Bed rest

Mui was put on bed rest due to some complications...

For those who have not been informed or updated on what has been happening within this last month, I am no longer working and am confined to the bed. I have been put on bed rest as of February 3, 1999, after a day's stay in the hospital. What is bed rest? Well, it means that I have to stay in bed 24/7 and the only times that I can get out of bed are to go to the restroom and to take a short five minute shower. The baby is still due on June 10th. The reason why I was put on bed rest is because I had contractions too early (in week 22) and there was a possibility that the baby might come out before it is developed enough to survive. Right now, I'm in my 26th week so there are still two more weeks before the baby is developed enough to survive. The doctor did mention, though, that there is a 75-80% chance that this could be a premature baby. As of now, I have been laying in bed for about a month now and if you ask me, it's hell! There isn't much that I can do since I'm restricted to my bed. I'm not even allowed to sit up straight!!

As for Mike, he's still working and I mean working. On weekdays, he makes me breakfast before he goes to work, comes home during lunch to feed me, and comes home after work to do more work. Not only does he have to make me dinner, he also has to clean the house, wash the clothes and dishes, and work on the computer (such as updating this website). He's been a very, very busy man lately. On the weekends, he tries to do some yard work if it's not raining and also more house chores.
