Update

My ultrasound this morning went well, my fluid level increased from 6 to 9.5 which is a great improvement for 4 days! It's still just a tad below normal but the doctor seemed pleased that is increased instead of staying the same or decreasing. He still felt like the best thing is to continue resting and drinking lots for the next few days. He said if I was his patient, he would keep me off work for another week, repeat an ultrasound next Monday, and then if everything still looked okay, release me to go back to work; but, if the level dropped any, put me on bedrest until delivery. But, I see my regular doctor on Wed. morning so it will depend on what she thinks as well. I want to do whatever is best for Ethan, that is the most important thing...but I do hope I am able to return to work because whatever time I stay home now takes away from my time I get to stay home after he is born. 12 weeks sounds like a lot, but its really not!! I really want the full 3 months home with my newborn!

So, for the moment, I am continuing my resting and drinking routine. Chris had to go back to work today, but I think I will be fine here with Ayden because he is self-sufficient for the most part :) I will have to get up to wipe his bottom and fix his meals, but I have to get up to pee every 10 minutes anyway! There's going to be a lot of Nick Jr. watching and storybook reading, but I think I can handle it! Letting the housework go is going to drive me nuts, but luckily I have a wonderful husband who will clean and cook when he comes home from work. And no, it may not be exactly how I would like it done, but I will just be thankful for what I get! And lets be honest, his cooking has always been better than mine anyway!

Another update on Wednesday, keep the prayers coming!
