Bed Rest

Hello everyone,
I am at the end of week 2 of bed rest. I am not restricted in any other way - just not working. I can honestly say it has been a blessing because I have needed the extra time to relax and rest. I am 31 weeks along and yesterday measured 41 weeks. No wonder why I feel huge!
The gestational diabetes diet hasn't been too bad. In fact, when my doctor reviewed my glucose log book she was surprised how well I have been doing. She is thinking the two placentas is what threw my test numbers. She gave me permission to experiment with what I can eat and not to follow the diet as strictly as most women would have to.
I am very slow and deliberate at everything I do and need to rest often. This morning I attacked the nursery room again. I am almost ready for them!
As long as I make it to 34 weeks I can deliver the babies at Mercy Hospital. If I go into labor before, I will be sent downtown Mpls to Abbott/Children's. We pray they will incubate for a little while longer so they are born healthy. I can't believe I only have a max of 7 weeks left...
Thank you to my wonderful co-workers and friends at Target for the shower they put on for us. We can't thank you enough. A big thanks to the scrapbooking girls for the Let's Dish meal shower you surprised me with. I know they will be greatly appreciated when I am dead tired and don't even want to think about meal prep. A third thank you to my lifelong friend Jody for throwing a diaper shower for us in a couple weeks. We can only imagine the landfill our family can fill with diapers alone.
We are very blessed for the outpouring of generousity we have seen already and the many offers to help when the babies arrive. We thank God for you daily!
