I've been on bed rest for 4 weeks now! In some ways it seems to have gone so fast, but then the days can drag on and it sometimes feels like it will never end! I calculated the other day that if I go as long with this pregnancy as I did with Jess (38 weeks), I'll have been on bedrest for 34 weeks over the last two pregnancies!
I'm very thankful atm to be on holidays. It's nice to have a change of scenery, and especially good for Dave to only have the kids and me to look out for, without trying to juggle work too!
I'm 28weeks now! Thank you God! All is still stable and our little girl seems to be hanging in and doing well. I had my fortnightly outing to the clinic on Thursday. It's weird to be excited at the prospect of going to Nepean hospital, but when it's your only outing evey fortnight - it's quite nice to be anywhere but a sofa! It was just a quick checkup. In 2 weeks I'll have another ultrasound to check that all is still stable. I'll be so excited if I can make it to 30 wks or beyond!
Despite my situation and my whingyness at it all, I am so thankful to God for so many things. We have two beautiful children and another one growing well. I have an amazing husband who is so patient with me and the kids and never complains (unlike me)! I'm thankful for the chance to have holidays and time wth my family. I'm well and have great friends and family that help out. I don't have to do any housework for a while!And I have an amzing Saviour in Jesus that sustains me and cares for me. I find it helpful to focus on these things when I'm tempted to feel down and sad at my situation.
