Taking it easy....

So last week I had a really busy day, going to my doctors appointment, help make curtains and a whole bunch of stuff. That night I started to get some Braxton hicks ( fake contractions for those who don't know) and low and behold I had 9 Braxton hicks in 30 min. That is not good, so I called my doctor just like I was suppose to and basically they told me I have to take it easy from now on. Is that even possible with a 2 year old? So I have limited myself to do 1 busy task a day. This may sound easy for some, however, I am having the hardest time with it. It seems like as soon as I sit down to rest my mind comes up with more things for me to do. So frustrating. I feel the worst for Sydney, I am trying to give her as much of my attention and love as possible before Baby Bella comes but a 2 year old does not understand "taking it easy" to well. I have come up with a couple of games that I can do sitting down and we read lots of stories. Anyways, I am getting better and besides that everything is going great with the pregnancy.

 At my last ultrasound ( yes, I still get them weekly from now on) they told me that Bella's weight was 4 lbs 8 oz. I about had a heart attack. She is going to be huge is what I told the lady and she predicted that if Bella continues to grow at the pace she is, she will be about 7- 7 1/2 lbs. I know that is average for babies but when your last child was 5 lbs 11 oz, 7 lbs seems huge. But I guess only time will tell. We are just glad that she is a growing healthy baby girl.

Holy cow, Stephanie! I'm so sorry to hear that. Listen to the doctors- rest rest rest!!!!! Let me know if I can do anything. I know I'm 400 miles away, but I might be able to still do some things.... :) You can send Sydney to live with us for a week...:)
