Not my favorite picture of myself, but cute kids!
At my doctors appointment last week the doctor did the exam and with a serious look on her face said you are on bed rest! I was 32 weeks, 50% effaced, dilated at a 1 and the baby is measuring 2 weeks behind.
Even on complete strict bed rest and meds to stop contractions, my body is still progressing. Every time I stand up I have pains and even when I'm laying down. They are sporadic some every hour others as close as every 15 minutes.
Bed Rest is tricky! I've had many emotions over the past week. Worry and nervousness about the baby, doing what I can to keep her in long enough. Feeling sad and angry that I can't take care of my sweet little girls. Overwhelming feelings of things that will not get done. But I have had some wonderful priesthood blessings and great thoughts shared from others that have helped keep things in perspective. Chad and my Mom have done so much, they are both exhausted I'm sure but amazing! I now feel calm and happy. I'm doing my best to stay positive and be nice to everyone. It sure makes things better when you have a more positive outlook.
Brynlyn does really well and loves to help me with things occasionally. But most of the time she is mean, defiant and angry. Peyton gets very emotional and cries for me, she loves to cuddle with me and hates bedtime. It's so hard to lay here and listen to the struggles. I am learning some great patience and communication with my children. I try really hard not to yell, and just talk to them in calm voices, give them lots of loves and reassurance's that mom is okay.
In Brynlyn's prayers she asks that baby sister can safely be born soon, so we can all do fun things again.

I feel so horrible for the things you are going through! I can't imagine how frustrated you get with not being able get up and help your other sweet girls. This time will end though and then you and your beautiful family will be able to do fun things again and it will all be worth it! Just stay brave, it sounds like you are doing very well considering everything. I would probably be a complete disaster area! Love you Wyndee and I hope it goes by fast for you! Oh and Happy Mothers Day!
Wyndee - I am so sorry you are faced with all those emotions, they are normal (not that it makes them any easier to deal with) but please know that we are praying for you, chad, and the girls. Please let me know if there is something I can do. Send the laundry with Chad or maybe I will finally have some time to do some grocery shopping and I can make some meals that he can just pop in. We love you!
Keep a smile and relax, after she is born you wont get much down time! Wishing I was closer, Love my girls
I'm so glad you are so positive!! I can't imagine how hard it is to be on bed rest with two little girls... We love you, and you are in our prayers!
