201 Days

I have been pregnant for 201 days. On bedrest for more than 90% of them.

I have been experiencing some pretty special pain between the upped labor pains, and also some muscle atrophy.

I was doing ok, and trying to stretch here and there, and keep my muscles relaxed, but today when I got up to go to the bathroom I about passed out from the burning I felt in my thigh muscles. Guess it gives me more reason to stay down :) Silver lining anyone? :)

I have big plans for my first walk off bedrest. I think it will kill me, and I'll probably die by the time I reach the bottom step outside, but I cannot wait to be able to use my muscles again!

I dream of going for walks, and I have big plans for when that day comes :)

In other news, I have been watching "Army Wives" (kinda cheesy, but I don't have a ton of entertainment options right now, so just go with it!), and one of the women on there was suffering with one of the problems with her placenta that I am. Of course it being tv, she had every possible thing go wrong that possibly could; but lets be honest, it puts a lot of fear in your heart! Watching late night tv, and researching things while your exhausted and emotional are not a good idea! You would think I would learn! :)

In better news: Hubs and I got to watch Little Man swim around for quite awhile tonight. He has a fondness for my left side. He is a tough little guy. Which I curse when he kicks and hurts me, but I am thankful everyday that he is so strong, because that means he will make it through this, even if my body doesn't want to cooperate. That was something I still thank Heaven for everyday with Cricket. Even though I have been cursed with messed up parts, I have been blessed with very strong children. Another silver lining! :)
