Okay, so after the amnio, you have certain precautions you have to follow. For me, it meant complete rest the day of the amnio and next day (since mine was so late in the day), followed by no heavy lifting or working out for 5 days after. This meant I stayed home all day on Thursday. Since I had a bit of cramping on Thursday, I stayed home from my internship that day too (they knew this might happen). Then today, I've started getting out a bit again, but no heavy lifting!!! This means not pushing a heavy grocery cart, not carrying in groceries, not lifting my friend's 3-year old, not doing laundry...the list goes on! I am bored out of my mind! I can't even imagine the ladies who are given the order of strict bed rest. Yes, I would do it in a heartbeat if that's what my little one needs, but wow, I never imagined how tough it would be. I guess I generally like to be pretty active AND I love interpersonal communication with people. With bed rest, you just don't get that! Kudos to those that handle it well.
Here's the latest belly pic...don't know if there is much of a difference between this week and last week, but over all, I definitely look pregnant.
DH and I are going out to dinner tonight followed by a movie - The Dark Knight. I've heard it is really good. I just hope that my expectations aren't too high.
Oh, forgot - I'm definitely feeling more movement now. As I sit here typing, my little fetus is kicking away and it's so cool. I can't wait until DH can feel it outside of my skin. Still waiting for the amnio results...longest 2WW ever! 11 more days....
Sending love to all of you!
xoxo Yo!
