I was wrong ....

I envisioned my Dr. appointment last week to go perfectly. I would go in, get checked out, schedule an ultrasound and find that my previously torn placenta was healed perfectly and life could return to normal (as normal as it can when you're 25 weeks pregnant I guess!) My 'To Do' list has grown and I was ready (really ready) to get started on it. Especially the nursery! Which I'm quite certain was done at this point of my pregnancy with Jackobi. But that wasn't the case.

Things with the baby did check out perfectly, his heartrate is strong, although it was a little challanging to get a good reading because we have a fiesty little boy in there who really likes to kick (and I mean a HARD kick) the heartrate doppler. The nurse even had to laugh because it took us so many tries. He'd kick, roll to the other side and kick again. But it was strong, (his kick's AND the heartbeat.) and he's growing, my giant tummy can attest to that!

However, no ultrasound was scheduled and my "modified" bedrest ... well, it wasn't modified much. I thought that 5 weeks of "taking it easy" would be plenty, but it's not. My Dr. told me that even if my placenta had started to heal, it would still be weak and there's no sense in risking it. (which I totoally agree with) So ... I was told, that I better get used to "not doing much" until this baby is born. NOT, what I expected! But I AM thankful for good Dr's and a very healthy baby. I just have to be really selective on what I spend my energy on & limit what I do. So I guess we'll see how the next 15 weeks of this pregnancy go!

One more week until I hit my 3rd trimester, and I'm happy that my Dr. at least allowed me to travel to see my sister. (I had to promise not to break any of the rules though ...) So it was low key, but much needed weekend away! {More to come later ....}

Making life a little more interesting, last week Nate got his foot smashed by a forklift at work. THANKFULLY it's not broken, but his foot is pretty swollen & he's in a walking boot for a few weeks at least. (Jackobi thinks it's pretty fantastic that her Daddy's foot is purple :) ) So we're two peas in a pod hobbling along and not doing much ... I guess we'll be netflixing a lot in weeks to come!!
