Getting used to these doctor-imposed periods of bed rest (or better described as feet up anywhere for at least 8 hours during the day) has been interesting. Some days, despite best intentions, I don’t make the 8 hours. Then I pay for it with scary swollen feet and ankles. Keeping your feet up is not [...]

Tom and I had an unforgettable afternoon today. It was a detailed, hour-long ultrasound to check on the baby and its development.
