This morning, Melinda met with the prenatal specialists at Inova Hospital. After a few tests and some more time spent reviewing past test results, Melinda was taken off bed rest. Wahoo!
Adelaide is slightly disappointed that Mommy is back on the ground playing with toys and asking her to do shape puzzles - instead of letting her continue the Elmo-athon that made up most of their weekend. But, Melinda is thrilled to no longer be making a dent in the couch while bumming off of friends and neighbors.
We're not totally in the clear. Melinda will probably have to check in weekly for tests through the rest of this pregnancy and is still on reduced-activity orders. There is a whole list of things that she is no longer allowed to do. But, that's okay. Who really wants to play basketball in their ninth month of pregnancy?
Here's a picture of our little trouble maker in the the making. This was taken last Thursday - she wouldn't cooperate for a head shot this morning.
She cuts a very distinguished profile.
so glad!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself, Melinda! And don't worry about Elmo-athons. Even if Adelaide watches a lot of Elmo for several months, in the end she'll be alright--and extra giggly and ticklish, not to mention very enthusiastic! (all of Elmo's finer qualities.)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the bed rest. That's can be scary. I'm glad it's getting better! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Emily. Those are wise words of wisdom. Meanwhile, we're thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteMelinda! I don't check your blog for 2 weeks and what happens?!! Glad you are not on bed rest anymore! Take care, and remember the results of your hard work! That little one will soon be in your arms.
ReplyDeletelove ya!
I was thinking about you this weekend! I am so glad that everything is looking better. Take care of yourself. Her ultrasound picture is SO cute!
