Pre-term labor test....again!

So I had another regularly sceduled baby appointment yesterday.  The night before I was having contractions 7 minutes apart, but there wasn't any pain or anything.  He checked me and said my cervix is now softening and the outside of my cervix is opening.  So he wanted to do another test.  They called me back yesterday afternoon and said the test was negative (good), but then she gave me all these restrictions.  She first said, "take it easy" and then went on to tell me that I was on pelvic rest and no bedroom fun (if you know what I mean ;)  Like it was happening anyway with all my problems...poor Spencer :)  Anyways, I also am not supposed to lift over 15 lbs, do anthing that will cause contractons, walk or stand for a long period of time, I can't have any pelvic pressure, and keep my feet up as much as possible.  Sure....I have two kids, I don't see how this is going to work.  But at least it is not complete bed rest.  I already feel lazy and I have only had these restrictions for less than 24 hours...I hope I can make it.

Yeah poor Spencer. Jeff hates it when I am pregnant-he doesn't get to have much "bedroom fun" either.

I hope you make it too. I think you should just enjoy this rest (and don't feel lazy) because I think 3 will keep you very busy! Wish I could help you out with your kids but I'll just give moral support!

If you need me to come over and watch the kiddos I totally can! Just give me a call if it gets too crazy and I can either take the kids somewhere or at least come keep them entertained while you rest or sleep. Please let me know!! Don't be stubborn.. :) Love you!
