Break from bed rest

Last Thursday, we visited Dr. L to see how the pregnancy was progressing (or not progressing) and whether he'd give us permission to attend our friends' wedding. I lost a pound which I'm having a hard time understanding since it's not like I'm burning calories with my ultra sedentary lifestyle. Is it possible to sweat a pound? Aside from the weight, things are good. Some contractions, but no further dilation. Bed rest and meds are working.

Thanks to El Nino, the 100+ degree weather last week was a bit unbearable even with two portable A/C units. By Thursday, Devin threw in the towel and checked us into the Bellevue Hyatt. A quick dinner out, room service for breakfast and most importantly A/C, what could've been better? For Dylan, hotel = vacation.

On Friday, Devin and I traveled to Alderbrook Resort for the wedding while Dylan stayed overnight with Grandma and Grandpa. We had a great time and enjoyed celebrating with Steve and Ali. Devin also surprised me with a maternity massage for my birthday which was perfect!

The break from bed rest didn't last long though - back to the slower pace of life again :(. August 13 will determine my fate and whether I'll be able to add activities. Crossing my fingers.
