When I told Hannah I was going to see my doctor today, she asked what room I would be in. She thought me going to the doctor meant me staying in the hospital. In fact, she just came in my room and asked why I came back home with Daddy. :) The last two times, my appointments both led to two different hospital stays. So, I packed my bag just in case and left the house with my eyes welling up in tears. I was nervous. I felt as if I was going to seal my fate. I know there are many more horrible things that could happen in life, but being pregnant just so happens to magnify the natural worrier in me (Sorry, Sweetheart).
The good news.....they sent me back home on bedrest!! Yay!!!! My doctor would like to see me once a week until sweet Caleb arrives. I can do that (I've paid them enough money!). I'd be willing to see her everyday for a check-up if it meant staying out of the hospital :) Due to my continued contractions, she does want me to start back on the medication that causes dizziness and headaches....not ideal.
After the appointment, Brian and I took a little detour and had a lunch date (shhhh....don't tell my doc). It was nice to be back in civilization and on a date with my amazing husband. But, it didn't take long for my body to remind me exactly why I was on bedrest. That's okay. There is an end in sight.
I'm so thankful Caleb and I are both safe in our little homes. I may just do a gentle little celebration jig while lying in bed. If you're having a good day, feel free to join me. We can all do a little "good day" jig! :)
(30 weeks and counting!)

What wonderful news, hang in there. It will all be worth it when you hold your sweet baby in your arms w/o tubes and wires and bring him home with you. Love and Prayer for all, Laura Disney
Glad it was overall good news today! Praying for as extended a stay inside you as God will allow!! 30 weeks is HUGE milestone - next will be 32!!! Praying! Right there with you - not so strong contractions, but sugar issues and now probably blood pressure ones too - may be joining you on bedrest shortly!!! We'll have to schedule chats!
Love you
Angela
