A week ago I received the good news that the placenta has moved up and that I am off of restricted activity. I haven't spotted in about 6 weeks and I haven't had contractions in two weeks.
I celebrated this week by picking up my beloved children (even though I still have to limit it and I really shouldn't be picking them up), shopping at Costco with the family (Hubby picked up all the heavy stuff, but it's the most walking I've done in over 2 months), going on a date night with Hubby and probably staying out later than I should and walking more once again, celebrating my SILs birthday by going out to dinner and then working together to prep for our other SILs baby shower (we worked for about 3-4 hours and I left at midnight and got home at 1am), cleaning and organizing the house on Saturday (think that the nesting instincts are kicking in?), and finally celebrating our newest niece who is due to be born in the next two weeks by co-hosting and attending a baby shower for my SIL M.
Ummmmmmm, I'm exhausted! I think I was so thrilled to be allowed to do much more than I have that I've overdone it. Ugh! I think I have to realize my limitations and pull back. But I was so excited! Okay, okay, I now know my limitations and I'll still do what I can do, but take a break when it becomes too much. 13 weeks to go!
HEATHER... don't make me come over there!
ReplyDeleteOr make me! : ) But you are not to clean house. You get to walk around and hug your kids and you're still wasting energy on cleaning your house?! Are you crazy??? This restriction was not lifted so you could waste energy on house cleaning!!!!! The goal is to spend your energy WISELY.
Do I need to hatch a plan with Will to stop you? : )
I love you, too Jessica. I just got excited!
