Not Free Yet...

The good news... baby girl continues to look great and has plenty of amniotic fluid!  She had both of her little hands up by her mouth again and was sucking on her fingers... I'm thinking we may have a little thumb-sucker on our hands.  The doctor was encouraged when I told her that I am pretty sure that I haven't leaked any amniotic fluid for a good four days... she said that she is very hopeful that this leak has already healed or is well on its way to doing so.

However, she said that because it has been a relatively short amount of time that I've been feeling better, she would like me to remain on strict bedrest for another week.  UGH!  I was honestly thinking that she would "set me free" today, at least to resume a minimum amount of activity.   But, I will gladly rest on this couch for another seven days if it means our little girl will stay happy and safe inside my belly. :)

We have another appointment next Tuesday.  If at that point all continues to look well with baby and me, then she will allow me to begin adding small amounts of activity into my day.  Just thinking about being able to go to church with my family on Christmas Eve warms my heart beyond words.

So we wait and pray for another good appointment next week...
