I have been sentenced to bed rest until at least February 14th. I have a standing appointment every Friday (except one week we had to make it Wednesday) for an NST (which I learned was not Neo-natal stress test, it means Non Stress Test) and on February 4th I see my high risk specialist at UNC Maternal Fetal Medicine at Rex Hospital to see how well Biscuit has grown and to make sure his lungs are developed. Right now they are thinking that after the 14th I will come off bed rest and we will let Biscuit come whenever he is ready. That will put us at about 34 weeks out of 40, but since he had his steroids and seems to be slightly more developed than most babies at this time he should be good to go.
We are very grateful for all the help we have received and all the well wishes. We especially want to thank our mothers for shopping for Biscuit and for hanging out with me at the house and bringing food. I can't wait to see everyone at our Beer and Baby shower on the 25th! If this is the first you are hearing about it and need details feel free to email me at maryelise315@gmail.com . I am looking forward to seeing people and putting real clothes on!
