BED REST!!!!

UGH!!!! I am now on bed rest and for who knows how long. We had Caidans 1st birthday party Saturday (I'll have pictures later) and just before the last person left my contractions came back. I started taking my oh so lovely pills but half an hour later they were still coming. So of course I called the doctor who then sent us to the hospital again (this is the third time). They then gave me two shots of the not so fun medicine and ran a test again to see if i was going to go into labor. It came back negative again (thank you God)! He then sent me home on bed rest this time. 

If everyone could pray for my husband who has now taken on all the responsibilities. I think as moms we just naturally do it but at least for my husband taking care of EVERYTHING doesn't come so natural and he is very nervous about me and the baby. And I know i have asked for pray a lot lately but right now our main goal is to keep this baby in as long as possible. And also for Caidan as it is a BIG adjustment for him and he doesn't understand why mama can't pick him up or do anything with him. And for myself... the stress of the whole thing is enough but not being able to take care of my son is very difficult. We (Caidan and I) are used to a schedule with each other and it works and now that different people are taking care of him all the time its very hard on both of us. Moms are supposed to take care of their kids and thats the biggest challenge I am having. To not be able to pick up your child is hard.
