I have been on bed rest for two weeks now. I have made a real effort to take things easy, but it is just so hard. I am used to being busy and taking care of things myself. I have really struggled with letting others help me. I am fortunate to have family and friends that are more than willing to help in any ways possible.
All in all, I have felt pretty well. When I am up walking for any extended time, I definitely feel lots of pressure and discomfort down low. I guess that is the baby's head pushing downward. Also, for the past two nights, I have not been able to eat dinner. I am starving when I wake up each morning, but by afternoon/evening, I have no appetite. And, sleeping has become sparse. I guess my body is preparing for the night time feedings that will be here soon. This morning, I actually woke up at 3:30 and felt well rested. I never really went back to sleep. I am hoping tonight I sleep a little longer. I want to savor these nights of not getting up because I know they are coming to an end until baby Luther is sleeping through the night.
Tomorrow, I have a doctor's appointment. I am into my 36th week of this pregnancy. I am hoping for no change when I am checked. I really, really want to make it through this upcoming weekend so I can be at Kathryn's birthday party. More info to come...
