I Don't Wanna Go Anywhere

Okay so I have two doctors appointments this week. Yesterday's was super stressful because they had to make sure my cervix was still

Closed. They were concerned about preterm labor and the safety of the baby.

Then we discussed all the pain I'm in. And bedrest. And how I can barely stand.

Thankfully little man is fine, but the doctor said I've gotta rest, stay off my feet, and not push myself. I've pushed and tried to faint. And falling in the middle of buying groceries alone with your toddler is all kinds of not okay.

I'm so glad the baby is okay. And that my cervix is still closed and nothing is wrong. But the doctor said this pain and pressure and dizziness isn't going away until I deliver in 4 weeks. He said it sucks. And he wishes he could take it from me. He's as old as my daddy and is so kind to me and my husband.

On top of everything else, I have a yeast infection that I'm on meds for. Needless to say, I'm huge, miserable, and hurting. I don't want to go anywhere.

But my mom and family wanna go eat. They said they won't go without me, but they've promised my 3 year old.

I've taken my meds and I'm trying to get with the program. But I kinda wish I felt like I could just stay home. I know there is no danger in going. I'm just so uncomfortable. And I could eat leftovers if they all go. Or they could bring me a plate back.

I know this is stupid. I could put my foot down. But I've been in an argument with my spouse about this taking it easy thing already and I'm sick of fighting.

I just want to give birth and have all this crap behind me.
