This week is spring beak for the kids. Too bad it's not going to be much fun for them. Monday I had an OB appointment. Actually 2, had to have the ultrasound at one time and then the OB appt later. So the kids came to those. At the OB appt I was put on pretty much bedrest and sent over to the hospital to get a steroid shot for the babies lungs. They did good there for the hour of that. The kids brought their Nintendo Ds's but both batteries had died by the time we had to go to the hospital, so we had to come up with whatever was in my car to keep them happy. Salem did some word searches and chilled. Kaden liked seeing the babies heartbeats and me getting the shot, lol. The nurse let them get a carton of milk as we left, so they liked that part. I had to go back Tuesday afternoon to get the 2nd shot. We were a little more prepared, even brought a charger in case I had to stay longer than we though. The nurse let them get the milk right off the bat this time. They really are very friendly there, answering the kids questions, letting them check it all out. No probs and I was out within an hour. I go back on Thursday for my normally scheduled NST and that should be about an hour as well for us.
No huge concerns with the babies coming early, more of a precaution thing in case they do. We're planning on inducing April 30th. I'm sure they will be happy to stay until then! I go back to my OB on Monday to see how things are and see what my restrictions are from then. As of right now I'm supposed to do less than what I have been doing...which I haven't been doing much of anything. So I lay on the couch all day and the kids are great helpers! I figure if I chill out as much as possible then I can go to Keith's bike race on Sunday! I'll bring my chair and sit my happy butt down to watch them go by. But I figure I'll only be really restricted for 2 weeks, so not too bad. Keth and the boys are having to step it up and help out more, but they're being good sports about it. It's good for them anyway!
So the poor kids are stuck at home for their Spring Break :( The weather is yucky out, rainy the past 2 days so I can't send them outside. Keith did take them out last night for a bit when it stopped an so that was good. Today it's chilly but Keith and Salem are going riding outside when he gets home. Kaden and I have been playing Wii and Webkinz. And the kids both got a new Pokemon game, so that keeps them occupied for a bit, Salem more so than Kaden. Hopefully the weather will be nice tomorrow so they can be outside!
