Time bomb!

As most of you know....I have been put on moderate bed rest for the time being. I started having some random contractions about 2 weeks ago, and with some medicine they slowed down for a bit. But, as of yesterday I went to the doc for my weekly visit (yes, I am going every week now), I was still having contractions and they were pretty regular...so I am trying even harder to lay low. That's a super hard task since we have Mr. Grahambo who is running everywhere and wants his mommy to pick him up if he falls, needs a hugs, needs lifting for a diaper change, or just carrying him down the stairs. All those things I am not allowed to do b/c when I do I have a contraction. Since I am only a little over 22 weeks, I do need to watch everything I do. So we can keep this little girl inside me as long as we can!
How am I doing with that? I have my days...right now we have had a lot of help from our family, thankfully! My mom and Janet came in town last week, and this week Mike's mom has been here being our nanny, cook, and cleaner! I am so thankful for the love we have around us, the encouragement, and all you friends that have called! Thank you!
So....for some good news, little miss ellie is doing great....her heart rate is very strong and her movement is strong especially after meals. That is what keeps me keeping on right now! I know that this is only for a short time and even in the scary or frustrating moments, I have so much to be thankful for! So we are here just hanging out, and as of yesterday I will be here until I deliver Miss Ellie- I am not allowed to travel for the time being- due to the contractions, so anyone who wants to visit- come on! Thank you all for your love!
