I am being sent home on modified bed rest this afternoon. This essentially means that for the next week I will be doing pretty much the same thing at home as I am doing in the hospital. The doctor said I can walk around a bit more than I do here because I am at 34 weeks and they also understand that I have to fend for myself at home much more than I do here. In 1 week I can add a little bit more activity (I will still be on bed rest, but if I have to get up to do things I am allowed slightly more time out of bed). At 36 weeks he said I can start doing cartwheels as far as he is concerned, which is fine by me. I am tired of being in bed. I am sad that I lost 4 pounds of muscle over the past two weeks. I have never wanted to work out more in my life than I do right now...the eliptical is calling my name. 36 weeks - the first week of December does seem to be a pretty good time to have a baby. :-)
