Adventures of Bed Rest

So today was day 4 of bed rest! It's really boring and I really have no interest in watching movies! I've already finished an Etsy order and am sending Tristan to mail it tomorrow. So to keep my hands busy I'm going to crochet some onesies! This is a huge step for me as I've only ever made a scarf but I have time to learn! Here is the link of the one I'm gonna tackle:

I'm going to make it in super soft lilac yarn :) keep checking back and I'll post pics of my onesie 

in progress! If this is successful next I'm going to make some diaper covers and treat them with 
lanolin so they will repel liquid (pee) and save me some money! Looks like I'm turning out to be 
a "crunchy" mom indeed!

A little update....

So I'm 21 weeks today! Yippee! But I had a feeling at some point in this pregnancy something would go a little funny, after all twin pregnancies are precarious. Totally expected at some point. 

Last night I had some cervical pain and later lost a little bit of the cervical plug. I called my doctor after hours and she told me I could either go to the ER or rest and go see her at 9 am. We decided to wait but I really did not sleep well. I checked every 4 hours to make sure things were still good. No cramps, bleeding, etc... So this morning I had a sonogram and she said that my cervix is concave. Like a little triangle (you can see the black spot in the middle)... They call it "beaking". Meaning it opened up a lil at the top but still measures normal. She said we have to watch it because twins deliver early. Nothing to be alarmed about but that I have to take it easy, not as serious as bed rest but i have to stay in bed or on the couch. I can get up and walk around but not for long. So until my appointment next Tuesday I'm putting myself on bed rest. Good news is today I already had an ultrasound scheduled for 2:30 with the twin specialist so I get to see the girls again today! Mostly I'm just trying to be relaxed about it. So perhaps y'all could pray that this resolves itself!
