Of A Different Spirit

I have a small update today and it is certainly good. The test from my past appointment came back with good results. There is a 99% chance that I will not go into labor in the next two weeks. My doctor is very please with my improvement and will be seeing me on Friday where I will receive any change of orders.

So, I am still at home and staying off my feet, but it seems to be working so I will continue until the doctor says otherwise. I'm also getting great ideas about cooking and home improvement, so if anybody needs a good chicken recipe or an idea on how to decorate a patio...

After being stuck in my apartment for a little over a week, I am beginning to think that maybe of the many diseases that pirates suffered from, Cabin Fever may have been the worst. Really, what's a few spots from not eating enough fruit compared to looking at the same thing day after day? I will be sure to post my final result when I feel I have reached it, but it looks like Cabin Fever may be winning.

It seems I will have a few more days to calculate the results of my study. I just got back from my Dr.'s appointment and it went very well. I have shown some improvement, but I am waiting on a test that will determine whether or not I can return to some normal activity. So, things may be back to a somewhat normal state on Monday, but for now I will continue building a good relationship with our love seat. So, continue to keep us in your prayers, they are really helping!

It seems that Caleb is very anxious to make his debut, which means I am getting my fill of re-runs, Food Network, and HGTV.

Our appointment last Tuesday went well. His heartbeat, as usual, was good, although he wouldn't stay still so that the nurse could listen to it for very long. All of my work up was good as well and the results from my blood work came back without any cause for concern. Everything was going great until the doctor told me that I was showing early signs of labor, a little earlier than what she would like.

So, the last few days I have been staying off my feet and getting familiar with some of the shows I don't get a chance to watch during the day. It has also been nice to catch up on some of my reading. I'm hoping that after Thursday everything will return to normal so that I can help a little with moving and setting up the nursery.

I think after we get settled, I might have Keith on reduced activity for a while because of all he has been doing since I have been out of commission. He's been taking such good care of Caleb and me, but I know he's exhausted!

I'll have an update on Thursday. Please keep us in your prayers. We are both fine, but I would like to be back on track instead of running early.
