Worries...

Ok, so this could be long...

When I was pregnant with Aidan it was not an easy ride, in fact it was a rollercoaster majority of the time.. I had bleeding and HCG troubles early on, then finally got past 14 weeks when I did start to feel better, but the enjoyment was short lived, pre-term labour struck at 21 weeks, was flown to Adelaide and then the long haul til the end started... I spent the rest of the time- 16 weeks on bed rest and in and out of hospital... it was a long, drawn out, stressful and yet incredibly boring process at the same time, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat given the opportunity, by going through this, helped me to keep my little man baking for those 16 weeks... bed rest is incredibly infuriating at times, the first week or so is really good, you get to sleep as much as you want, day and night, watch lots of trashy tv shows, catch up on all the gossip mags etc, but it loses it's appeal very quickly when it becomes the only things you can do.... I got that bored I started knitting.... yes, you read right, knitting! Me, sitting there in bed or on the couch like a little old lady, a fat one at that, knitting! lol... but you know what, when you're in that situation it's amazing the things that will entertain you... and it did fill some of my time in.
But in the process of all of this, I turned into a phsyco pregnant lady, I was going nuts, I craved for any kind of conenction to the outside world, and thankfully Shane is easy going, and would let most of my crazy antics just go in one ear and out the other..... thank god for that, otherwise he may have gone insane too!

Now, the reason that has brought this all to an end is that amazing sister in law I have told you about, she is currently 27 weeks along with her 2nd bundle of joy, and is having a bit of a rough time with blood pressure, nearly landed herself in hospital, and I am worried for her, natural instincts I guess, and that's when I started remembering what it was like for me.... and have also given her the lecture, on rest up, read trashy mags, watch trashy tv and get lots of sleep, but I don't think this will be an easy thing for her, like me the first week or so, she will be loving, but it will get old, and quickly... so please everyone, cross your fingers for her, that the meds help bring it down and she can avoid the hospital, and bed rest.... But Ez, if this happens, doesn't mean you can go and start doing everything again!!! Take it easy! Ok?!!!
