Just checking in...

So everything is about the same, I had a few issues on Wednesday night that concerned us a bit, but Thursday morning everything seemed fine. The doctor advised me to try to limit my activity even more (which is barely possible), but I have to say that on Saturday I started feeling quite a bit better. I'm not having as many contractions and I can tell I overall just feel better. I actually think this baby may stay put a while longer, especially if I continue to feel this good.

I know a number of people who were put on bed rest for a few week early on and then ended up having a full term baby. After being on bed rest for two weeks, I'd love it if she ended up coming a "little" early, but obviously she knows she's the star of the show here.

I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, so we'll see if they say anything new. But otherwise I'm just looking forward to the end of the week when I'll be 36 weeks and off bed rest!

Lucy's doing fairly well with all the change this week. She is definitely a bit wound up from having to pretty much be inside most of the time, but overall she's doing great. Marcus takes her outside or to the park when he gets home, so she obviously looks forward to that every day. She is also starting to really grasp the idea about a new baby coming home. She continues to tell me the baby is in Mommy's belly and today she went and looked in the crib and said "that's my baby sister's bed." I'm so thankful she likes her new big girl bed and gave up the crib to the baby so easily. We were making great strides in potty training last week, but obviously that is now on hold since I can't make a million trips to the potty with her every hour. Oh well, hopefully she'll pick it back up again soon.

And here is a super cute picture that Uncle "Gew" (aka Uncle Drew) took of Lucy this week. There is no doubt she loves her bears...
