And....It's Time for Superwoman to Have a Seat.

...Because she was put on bedrest this morning.

The fluid around baby was a little on the low end today so my doctor thought it would be best for me to take it easy and drink lots and lots of water until delivery. Everything ended up being fine, but I'll go back Monday to recheck. This baby might be making an earlier debut than anticipated...

My OB reassured me that this is a pretty common occurrence with the residents that are have babies - being on your feet all the time and the stress is sometimes blamed for low fluid. It helps that I am somewhat familiar with all this now too so it's less distressing. I'm not worried. God is in control and Baby J will be fine :-)

Naters gets back from my mom's house this weekend, and then he will be home with me until it's time for him to go back to school in August. Kind of bummed because I had all these big plans for our last hoorah as just Mommy and Natey (zoo and museum trips, long walks, hanging out at the park), but now I'm going to have to chill on that a bit :-/

And don't get me started on how NOT ready I am for a baby to get here soon. I need to run walk slowly out to Target and get some crib sheets, and onesies, bottles, and Dreft. And now would probably be a good time to pack my hospital bag... The blessing in all this is that I was only two days away from the end of my rotation and the start of my official vacation from school, so this doesn't set me back at all or leave me with a bunch of time I'll have to make up when I go back.

Any good books or movies you recommend? Who am I kidding... I need to get working on my personal statement again. So much to do, so little time...

I've only been on bedrest for 6 hours now and I am already bored. Oh boy...
