All I wanted for Christmas was bed rest.

I guess Christmas came early this year for Tobie. The doctors do not want her going to work anymore. She is supposed to limit her cruising around town until the babies pop. We were put on a home monitoring system for contractions and blood pressure. She is well below the average with the number of contractions/hour, but its something we need to be mindful of. Basically the doctor said she shouldn’t be cruising the malls looking for holiday cheer! (I think she is going to use this excuse to not get me any Christmas gifts this year) (I know she can shop online, but she isn’t really good at it!) .
Update: Technically she is not on bed rest, but she is just supposed to limit her mobility when she is out of the house. She can still cruise around the house when she needs to, its just getting harder for her to be semi-active.

The babies looked real good again this visit. They weren’t active. They do have this little buzzer tool that wakes them up, but Tobie wouldn’t let me use it on her.

Tobie wanted me to emphasize that the contractions aren’t that big of a deal because it’s normal for women at this stage of a multiple pregnancy to have some. As long as we are aware of it and do not engage in activies that spur more on (get your mind out of the gutter), we should be totally good!
