resting

Thank you all for the well-wishes and commiseration. I loves you ladies!

I'm still taking it really easy, basically modified bedrest. Trips to the bathroom, and I will take a brief shower today (I reek!) but that's it. The bleeding has really tapered off. Last night it pretty much stopped, but this morning I have light spotting and when-I-wipe mostly brown, a little red, mucous-y (TMI?) discharge. I'm happy to see brown, let me tell ya. Brown is good. Brown I can handle. A whole lot better than red.

So, the post I should have done yesterday was an update from the weekend. And it is sort of related to the bleeding I think, because it was a really really busy weekend. Too busy I think. I don't think it is a coincidence that I had bleeding after this weekend. Clearly, I did too much.

But - it was fun. Friday was the Cubs, then rehearsal dinner for the wedding. Very nice, but we didn't stay too late. The wedding was Saturday, and it could not have been a more perfect, beautiful day. I was dressed and ready to go by 1:30pm, for a 3pm service. Afterward, we took the trolley around with the bride and groom to take pictures around the city. Reception at 6pm - very classy, lovely, fancy.

I'm sure people noticed I wasn't drinking, but no one said anything directly to me. I wasn't trying to hide it, no pretending to drink for me. But I'm sure it was noticed. Which is fine.

Went to the Cubs again on Sunday with my dad. Told him after the game, he was very excited. Told my step-mother after that. What's odd - the first question they both asked me was "How many?" I thought that was sort of a weird question to ask as the first question, but clearly they had thought that I might try for twins. I told them I was having one, and gave them a strange look. Who knows what else they were speculating about.

So all in all, a good weekend, but busy. And now, I have nothing busy to do. Rest, rest, and some more rest, those are my future plans!
