Bed Rest it is

Yup. I'm going to remain on bedrest for a while. My doctor is out of town so I'll see him on Monday for further analysis. (I met with the on-call doc.) I had more blood work today including the magical glucose test to check for gestational diabetes, and will have results Monday. I also got my Rhogam shot that helps with my RH negative issues.
There is talk that I might be going on a medication that will prevent the contractions, but we'll have to wait for my doctor to get back in order to do so. I'll remain on bed rest at least until he gets back.
Also, I've gained another 2 lbs, which bring my total weight gain from pre-pregnancy to now to 8lbs. When I became pregnant in September, I was still carrying some excess from when I miscarried in July, so I started out a little heavier than I wanted, but the doctor is not concerned since I lost so much weight back in January. I've finally re-gained that and have added 8lbs. Hopefully however, the 1lb/week weight gain will not last as I've still got 10-12 weeks to go. Of course being on bedrest for as long as I have does not help matters.
Anyway, that's the update.
