The Joys of Pregnancy
This pregnancy has been a little bit more difficult than my last one. Everything is fine, but we'd still appreciate your prayers. I overdid things on Saturday and have been trying to take it easy since then. I struggle with the line between worrying and being wise. For example, they said that volleyball was little much for a while. Okay, that's understandable. But if volleyball is too much, how about taking Ellie to the zoo? How about shopping and cleaning and errands and all that good stuff? Plus, it's kind of hard not to think about it all the time. Luckily, I'm on spring break this week, so that's made it easier. So I guess I'm working on resting in God's hands now and trying to rely on His wisdom for how much to do and all that.

I'm sorry things have been rougher this time around. We did miss you at Volleyball this week, but I'm glad you're taking it easy. I'm praying everything from here on out goes smoothly!
While we will miss you at volleyball, we do want the baby (and you) to be healthy first and foremost so take care of yourself. Volleyball will be there when you return. BTW - We had 21 people there last night (3 teams of 7).
As for the errands and cleaning being "good stuff", that is not necessarily what I would call it, but I guess that is your call since you are the one doing them.
So what's going on? Don't let those OBs scare you. http://askdrsears.com is a GREAT resource.
Also, excellent books to have on hand are:
The Birth Book, by Dr. Sears
The Pregnancy Book, Sears
The Baby book, Sears
Birthing from Within, England
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, Gaskin.
If you have "What to Expect When You're Expecting," please burn it or throw it away.
Allison, I'm not tooting my own horn, but I have become very educated in all things baby and birth, so if you need ANYTHING please don't hesitate to ask.
