I spoke too soon

Not that my body still isn't amazing me but it's just not kicking ass like I had hoped! As of Friday, I am no longer a working fatty. I'm now sitting on my butt at home, per doctor's orders. My blood pressure is still a bit higher than my average, my swelling is lovely (the doctor called my puffy!), and I had some traces of protein in my urine. I really need to read more about pre-eclampsia so I know what it is. She doesn't think I have it at this point but that I might be in the early stages of developing it.

And, my made of steel cervix went down drastically this week. From 4.8cm to 3.2 (or 3.0). Entirely too much of a jump in one week.

So now I'm going to see the doctor twice a week. Next Thursday I have another growth scan to look at the babies sizes. But at this point, if the babies decide they are ready to come out, my doctor will not stop them! That's a crazy thought. I guess this means they really are coming out soon! I still hope to hold off until my scheduled c-section on April 30th. But my main goal is making it to 36 weeks, April 24th! I can do it!

So what did I do on my first day at home? Nothing. Not a damn thing. I watched TV, grabbed lunch with Aaron, napped a bit, then watched more TV. I got nothing accomplished that I wanted to do (pack a hospital bag and scrapbook). Maybe this coming week?

Then for the highlight of the day....I went grocery shopping in a SCOOTER! It was so much fun! I decided that I couldn't just give mom a list of what I needed so I scooted along and pointed at things. People stared and I really wanted to race some old people, but it was fun! I plan on doing it again next week. I highly suggest that everyone tries it!

And, here's the gut. 34 weeks 1 day. Still no stretch marks :)
