Mom's on modified bed rest

So, Mom's on modified bed rest until Baby Boy Austria arrives. She can go out a bit, but mostly she's to lounge around the house, and no more going to work. It's hard for her to sit still and rest, but everyone says to take advantage of it before the baby arrives. Baby Boy Austria will probably be an April baby at this point, as they're closely watching my amniotic fluid level. It was low on Wednesday, but it went up ~3cm on Friday (drinking lots of water), and there are two more tests this coming week (Monday and Thursday). Mom hopes to keep the baby in her belly for at least another week, as her doctor's on vacation this week. The hospital bag is packed.

The nursery is really starting to come together. Dad spent most of yesterday putting things away and hanging pictures. We now have all the major necessities, and figure everything else can wait or we'll see what we really need when he arrives.
