Bed Rest....

Last Saturday started out great. We went to a friends house for a bar-b-q and Brian was able to play a game of D&D. Around 6pm that evening I started to have contractions and told Brian I think we better go to the hospital to make sure everything was ok. Turned out things were not alright and I was transferred to another hospital off post just to be on the safe side. Once there I was admitted for observation. We called one of Brian's friends to come and take Iain for the night before I was transferred (so at least I knew my little boy was safe and away from all the drama that was happening to his mommy). I hardly got any sleep that night. Sunday morning we (Brian and I) were told that I was being discharged that was at 10 am but we were still there at 4:30 in the afternoon. When we finally signed the discharge paperwork the nurse informed us that the doctor wanted me on bed rest (which kinda sucks for me because I'm at the stage in my pregnancy that all I want to do is get my house in order or most commonly known as nesting). I was also told that I need to see my doctor as soon as I could (good thing I already had an appointment set up for that Tuesday).
I saw the specialist Tuesday morning and she told us I was on modified bed rest. Which means I can get up to go the restroom and get my own food. I can't stand or sit for too long, no lifting or pushing anything heavier than 10lbs, and I'm not suppose to chase after Iain and to try and lay on my left or right side.
Well, I can tell you this is really hard to do. I'm going crazy. I want to go on walks and play outside with Iain or heck play in the house. I don't know if I can do this. I just hope I don't go on full bed rest or heaven forbid hospital bed rest I just might scream. Please keep our twins and family in your prayers. We really need to keep them where they are for at least 7 weeks (which gets us to 36weeks) but we are hoping 11 more weeks (which gets us to their due date).
*I left quite a few details of things that transpired on Saturday because I just don't want to write about them.
