This last Monday I went into the doctor's and she decided to put me on bedrest!!
She wants me in a reclined positions, not sitting, and only getting up to go to the bathroom. She wants me up for no more than 10 minutes at a time. Yes, I freaked out a little when I heard the news, how in the world was I going to do this for 13 weeks?? I'm a lot calmer now and am overwhelmed with all the support I have received from family, friends, and church members. Everyone has been so good and so understanding!! I really feel that this is a blessing in disguise, a blessing that I went into the doctor's and that we caught this early before my body went into labor. Right now I'm fine and the baby is fine. I feel that if I stay put and do what the doctor says this little guy will stay put as well.
So, anyone who reads this blog, I would love suggestions on books, movies, crafty projects, tv series, games, etc. Any suggestions for what a girl can do when she is on bedrest!!
Well, I better get off the computer, I'm trying to recline in this chair and post, but it isn't working so well. I don't think I will be posting as much, unless I get a laptop, then I will probably be posting a few times a day. Do you think this bedrest could justify buying a laptop? Hmmmmmm.....
I know one thing you can do....call me!! :) I hope you are doing well. I was on bed rest for like less than one day and it was pretty awful.
ReplyDeleteOf course I have some suggestions:
TV: The Office, CSI (we like New York and Vegas, not such a fan of Miami) I would stay away from those mushy baby story shows on TLC. It gets me all worked up and when I was pregnant, I couldn't watch a single episode without crying!
Books:
- Woman of Independent Means by Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey
- the vampire books by Stephanie Meyer (I can't remember if you have already read these)
- Wednesday Letters by Jason Wright
- Girl of Hyacinth Blue by Susan Vreeland
- The Alchemist by Paul Coehlo
I'm currently obsessed with the library so if you want more suggestions just let me know!
Also, if you were REALLY bored you can help me plan Anna's first birthday party. :)
What happened, you seemed perfect two weekends ago??? I will have to call you and keep you busy! LOL... hope you are feeling good... ummm any suggestions... Harry potter series for books or movies... and you can read them to the kids or watch them too. ok I am out of suggestions... sorry!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you on bed rest? I will have to call you too! Well I am currently working my way through the Anne of Green Gables series (about to start the last book) Some other books I have read recently that I have enjoyed are:
ReplyDeleteCheaper by the Dozen
The Giver
Number the Stars
A wrinkle in Time
The Dark is Rising
All childrens books, so if you are looking for a more adult book I am not the one to listen to. I am also listening to a tape my mom recommended called "A Short history of nearly everything" I think it is really enjoyable to listen to and it seriously is about a bunch of random stuff. Right now it is talking about Super Nova's and the Big Bang Theory.
I hope you can figure out ways to entertain yourself and I hope everything is ok!
oh man that stinks!!! Let me know what I can do to help...Books to read...The 5 love languages, Rock Solid Relationships, No one can take your place...ummmm not a BIG reader but those I have read and they are great!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you're on bed rest, but glad you caught it in time not to go into labor. My suggestion is if you are going to have to watch tv, then choose what to watch, by subscribing to netflix. They deliver movies to your mailbox .. very convenient.
