D. JonesI need to explain my absence.

Ladies and gentlemen. I wish to enlighten you as to why I have been gone. Not that many have noticed, but it has been a while. I had a threatened pregnancy and am on bed res (kinda still)t. Actually I am supposed to be on bed rest, but am past the 12 week mark now, so the risk to the child has gone down dramatically.
We had trouble discerning what part of the pregnancy I was in and the beauty of technology saved my butt yet again. I can not thank the inventor of Sonograms enough. We have been holding our breath for the past 2 months wondering if the baby was still alive. We took blood test after blood test with mixed results. I frequently lose children, so this is a serious issue. Then the doctor scheduled a peek inside. We thought I was 6 weeks along, and thus had another 6 weeks of bed rest. However, I am lucky in finding out I am much further along. Almost 2 months further!
I never really thought about how much technology affects every part of our life. With out that little machine I would be tied to a bed for another month. I am still supposed to rest every hour or so though. No lifting, no dangerous stuff, (like riding motorcycles) However, this one thing has profoundly affected my ability to care for myself better. It also has given me a reason to stop holding my breath.
I know this isn't a typical post, but life being what it is...it is technology related.
