I think I'm finally past the initial shock and upset of all of this - must have moved past denial and anger and all of that - but this still isn't fun. Sitting around on your behind day and night while watching life proceed on around you while having absolutely no control and being completely unable to participate is extremely frustrating - particularly when you're a bit of a control freak (which I most certainly am not).
On a happy note, at my appointment this week, it appears the bedrest is doing its job. My cervix hasn't shortened anymore and has actually closed up a bit. And the baby is no longer so completely engaged in my pelvis like she was. So yay! But I'm still down until 36 weeks. So - crap.
Oh, and I've had a fabulous head cold for the past week, and now have the matching cough. Coughing is so much fun with a weak pelvic floor and a stomach already sore from contractions. Oh, and breathing was already difficult - I frequently have to sit/lay with one or both arms above my head to be able to draw a decent breath.
And, as I'd feared, my butt has grown considerably in the past 3 weeks. Sweet! Can't wait to work that off!
But other than that, things are swell. :-)
