We went back to the hospital for a check on my amniotic fluid this afternoon. It had doubled in quantity since Wed.! My midwives were very proud. I sat on the monitor for 40 minutes and Peanut looked good. The bedrest and all that water I have been consuming are doing the trick. I am on modified bedrest now which means I can do one activity a day as long as I rest the other times. Activities would include going out to dinner or a movie. The most adventurous I can be is going grocery shopping and only if I bring someone with me. I can live with that. They will check my amniotic fluid again next week.
Unfortunately more ultrasound gel today means my new stronger rash is really irritated. I don't think I am likely to get sleep tonight. I had an oatmeal bath earlier and took a 45 min nap. I have also been having contractions and more frequent pelvic pains. I usually get them standing up but these went on for 15 mins. while I was sitting. Just a preview of what is to come I'm sure. : )
PS I had my suitcase in the car when I went to my appointment. I think that helped bring us good luck.

Wow! I've missed some major excitement going on around here! I will be thinking of you often. I am so sure that you are close to delivery. I can't wait for you to hold your little one. {{{hugs}}}
Thats great that your appointment went well! I'm sure it'll be nice to be up and around a little bit. That packed suitcase must have been your good luck charm!
Great news about your amniotic fluid. That darn rash! you poor thing. I forgot that you still were suffering for it. Couple more weeks... almost there, Alisa! :)
I'm so glad things are improving in there for peanut. :)
So happy to hear all is well. Sorry you still have that rash to deal with. Hang in their you only have a few more weeks.
Oh wow Alisa!! Getting close huh? I am so extremely happy for you!!! Hope the rash gets better for ya, I am sure it will though;o) Hang in there {{{hugs}}}
I'm hoping that since you haven't updated in two days, that it means you had your little one! Or that you are at least resting. :) I miss you!
