A taste of freedom.

I got some wonderful news during my last OB visit. I AM OFF BEDREST!! My last set of lab values were back in the normal range. My baby is growing beautifully. My blood pressure is perfect. So I am partially set free. I had a follow up ultrasound and the baby is now 4 pounds. Everything is looking up. Now the next question is whether or not I will be able to go back to work. Part of me wants to get out the house but the other half of me wants to use all this free time and freedom to run around and do stuff before the new baby arrives. We shall see what happens.

Finding a way.

So far the news has been good from the OB. Everything is going well, the baby is growing, and so on and so forth. I am starting to find a rhythm to my days at home alone. I started a to-do list and I am slowly working my way thru it. A couple of wonderful birthday gifts are fueling my reading addiction. All in all its becoming bearable. What sucks is that I can feel myself getting more and more out of shape with each passing day. A trip upstairs from the basement now leaves me hopelessly winded. I feel like I need a nap everyday. One silver lining is that the scale didn't explode from my inactivity. Granted I am also not as hungry since I am not really doing anything. I count the days until number 2 gets here. I anxiously await rejoining my BGR sisters and going to my crossfit cube. But in the mean time I am finding a way to not implode.
