One week down, 11+ weeks to go!

Today is bedrest day 7. One week down. I am thinking of it as a milestone and not thinking about the many weeks/hurdles still to come. It hasn't been so bad so far. Breakfast in bed every day is definitely pretty cool. In normal times, I always get out of bed before my husband does so I've never had breakfast in bed prepared by him before. Not because he wouldn't have done it, just that I am WAY too impatient to wait for him to wake up and get out of bed first - I usually want that cup of coffee way too much.

Coffee, who drinks that now? On bed rest, my special drinks are just any thing other than water. Something on ice is a big deal as most of the day I am refilling my water bottle with the room temperature brita pitcher at my bedside. At least no one can accuse me of being a bear before that first cup of caffeinated coffee anymore. (Though I make no promises that once pregnancy and breast feeding are in my past that I will not be immediately returning to my old favorite friend!)

Yesterday was my first rough day. My internet got messed up and thus was unable to go on line for a good part of the day. All that needed to be done was resetting the modem downstairs, but since I am stuck upstairs, I had to wait for someone to come do it for me which ended up being dinner time when my husband made it home. I guess I am not as able to roll with punches right now as I normally am and am pretty dependent on my lap top for my outside communications and entertainment. Luckily I had my book, was able to find an entertaining movie on HBO, and the opportunity to take multiple naps. But overall it was a rough day for more reasons than just the lack of internet, but I think I am entitled to a bad day once in awhile - who isn't, right?

So sorry for no blog update yesterday - no one would have enjoyed negative depressed me. Today is a much better day and my room is full of sunshine. Both cats were on my bed at the same time which does not happen often. It only lasted a few minutes and now I've been abandoned by both -- likely for an even sunnier spot in what will be our babies' room which gets the most am sun. I am looking forward to my Potbellies lunch and a visit from a friend. I hope she does not mind my rumpled hair and PJ bottom attire.

Do me a favor and someone try to leave a comment. I have heard that my settings weren't allowing it, but I think I have rectified the problem. I don't expect daily comments on my witty prose, but am just curious if it is even an option.

Also, attached are a couple 3D face shots of the babies from our ultrasound last week. The resolution does not scan well, but I think you can still see both of their faces pretty clear. Baby A has one of his/her arms in front of his/her mouth. YAY!
