Today I got the news that I'm 1cm dilated & having irregular contractions, therefore needing to go on bedrest for 2 weeks. At first I was freaked out because I had to wrap things up at work and think about what I can do at home. If I go on Short Term Disability now, it eats into the time I have after the baby is born. He's been moving around a bunch now that I've been still. Also saw John Papelbon & family at the ultrasound technicians! The baby is around 7lbs (hopefully less!), so for 34+ weeks it's pretty impressive. My hospital bag is also packed, just in case.
I had both a doctor and an ultrasound appointment, and I spent more on cabs today than I have since my friend's bachelorette party. Since I'm sad to be housebound, it was comforting to take the scenic route home down the Jway & through Franklin Park with the window down.
Having pregnancy-related carpal hasn't helped either! But it's fun watching the pregnancy challenge on Project Runway.
