Happy Birthday! 2 weeks bedrest. Gee thanks Doc. :/

Where to start.... I started the weekend in quite a bit of pain and just thought it was from a fall i'd taken last week and overdoing it during the week. But by Monday I couldn't hardly move so decided to go see my NP. Turns out I pulled all the muscles in my lower abdomen. Partly due to me overdoing it and partly due to Gavin's growth rate. He is growing faster than my little body can adjust for. Two weeks ago I was measuring 2 weeks ahead (which I did the entire time with Lucas) and Monday when I went in I am now measuring 4+ weeks ahead! It's never good when you're laying on the exam table and your Dr. is measuring you and says "oh my".... Yep, I'm a fatty, I get it. SO we go back in on the 6th of January and if i'm still measuring this far ahead they want to do another ultrasound to check things out.
So, back to the bedrest.... it is impossible to follow Dr's orders when you have a very active toddler running around. Especially one who today decided to wipe poop all over himself. UGH. :) Entire pregnancy hormones and it's just all a big mess. Needless to say it's going to be a LONG 2 weeks.
