House Arrest?
So far this week has been relatively uneventful. Angela has been confined to our home per the doctor's orders and is having tons of fun watching lots of TV and reading lots of magazines. Honestly she has been able to get lots of thank you's written and rest up as she approaches the biggest change that we have ever had...the birth of our (what we think will be a very active) son. I am sure that the rest will allow her to more manage and take care of C-Bob when he gets here.
We have now moved to weekly appointments. We had one today and not only was it very quick, but it was also very uneventful. Uneventful is good though. The dr. said that everything looked really good, even though Angela lost 3 1/2 lbs. All I can figure is the day or 2 on the IV and the increased body temperature from the drugs has caused her to lose a little weight. Doc said it was no big deal. We need to hold this kid off for about 3 1/2 more weeks and then Angela can possibly begin to be a little more active. The dr. mentioned something about headstands and cartwheels, but I disagree (if my opinion matters.) She is still contracting some, but they are not "productive" and the more she takes it easy the less they come.
She did have a big day. She got to drive, see people at the church, ride the elevator and we split lunch at the Purple Onion. So much fun all crammed into one day. She admits that she overdid it a little, but its all good. She will have tomorrow to rest up.
This weekend we look forward to our mobile shower arriving from Ohio. Angela's mom and sister are going to be coming to visit for the weekend. I know that she cannot wait to see them. They should be arriving late Thursday or early Friday.
One of the things that I am doing in anticipation of the baby is to redo our shower. It is not a voluntary project, but a necessary one. We had a tile that fell off at the bottom when I pushed on it (several months ago). I eventually removed some more tile to reveal the drywall that was almost all the way rotten from water. There was also some mold. I stripped that wall down to the studs and have started on the other walls. I should be able to get the remaining wall torn down and begin figuring out just how to put up drywall or tilebacker and tileboard for our new shower. Should be interesting. I just hope that I can kill all of the mold and get the job done before the little guy gets here. The good news is that as I tore some of the tile and drywall off, some of the ugly wall paper came off too. Can't wait to tear it off next. Pink paisley...what were they thinking.
