Bed rest, bed rest, bed rest!!!


Wow! It has been a while since I have done a post. I am going on my 10th week of best rest! Going a little bit crazy! I wanted to give everyone a little update on myself and the twins. I spent Monday, January 14th, through Saturday in the hospital. I initially went in because I felt some pressure and ended up staying a week after days of many contractions. I had a test done called Fetal Fibronectin which measures the protein that is found in the amniotic sac and fetal membranes and if present after 22 weeks means pre-term labor is pretty much certain. So after hearing I tested positive and finding out I had dilated a centimeter already I was very concerned. The doctor let me go home because I was going to go 5150 (mentally insane). Since then I have been put on even stricter bed rest and can only get up to go to the bathroom and take a shower. Thanks to my mom and mother-in-law( and other family and friends) I have been able to do just that. I will try to post a picture of my fat self when I muster the will to actually have my picture taken. Mitchell, has stayed busy with his artistic side and got bored one night. We walked into his play room and he had moved all his chairs from the kitchen and strategically stacked each one on top of each other in a matter of minutes! I can't believe he will be 2 February 1st!

Christmas Eve with The Dean Family




We spent Christmas Eve with all of Andrew's immediate family and their kids. We had so much fun and so did all the 14 grandkids. There are 12 grandsons and only 2 grandaughters. Mitchell is at the very top standing on top of the couch. I have also included pics of the twins. One is of the girl and the other is a blurry pic of the boy and his big feet!
