lots of lying around

Its been a long couple of weeks. I ended up having a semi urgent amino 2 weeks ago due to bad test results.I was on bed rest through that weekend. The amino was pain I NEVER  want to feel again! I was in horrible pain the first 2 days and then felt fine after that. I woke up on Tuesday to lots of cramps and other issues. We rushed to the hospital and ended up in our OB office. They did a ultrasound and the baby was safe, did other test and said bed rest for the next 2 days. I was scheduled to go back to work and I was still having issues. I went to work for 1/2 day and ended the day in the OB office again. We found out from the amino that I have alpha feto (sp?) protein, it caused the high numbers for the spinal bifida test and it can cause women in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters to bleed and in the 3rd trimester to have placenta aprupta ( I think that is the right word). It is where the placenta tears away from the wall and you have the baby early. So I went back on bed rest for the weekend. So frustrating and scary... but at least we know what it is. I went to the grocery store with Chris on Sunday and just walked... not fast or slow.. just walked. I didn't pick anything up, just walked. Well Monday morning I woke up to the same ol issues I was having.. So I guess that means no more walking far distances or grocery store. Some may say that is fine by them, but I enjoy going with Chris.. O well I guess I can give it up for a few months.  But through all of this we found out we are having a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!  We are all good, just hanging out. Von is good, a little stinker.. but good. He must be growing up because he is in EVERYTHING! I think he is finding some independence. Chris is good, working and more now with me on and off  bed rest. He is burnt out on school... but he is still plugging along.
