Bed rest

I have been put on bed rest. I don't know yet if it will be for the rest of the pregnancy or just for a few weeks. Friday night I was feeling contractions and they were painless but I could tell they were coming a lot. So we went to the hospital where we found out the contractions were coming every 4 minutes and I was already dilating. I was able to go home and keep taking the terbutaline to stop the contractions. Tuesday I saw my doctor who recommended a modified bed rest where I can get up to get the girls food and minor things like that but to be in bed as much as possible. At least I get that! It was a very boring and frustrating weekend to say the least! And that is only the beginning with Brian actually being home all weekend. Its very hard to look around and look over my list of things that I need to do and not be able to figure out how I am going to get them done. We have all of the basics in order but there are some aesthetic things and just things that would make life easier if they were done before the baby was born. So for now just know that I am bored and frustrated!

Oh that would be maddening! I hope that it's temporary! Get some good books and movies and try to enjoy the rest while you can!

I'm so sorry, girl! Isn't it always that the ones of us who wish we had a reason to stay in bed all day don't get one, and those of us who have a list of stuff to do are chainged down? What's up? I hope things settle down so you can get back to grooving.
