boy they sure had fun waiting over an hour and being quiet... So upon entering the exam room I got upon the bed, that actually had stir-ups, and waited while nurse Sophie took over. She insisted I put my feet in the stir-ups, which actually wasn't necessary, then she proceeded to ask "there... you comfy now?" I refrained from telling her I didn't know any woman who was actually "comfy" when she had her feet in stir-ups, but I just followed her orders. Her father was very amused. Then she wanted to check out/look at all the gadgets of the machines etc... not too harmful I guess. All the while Davis was just sitting apprehensively in the corner of the room. So, eventually we were able to see the little baby on the big screen. Everything looked great (except for tear) and we all ooohed and aaahed.... It was confirmed 99.7% to be a baby girl. We finally got out of there are headed home...
I think I will attempt to go back to bed. Goodnight.

oh yay!!!!! Another girl!!
If you go to Mercy... to the high risk office there get used to the 2+ hour wait. I went there and it always took that long. I'm told it's better if you schedule first thing in the morning or right after lunch.. seems like they would do a better job booking appointments so you wouldn't have to wait so long. Oh well.
