I'm off bedrest!!! For the moment anyways. It's been a blissful almost two weeks of being allowed up.
We still don't know what the growth is, but we will be consulting with a specialist hopefully in the next couple of weeks about that.
Until then, I'm allowed to up and doing my job. I just have to be super watchful and not overdo it. I've had days where I felt I needed to be sitting more, so I did. Most of the time though I've just worked to be careful not to be on my feet for too long at a time and so far so good!
A few things have changed, but not too much. We're using grocery pickup and Instacart instead of my going shopping. I'm not allowed to drive the van as it's just too much for me right now, which means I have to work around my husbands schedule so I can use his car. This also means the kids are I aren't going to Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting for the time being. There are times I put a chair in the kitchen and I sit while giving directions to 2-3 kids to make dinner. We're making it work! 😊
Once we see the specialist we will know better if I can continue home care and continue our plan of a homebirth, or if I can have Linda, my midwife, do my prenatal visits and then need to use the hospital for birth, or if it's going to be safest to use the hospital for it all.
Our prayer is the growth just decides to up and disappear on me. And if that, that I will have grace and courage to face whatever is in GOD's perfect plan for us. 💕
