For a mama on bedrest, it's been a very hectic 30 days since my last post. With the help of wonderful friends and family, we got through a fabulous birthday bash for Miss Olivia as well as the Hanukkah/Christmas holiday. It was interesting being slowed down by the situation. In the end I think it was really helpful because, out of necessity, I wasn't able to engage in the crazy hustle and bustle of it. Next year, I hope to be on my feet, but retaining some of the calm that this season brought for me.
Everything is looking great with the baby and me! Last week, I did have one monitoring session where it appeared that my uterus seemed "irritated" although they never said "contractions" and just advised that I slow down a bit. That was two days before Christmas Eve and was just the reminder I needed.
I'm happy to report that as of Tuesday, my uterus seems very quiet and the baby seems healthy and very active! It's weird to look at my belly now when he is moving inside me. He's so big, it looks like there's an alien in there! LOL!
We are having fun setting up the baby's things and I'm giving more thought to the delivery day (although purposely trying not to give it too much thought, lest I get my nerves rattled).
As the New Year is upon us, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all the blessings this year has brought to our family, one of the biggest being our baby boy still cookin'! xoxoxooxxoxoxooxox
