Work Today... Who Knows About Next Time?

After finally hearing back from my OB's nurse yesterday afternoon at almost 5 pm, I was told it would be ok to "try" work today and see how it goes. So today I braved the 5 and 6 year old hyped up on Christmas, Santa, and the impending snow storm and I am happy to say I survived without any problems. (My computer contracted a virus so I was unable to use it; a major inconvenience when you are trying to get caught up after being gone unexpectedly for two days--- but personally and physically I had no problems)

My kinder co-workers helped me shuttle my class to and from lunch, special classes like art, and the bus, as well as got my mail for me throughout the day so I didn't have to walk all the way down to the office. One co-worker even hauled my holiday gift loot to my car for me. I hope their generosity continues because it really saved me a lot of steps and energy today.

I plan on going in next week while we are off of school and finishing getting everything set for the remainder of the school year (while taking it easy, of course). My other goals for the week off: packing the hospital bag (I learned the hard way this week not to let your husband pick out clothes when in a pinch- he seriously grabbed one of his Tshirts with a skull and a small hole in the front for me to wear), and get as much done in the babies' room as possible (getting it completely done might be too lofty of a goal at this point, but I'm going to try). I think a big chunk of stress about possible bedrest will be alleviated if those things get taken care of.

My next OB appointment and glucose test is on December 30th... I hope after chatting with my OB I can get a better picture of what my January will be like. In the meantime, I am unsure of how to handle the NICU nurse that said she'd be calling every few days to see how I'm doing "on bedrest." I am thankful that she is so caring to go out of her way to help so I don't want to cause any bad feelings. I'd love some advice about what I should say to her when she calls.

Stay tuned for the finished quilts as well! My friend is just finishing up the edges and I am SO EXCITED to see how they turned out and share them with all of you!
