Update on Lindsi...

Let me start by saying, I am fine...however, I have been made to rest by my doctors :-)...

I had some pretty bad contractions Tuesday night which got me in the doctors office yesterday. The contractions were definitely still coming though not as painful as they were the night before. I'm 50% effaced and the baby is head down and ready to go in 0 position...however, I am NOT dialated (a very good thing). She ordered me to go home and rest and put my feet up. No work for the next week, and she felt like it was NOT a good idea for me to head to Greenville for my showers. She said I could go another three weeks like this or I could go into labor any day. The idea is to make him comfortable enough to stay put for the next two - three weeks :-).

I was pretty upset yesterday...mostly because I wasn't going to get to see my friends, and I should mention my hormones are in rare form! I've definitely bit my husband's head off more times than I should :-). Today, I am trying to calm down and remain peaceful. I know God is in control and baby Ty will come when he is ready. All I can do is try to rest and pray until then.

It has been a little stressful, mostly because I have had to spend the last day trying to calm my family down. I've had two hysterical grandmothers to deal with, and Tyler has now said he's just going to start answering my phone if they call :-). I trust my doctors to take care of me, and they seem to be keeping an eye on all of this and keeping me under control.

I asked for some clarification on what exactly she meant by rest (my exact words were..."Yeah, I don't do rest well so I'm going to need you to be specific..."). She said I could go get a pedicure or go out to eat...I just need to come back home afterwards and put my feet up. No more work until she checks me out next Weds. SO... I am around, working from home and trying to take it easy. If you try calling and I don't answer, I WILL call you back. It has just been a little crazy with all the family calls I have been on. Please say some prayers that I am able to stay peaceful about all this, that God keeps Ty patient in there, and that I don't go stir crazy over the next week :-).

I'll be in touch again soon!
