Journey of a bedrest: day 4

Only 17 days to go...
I changed my pijamas :) who would have though that not doing anything all day could get your pijamas dirty :p
So now I am wearing some yellow chicken pjs, with chicks rules al over them! I hope if baby bear is a boy he doesnt get offended!

FFF- Thankful

I am thankful that after the scary incident this is still hanging at my mother's door:

It says "Grandma I love you a lot", it was my way of letting her know about our sweet baby bear!

We are really thankful the spoting stoped and we are looking forward to a healthy heartbeat on our next ultrasound.

Journey of a bedrest: day 3

Only 18 days to go...Here I am on my bed (of course) trying out my new camera!!!! cause look at what I got in the mail today: My Baby Be Mine Maternity Band, to help expand my pre pregnancy pants, and I am really happy with the quality of the fabric!
I know my belly is not that big yet but I couldnt help getting it :) plus who knows when it will start growing, gotta be prepared!

My brand new Coolpix L20 camera from Nikon, it is still a point and shoot and we DO want a better camera, but for now this will work great!

And finally my Belly Book, it is a great pregnancy journal, just for the belly, I love it and already started filling it in!

So today is actually an exciting day here at bedrest land, and we are happy to report ZERO bleeding since the first scary episode :) Couldnt be happier!

Journey of a bedrest: day 2

Only 19 days to go...
Asking people for food is harder than you would have though, I hate feeling like I am bossing around :/ and dont have a clue what I want! I wish they would just tell me I'll make this for you :) and it's only day 2, lol ohhh what a journey!!
I've been sleeping on a weird schedule wish I dont want to get used to because it will be hard to break once I go back to work!
I also discovered that 98 channels on a TV are not enough channels and that people dont log into msn in the morning :/
A lot of people from Los Cacaos have called me today wich made me real happy, they said they'll be praying for us to go back soon :) and said they'll take care of Bayo while I am here; these people are so great to us!

Journey of a bedrest: day 1

Only 20 day to go...
Being on the bed is not so bad, of course I only say that because this is the first day and I dont want to go into crazy mode :/
Bayo left today for Los Cacaos, wish made me real sad to be unable to go with him, I really love working there!
I've been using the internet for all the time we dont have access and I hope I dont run out of things to do on my first day.... so sugestions are welcome!

1st Month

I saw this idea in a diferent blog and will do a monthly update :) people usually do it weekly but I think one each month will work for us!In my pijamas getting ready for 3 weeks in bed!! Sorry for the bad quality pic, is all we could get with Bayo's cellphone, my camera will arive in a couple of days!!

How far along? 1 month (5 weeks), still need a confirmatory ultrasound because so far the ones I’ve got just show us the baby sac and we need one to measure the baby, we can’t guide ourselves from my last menstrual period because I am really irregular.

Total weight gain/loss: + 1, probably not pregnancy weight, lol!
Maternity clothes? Not yet.

Stretch marks? None, and hopefully they’ll stay out!

Sleep: perfect!

Best moment this month: finding out about our sweet baby bear.

Movement: can’t wait to feel it!

Food cravings: not really, wish is weird because I always have cravings… but I am waking up at 5 am hungry!
Gender: just a baby bear.

Belly button in or out? Still in.

What I miss: I don’t miss anything yet, it is too soon to miss, but I know I will miss working, because I am stuck in bed for 3 weeks.
What I am looking forward to: in 3 weeks seeing baby bear heartbeat strong and leaving the bed!
What I learned this month: God is great and powerful, He can do anything!

BIG SCARE!

today I spotted a tiny bit :( wish made us both cry our lungs out, we already love this baby too much!
I came back home for an ultrasound and everything is perfect, thank God!
Still the doctor doesnt want me working so I will be hanging around for 3 weeks until I get another ultrasound and reconfirm everything is perfect.
Please pray for us, it was really scary and we dont want to loose our tiny baby bear!
So I will keep posting from my bed :)
