Well, Shaynelle, I hope your bedrest is working to your and your baby's
advantage! Remember that if you don't feel well, contact your physician
immediately! That's what your physician expects.

[My wife is a neonatal nurse practitioner for 30 years, and her big
gripe is with mothers who are reluctant to call the physician. She says
that the patient knows when they are not doing well, and too many fail
to make the call early.]

One thing you can do is have your husband or partner change the
orientation of the router's antenna; sometimes this helps. OTOH, Bert
probably has the clue you need to keep your wireless connected.

I wish well for you and your baby! Are you going to deliver for Christmas?
