It has been a while since I updated this - but needless to say, things have been a little crazy!! We had a great Thanksgiving!! We had Mike's whole family over for dinner - our first Thanksgiving that we hosted! It was a lot of work, but tons more fun! With the bouncy houses outside and such great weather the kids had a blast just running around playing with all the cousins! Thanks everyone for coming and making it such a fun first Thanksgiving.
After that little adventure I had a Dr.'s appointment the next week. When we were there we found out that I am measuring 4 weeks bigger than I should be. This is new for me - I usually measure to small, so it made us a little nervous. After a long stress-filled week and ultrasounds, meeting with specialists, and talk of all these things that could be wrong we found out that everything was ok, considering. I have too much fluid, about 3 times the normal amount, and so they are worried about pre-term labor - which is in my history! So, they have put me down on bedrest. I am almost 32 weeks - Monday can't come soon enough! - and we are trying to make it at least until 34!! That is the Dr.'s goal, my goal is to go at least 36!! However, this bedrest thing is not as glorious as it sounds. At first I thought yeah, no cleaning no laundry....this is going to be great!! But the only way I can put it is that it sucks!! I can't think of a worse time of year to be down!! But hopefully I have to suffer for a lot longer - the longer this baby stays in the better off we will all be!!! So keep us in your prayers and if you have any fun things to pass the time send them my way!! I can use all the distractions I can get!! Merry Christmas!

oh wow! I had no idea you guys were pregnant, congratulations. I could not agree with you more about trying to make it as far as you can. having a small 30 weeker is no fun. She is still in the hospital, ugh!!! I will keep you in my prayers that you make it as long as you can. What are you guys having or is it a surprise?? Good luck and hang in there. Watch lots of Christmas movies and build gingerbread houses with the kids.
Good luck Marci! So sorry to hear you are on bed rest, especially through the holidays, I can't imagine! We'll be waiting to hear of the new arrival! Hope you enjoy your holidays!
