Bed Rest- Its official

I saw the Doctor on Friday. Actually I see the Doctor every week for a progesterone shot (the purpose of the shots is to prevent pre-term labor) and to have the condition of my cervix monitored. I was starting to feel a little concern because my Doctor had not looked at my cervix in over a month....I am glad he checked it out on Friday. My cervix is thin and open with a loose stitch. I told the doctor I was hoping for a Halloween baby and he said it was unlikely that I would make it that long. So the strict bed rest begins. It has only been 5 days and I wonder how in the world did I lay in bed for 6 months with Taten. I have been blessed this pregnancy to have had some freedom. I can lay here for 4 weeks.
