Hey girls. So, unfortunately, I am on bedrest again :(. I have been having pretty severe back pain and at my OB appt this week, my DR. suggested that I be placed on bedrest until I reach full term (which is next Friday). She said that since back pain can be an indicator of pre-term labor I need to take it easy until it's time for the baby to come out. So, this is only a week and a half and I know I will survive, but you girls know me...I don't like to be contained and told I can't go anywhere or do anything!
Fortunately, Kirk's sisters Katie and Konni came up on Wednesday to help out with Elijah and they have been taking good care of him the past 2 days. They left this afternoon to head to Chicago to see Kirk's other sister Kelly, but they will be back Sunday night to help out next week as well. It's nice to not have to lift him and get him fed and all that stuff because that was taking a toll on my body. I sure do miss being on the floor with him and playing catch and building towers out of blocks with him :(.
Please pray for me. I am discouraged a little bit and it is difficult to be dependent on others for so much. It's been a humbling experience...I know God is using it to shape me and grow me...just pray I am open to that shaping and that growth! Please pray for the baby as well...I know God will bring this baby to us in His perfect timing, but it would be nice if he/she would stay in there until it's time!
I'll keep you posted of course :). Love you all.

Oh no... Just take this time of rest as a gift from God. I do understand what you mean though. My residents at work who are handicapped hate that they aren't as independent. It is a huge struggle for people. But let us carry your burden too.

I will be praying for you, Chrissie! Somehow this verse that I was reading in Psalm 18 seems fitting: "You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning my God turns my darkness into light." (v.28) In fact, I just prayed for you now, that God would keep your lamp burning and that He would offer light into the potential darkness (loneliness, discouragement) of your situation. Love you!
