Stuck At Home

Last monday Sow and I went to see the doctor. The doctor was worried that Sow's belly wasn't getting big enough for the baby. That maybe this had something to do with me getting here and Sow wanting to spend time with me and go places all day. She'd been cooped up long enough and was glad to have someone to play with. Tuk-tuk ride? Sure. Walk around the mall for 3 hours? Sure. Walking Street? Night Bazaar? Sure. Sure.

So the doctor says, "No excersice. No walking. Stay in bed." And then she looks at me and says, "...and no sex."

I immediately take Sow home and put her in bed. I get her some fruit and one of her vitamin fortified milk boxes. With the thought of big belly burning into my brain, I run to the market and buy anything I think I can get her to eat. Various fruits. More milk. More eggs. Pineapple pastries. Ice cream. The works.

Well, it seems to have paid off. She's been a really good sport about being stuck here, but she finally broke down and made me take her with me to the morning market. Half way back she realized she was done with this whole walking thing. I almost got a cab for the remaining block or so, but she just needed a minute and we made it back. No more arguments about getting out and about.

Anyhow, we go to see the doctor again today, so we'll get some new belly measurements and see where things stand. We'll either be inducing the baby in a week and a half, or waiting for the baby to come naturally. Maybe 3 more weeks?
