Yes I am sure you are bored but you know that it's worth it so hang in there...I hope and pray that this will work for you...we all need another babieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Fascinating Steph. I remember all you went thru and shared with us until we finally got that little angel Grant! Stay in bed and think pink! We're all here for you but I'm sure I don't have to tell you that.

Sending prayers your way!

I had Grant all day, bed rest sounds pretty good to me.
My goodness that boy is BUSY!!!!! LOL
He is so fun tho!
Just rest Steph and let Brent wait on you!

Great news, Steph!

How is it being on bedrest with Grant running around? Do you have any help? Sending you lots of PINK baby thoughts!

Blessings,
Haley

I'm glad it went well Steph. Hang in there, the bed rest time will pass and you'll be up and at 'em again real soon.

Jenni - I can relate, little boys are so busy, it does tend to tire one out. Bed rest sounds good to me too! LOL

LOL at Grandma!!

I have gotten such a good education thru your posts, Steph. It's all fascinating to me. (And just to be on the safe side, I'm praying for both a pink AND a blue bundle.)

Maybe you need to watch another tv show?
LOL

I can imagine how difficult it is to stay down even though you know you have to.

Hang in there kiddo and it'll be fine.

Your Mom told me Grant was tending her today.
When you can get up and about you might want to check out the daycare situation ifyouknowhatImean...LOL

So glad everything went well Steph. I bet it is boring for a young lady like you to be stuck in the sack, but hopefully that laptop will fill in nicely. Oh and the TV and books of course. Bet Grant can find toys he just knows you'd like you and him to play with in that bed. :)

Thanks for explaining the process Steph. Very interesting indeed.

Jenni, if Grant is as 'busy' as Dustin, I can sure understand you needing a little bed rest too. LOL

Awwww man total bedrest?! I would hate it! I don't envy you Stephanie.
Do you have books to read?
Music to listen to?
A deck of cards for you and Brent to play?
Did Brent get you a little bell to ring when you want something? LOL I am thinking of the Lucy episode here but you might be too young to know that one!
Sure glad you have a laptop!

:) those percentages tho sound great to me!! I have been thinking of you all day!

Mimi gets bed rest after Mom! LOL
Make sure you get lots of sweet kissies from Grant Jenni!

Glad to hear everything went well! Maybe you could get Dakota a backpack to carry your stuff, like notes to Brent of what you want/need! :)

How long are you on bedrest for??

I'd love a little bedrest these days! But my friend was just on it (absolute) for 10 WEEKS before giving birth to her twins!

I am sure it can be boring....but just thinking what could come of this down time!! =) Enjoy it while you can! I bet your mom will be sleeping good tonight! LOL

i could never do bed rest like that! my sis had twins in 05 was on very strict bed rest for 6 months and they were still a month early. she spent alot of time online, on cell calls, having people visit and had several support groups, did ALOT of crafts lol etc... it was really horrible for her because her DH works and travels all over the world all the time. they had to get a housekeeper/chef and her MIL/FIL had to be there everyday. but those babies have turned into the most perfect almost 3 yr olds! hope your time goes fast!~ liz

I think Steph is on bed rest for two days, is that correct? Of course it will probably feel like a lot longer.
Donna

bed....baby...no contest, lol...i sure know how hard it is to have a toddler, and told sorry, don't move...(i'm pulling for those 2 viable embryo...)

I'm on bed rest for 2 days. She'd originally said through Saturday but told me today through Friday and then to just take it easy this weekend.

I have gotten up a bit but not done anything except take a nice hot shower and I layed on the floor and played legos with Grant while Brent ate dinner. Grant was cute, he's not a cuddler at all. He kept wanting to lay on me and put his head on my shoulder. It's hard because they dont want him climbing on me and putting pressure on my lower abdominal area or pick him up.

I have a ton of photos to upload to Shutterfly and have printed, as well as designing a photo book for Grants 1 year birthday so that should keep me busy for awhile tomorrow.

As soon as they say "do this or don't do that", then that's all you want to do, right Steph? Bed rest on any normal day would be like a vacation. I bet you're all jazzed about this and have energy to burn.

I'm glad today went well! I will be anxiously waiting your test in a couple of weeks!

Such a good Mom....You deserve the Best!
Gayle

Best wishes for you. Hope everything is perfect.

Hang in there Steph! :o)

Hi Steph,

No one mentioned radio - you draw your own pictures in the mind.

Or audio books.

When you spend the time sleeping ... you don't notice the hours flying by (instaead of dragging, as they sometimes do while awake).

Good wishes for things to go well.

ole joyful

Enjoy the rest while you can. Hope all goes well and that Grant will have a playmate soon.

do what the doc says and I hope the two days fly by for ya!!

keeping fingers and toes crossed it all go's well for you!

It is boring.....I had a long day yesterday myself....but had a great night (meaning I slept and didn't hurt) and feel super this morning...here's hoping all goes great...Stacy

Thinking of you this morning.

Thanks for the update,Steph. I was thinking about you a lot. When I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter,I was ordered to bed for the last 3 months. I enjoyed relaxing and being waited on. I embroidered a tablecloth while I was in bed. By the way, my daughter is now 18. Good luck to you!

Steph thank you for the update and information. It's amazing how some medical procedures are so exacting. I'm keeping you in my thoughts that you will have real good news soon. Try and enjoy the rest, at least you are at home, where you can enjoy your family..

So glad to hear it's going well. Please keep us posted!

Hope your boredom subsides soon!! I don't know how you do it with a toddler...you're a strong woman! Best of luck...I'll be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

I take no credit for "doing it with a toddler". It would be impossible especially with my busy boy! Brent took some time off work and my mom has been a huge help!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt do it without her!
