How did I get so lucky?
Really?
Since being put on bedrest, Jared has gotten Wyatt up and dressed in the morning, and takes over everything as soon as he gets home. Won't let me vacuum, clean, do dishes, pick up, do laundry, go grocery shopping. When Jared's out working, I literally do the minimum with Wyatt while laying down as much as possible. And with ALL of that going on, the house is completely picked up and clean every night before we go to bed. He lectures me if he sees me up doing anything, even just bringing a plate back to the kitchen. He brings me water whenever he sees that my Nalgene is empty. And you know what?
He hasn't complained ONCE.
The other night I was even a big whiny pants and wanted chili fries from Tommy's. Mr. awesome pants went and got them for me. Stopped working on his RC Truck and picked them up for me, didn't get anything for himself because he wasn't hungry. 100% did it for me. The man has picked up some tricks since our last Merry Go Round. I remember begging for Chipotle for weeks and he refused to appease me because it would take 15 minutes to get there. Luckily Chipotle has expanded in our area and we have not 1, but 2 close by :) AND a Panera Bread. I LOVE PANERA!!! Ok, can you tell I'm pregnany? I just spent an entire paragraph talking about food haha.
So other than my awesome amazing hunk of a husband being everything a woman can dream of, I have even more great news. I got the OBGYN that I've always wanted!!! Dr. Morrison retired just before my last pregnancy, and then came out of retirement shortly before we lost Michael. Since my current dr. was out of town, Dr. Morrison performed the cerclage. {One of the many miracles that we were shown during that time in our lives.} I was nervous that he might decide to retire again before I became pregnant again, but he hasn't! I called today and have an appointment to see him on the 27th. Eeeee!!!! I'm so excited! To add to the awesomeness of everything, I went in to fill out all the paperwork AND HE REMEMBERED ME. Even asked me how everything turned out from my last pregnancy. So I filled him in really quick on my awesome little guy :)
Do you know what else makes me feel awesome? My friends. They have been beyond caring towards me about this whole bedrest situation. Sending text messages to check in on me, arranging plans so that I can hang out with them on ladies night {I mean, who wouldn't want to bask in my glory though right? ;)} Offering to bring dinners over if we need it. A couple of years ago I honestly felt like I didn't have any real friends that lived around me, and now I have not one, not two, but a group of ladies that I get to call my friends. I'm truly a lucky girl.
So here's the pregnancy update.
I've been on bedrest for a week now. I'm being really strict with myself and only getting up when absolutely necessary {which is more than I'd like when there's a needy 2 year old running around}. Wyatt has been a relatively good boy but might be going slightly crazy from lack of outside time. I actually feel really bad about the outside time part because the last few days have been amazing Wyatt weather :/ I wish he felt comfortable running around out there by himself. The backyard is fenced in so I know he'll be safe, but he refuses to go out there unless someone is with him. Anyway, I'm being really strict with myself on staying laying down and drinking lots of water. I've gotten to where I'm spotting only a couple of times throughout the day. I'm cramping a lot less too which is awesome. I'm really hopeful that things will start looking up. I feel really guilty about not being able to pull my weight around the house and I want to be able to get back in the game. But baby first. This girl will be following all the dr.'s orders to a 'T'!
Oh, and I think my due date was actually calculated wrong. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the 18th, which would put me at 7 wks 5 days. :)
Here's my baby bloat! {aka ice cream from the last 2 months and gas haha}
I'm so stoked to bask in your glory tomorrow!
