Milestone

When I got pregnant with twins one the of subjects I brought up was bed rest. Frankly, the idea scared the crap out of me. And I was terrified of having to use all of my paid leave for bed rest and not for maternity leave. At the time, my OB told me that I should prepare to go on bed rest "sometime during the month of July."

Check your calendar's. Today is July 31. And I am at work.

EVERYONE told me to prepare for bed rest, and I did. I talked to work about it and I always knew that it was a very real possibility. And even though it scared me, if it was what was best for the babies I would have done it (although I clearly expressed my concerns to my doctor). But I also adopted that attitude that "it wasn't going to happen." Whenever my mom would bring it up as a possibility I would change the subject and say, "nope, it's going to to happen me." Maybe having this attitude worked, maybe it didn't. But who cares. . . I met the milestone!
