Another week

Posted Tuesday, November 03, 2009 6:01 PM

Another week has gone by.  The bedrest is starting to get to me.  I feel so useless.  I went to the doctor today and he said that everything is going well and that my cervix is the same so the bedrest is working.  I did ask him what I can do and he gave me permission to go shop for the baby once but I have to be on a wheel chair.  That got me really excited.  So I have to choose the date wisely.  Since I can only go once, maybe twice. 

Back to the bedrest getting to me.  I had a mini breakdown yesterday.  I started to cry and my hubby was trying to console me but it just wasn't working.  I do feel better today though since I did get to go out.  Ill probably be ok for a few days.  I can't wait until my mom gets back and she starts to take care of me.  The nursery got painted this weekend and it looks awesome.  Now I will start to decorate well I will starting telling people how to decorate.  I think that will be one of the hardest things of this time.  The fact that I can't decorate my baby's room.  I know that this is the sacrifice that will give me a healthy baby (I have heard this 100x) but it is still hard physically and mentally.  I am hoping that it will get better.  The one things I am very happy about is that I am at home and not at the hospital. 

We are getting more and more excited at our baby's coming.  I want to know what he looks like, his personality, everything.  It is so exciting!!

Oh bedrest would be so hard!  Especially with wanting to be able to decorate.  Glad to hear you will be able to get out and shop though, that will be fun!  Good luck to you, I hope everything continues to go well and the time on bedrest goes by quickly.  How much longer?

Bedrest would destroy me.  I'm sure you're handling it just as any other mom would.  Take it one day at a time.  Each day be proud of something you accomplished, like reading a book, catching up on some DVD you really wanted to watch, organizing the baby clothes drawer - anything.  I can't believe you have to take a wheel chair!  Sounds odd and fun all at the same time.

Speaking of books you should read the novel "Bed Rest' - by Sarah Bilston. A fun chcick lit novel but I'm sure you could relate!
