Well... we made it over 5 weeks now on bed rest. Today, I get to move around a bit more and see how things go. I have laid down for my morning rest of 2 hours and was a bit achy but not too bad. I probably had 1-2 contractions while I was up getting breakfast. Mornings tend to be rather quiet anyway.
Baby is probably over three pounds now, which is a big improvement from when we started at 24 weeks 5 days.
November was preemie awareness month. Good timing, eh? There was an article in 'American Baby' magazine that I just read that said, 'Most premature births result from spontaneous preterm labor; in nearly 40 percent of these cases, doctors cannot determine the cause.' So, to answer questions that I have been asked a lot, No, the preterm labor is not from chasing Joshua, flying to Vegas or anything else that I may or may not have done. It just happened.
Hopefully, the day will continue to go well. Mom will be here this afternoon. Amy came with her family to help yesterday as well as Carie. Chris was here on Friday and took Joshua to see Santa.
