Bed rest :)

Sorry I haven't posted for so long.  Here's a quick update on our trip-

We got here late Friday night and spent some time on the beach on Saturday with the Sanfts.  All 3 boys loved being in the water.  I would go back and forth between the water and sitting on the beach.  It was so nice.  This is the first time I've been to the beach that I actually remember.
Sunday we spent most of the day in the hotel and then we went with the Sanfts to their ward and then had dinner with them.  After that we went and walked around the Pier for a little while.
Monday was Disneyland.  SOOOO much walking!  I remember as a kid just running around and having all this energy, but as the old parent it is much harder!  Chase will take Collin back tomorrow since I will still be on bed rest.
Tuesday Chase had to do some work so most of the day was spent inside trying to get things clean and food ready for my bed rest.  We left for the clinic at 3 and got home at 7:30.  It took a lot longer then I was told because they did an acupuncture treatment before and after which was very interesting.  It wasn't bad, but I don't think I'll ever do it again :).  As soon as I got home I was to go on bed rest.
I've been talking a lot to Collin about it because I can't lift anything over 10 pounds or have any thing on my mid-section for a couple of weeks.  As soon as I got home last night Collin asked me to pick him up.  I got down by him and told him that I couldn't pick him up and that he couldn't lay on me for a few days because I had some babies in my tummy and I didn't want him to hurt them.  He got very serious and told me he would be very very careful so he wouldn't hurt the babies.  I told him that some mommies get very sick if they get a baby in their tummy so I am going to help this baby grow and when its born we will let the baby go home with his (we know that they are all boy embro's) mommy and daddy.  He said, no, we are his family.  I told him that these babies were for another family and after I have these babies then I will try to have a baby for our family.  I think we will have this conversation for the next 9 months over and over again, but that's ok.
Wednesday morning (today) I've just been hanging out in bed.  Chase took the boys to a park close by and my mom just left to spend the day with the Sanft's so I'm just chillin at the hotel room.  I'll stay on bed rest all day today, tomorrow and most of Friday, which was a little disappointing.  I thought that Thursday would be the 3rd day and I would be able to go see some things on Friday, but that's ok.

I have been taking a TON of med's for this- 5 pills, one shot in the hip everyday, and then twice a week I have to get two shots total and an internal pill.  I feel bad for my mom and Chase because they are the ones who are giving me the shots and I know its hard for them to have to stab me all the time.  I will start testing on Saturday to see if it was successful and have an official blood test in 8 days just to be sure.  Then at the 8 week check up they will see how many heartbeats.  We have high hopes for 2, but the doctor is expecting just one because of the condition of the embros.

That's it so far!!  Once somebody gets home I'll see if I can't find a camera cord to put some pictures up from the beach and Disneyland.

Thanks for the update! Hope you loved Disneyland and that you skipped most of the lines. :) When you get back, let me know if you need any help. Owen has been dying to invite Collin over to play.
