Friday I had my 29 week appointment. The doctor preformed the Fetal Fibronectin Test (fFN - http://www.ffntest.com/info/fetal_test/what_fetal.html), which came back positive. That means that I have a 50/50 chance of delivering in the next two weeks. So, I have been put on strict bed rest until week 35. I am only allowed to get up to use the restroom, go to my doctor appointments, shower, and eat at my kitchen table. So, I am pretty useless.
These restrictions have have caused SSG B to become quite stressed...even though the poor man doesn't show it at all. He has to worry about me, Hannah, baby Abby, work, and our house. He doesn't even have time for himself and I don't think I've seen him eat anything all day. He had 24-hour CQ yesterday that he couldn't get out of. Supposedly, there wasn't anyone to take his shift. He has to go in tomorrow wo find out what (if anything) they can do for him in this situation, whether it's working from home, or taking emergency leave. He will probably even have to take Hannah in for the morning, as I can't find anyone to be here with us until noon.
As I mentioned in my last post, our family pretty much sucks. And now more than ever, to the tenth power! The only one of our parents who has offered to help is my Mom. And, bless her heart, she is pretty clueless and has a number of medical issues, so she is really more work than help. So that isn't really even an option. I can't remember if I mentioned this, but SSG B and I are both only children. That means, that our parents don't have any other children to be concerned about....but apparently they are even concerned about the ONLY one that they have! It really makes me sick. I have friends who are better support and "family" than my biological family. Some specific examples include (but are not limited to), telling me that they would love to help but are so far away...... Well, good news, we have an airport 10 minutes from our house! Hop on a plane and get here this week! The other specific example that blows my mind in my stepmom (who doesn't have children, and that is probably a blessing). I called today, and all she wanted to talk about was her new patio furniture. Never once asked how I am, how we are holding up, or how she could help. Give me a break! These people suck, and they need to be fired as parents. That's all I'm sayin....
