Am I the only pregnant woman who...

...begged the Dr. not to put me on bed rest. Not that I am a work-a-holic but I just can't see myself sitting at home for the next 2-3 weeks either. I would rather save my sick days to share with Jackson, But here I am...Day 1 of at least 2 weeks of bed rest...he says he won't let me go past 39 weeks which would be Feb 21st...but we will see, I don't really trust Dr.'s they seem to change their minds a lot. I go back to the Dr. on Monday for a Non-Stress Test (monitoring Jackson's heartbeat and for contractions) and an Amniotic Fluid Index Screening (not sure what all it will tell the Dr. other than how much fluid is around Jackson and his weight/development).

Needless to say, Dakota is loving it already, we napped this afternoon while watching a movie from DVR. I have little things that I can do around the house, from the recliner, on the computer...but I may need a good book to read or lots of company over the next couple of days.

Hey Ros -
We are praying for you and baby Jackson. Try to take it easy! If you are looking for things to do while you are resting - I strongly recommend Netflix. Even if you don't already have it, you can get a free 2-week trial and watch all the movies you want! Love you girl!!
