Bedrest Day 33-35 (Friday-Sunday)

I have a good excuse for not blogging-mom is visiting! As you can see from the below picture, this visit includes lots of pampering like Starbucks in the morning, take-out lunch, home-cooked dinner, and an in-bed pedicure! Doesn't get much better than that!
I've also been able to spend lots of time with Scout lately, as Scott has become quite the pro at sneaking her in. Though she's always beeen a daddy's girl, my time away has increased her attachment to Scott, so it's been great to see her and let her know I haven't completely abandoned her. I've had several fun visits recently, too, which has been entertaining, especially when they involve toddler boys!
Today marks 5 weeks in the hospital. Luckily, it doesn't feel that long but I am defnitely ready to get out of here if Wednesday's tests indicate that it is safe to continue bedrest at home. Reaching 28 weeks is hugely reassuring, though we just scheduled my c-section date in January, and I'm fully hoping to get to, or at least very close to, that date.
PS-There will be a contest on Wednesday: Guess Buggy's Weight! Stay tuned for details...

Your pedicure and visits from Scout look like a lot of fun! I hope your test on Wednesday goes well.

Glad you're being treated so well! Love that Scout is good at sneaking in. I personally feel she should get credentials as a therapy dog, mind you. ;-) Dogs are just good for the soul. (((Hugs)))

I am so glad your mom came to visit. You deserve some pampering! Scout looks happy too, I am sure she is enjoying her time with you as well. I am thinking good thoughts for your test on Wednesday.
Hang in there!

Fingers crossed for Wednesday.
28 weeks!
Glad that your mom is visiting and looking after you. And that Scott is still keeping up his dog-sneaking-in skills.

That's so wonderful to have a visit from your mom. I am sure she is doing as much pampering as can be squeezed into her time with you. Hope you have nothing but excellent results/report from your test on Wed. Give your mom a hug from us. Lots of love!!

I wouldn't expect anything less from Barb! Wish we could be there, too, to bring lots of treats... We will send extra good thoughts your way on Wednesday!

Glad to see that 2 special ladies in your life (your mom and Scout) are taking suck good care of you - and Scott too of course. I can't believe they still don't know about Scout's visits. What a sneaky pup! Maybe we'll try to sneak Darby in when I'm in the hospital - something tells me she wouldn't stay still or quiet in the bag. Plus, she'd definitely make a break for the snack center.

Love your mom's decorations!

Hang in there sending lots of love!
