BED REST

So, the big news for this week is that I was put on bed rest, not strict bed rest, but low activity. This was NOT my plan. I wanted to teach up until Thursday, spend the weekend with Brian in Houston and Austin, and do all kinds of work on the baby's room. Unfortunately, the doctor said that my overly swollen feet and thinning cervix put me at risk for delivering early.

So.. here I sit in my house on a Wednesday. I never realized how much I dislike sitting. I'm definitely not cut out for low activtity. Nonetheless, I'm forced to relax, which is a good thing.

The even bigger news is that we have scheduled an induction for December 1, 2008. If she decides to wait, Catie will be born in about 12 days! Wow, I can't believe it. I'm getting very excited to meet her, but not so excited about the process I'll have to go through to get her here.

Catie's daddy has been busy studying for his board exams. As of this afternoon, he will be done. We were planning to celebrate by taking a weekend trip, but as I mentioned earlier that was not meant to be. I'll be sitting in San Antonio alone, hoping the baby waits for her dad's return on Saturday. Poor me!!

I'm thrilled that my parents and sister will be coming to visit next week. I don't enjoy being alone and Brian will have more trips then.

The final bit of news is that I have some cyst on my wrist that hurts terribly whenever I move my hand. I have to go see a hand specialist next week. What fun!
