Bed rest.... blah

So last week I got orderded to bed rest. They ran a fetal fibronectin test on me at the doctors. To put it simply it tests for a protien that is given off when the baby is preparing for delivery. It is supposed to predict a 2 week delivery period. I had a few with Aaliyah, all were negative, and the last one that was negative was wrong. The doctor said I fell into a .7% for false negatives. With a positive, it can be false easier. My test was positive. Which should mean I have a HIGH risk of having baby Rylan SOON. So I was put on steroids for Rylans lungs which will make my face blow up and me gain more weight, Im not looking forward to the changes but it will help Rylans lungs develop faster. I see the dr again on the 16th and I guess we will take it from there. For now all I am allowed to do is sit, go to the bathroom, take a bath, and sit some more.

Poor Aaliyah is stuck being totally bored with me ALL DAY LONG. I am allowed to prepare small meals for her and I take her up to her nap daily, but thats about it. Other than that we hang out in the living room watching Dora and The Backyardigans.

Im not even allowed to go shopping.... I have to use a wheel chair, which was pretty fun at the outlets, it went alot faster and I didnt wear out. I even got to look at things from a whole new level and found some cute outfits in carters towards the floor! LOL

The 28th is our next big day... our 3D US!!! We cant wait to see who Rylan looks like!
