Bored on bedrest - Update !
Hi Everyone,
I am now on modified bed rest. I am 30/31 weeks today and last week I thought I had a pulled stomach muscle. Turns out if was contractions and had no clue... I am dialated to a 1.5. Luckily, they were able to stop it and I am on meds to keep contractions away. So far so good. I have been taken out of work, and given steroid injections to help mature babies lungs incase we can't keep him in. This is my first official day off of work and I am bored out of my mind. This will be so worth it, but leaving the house messy and not being able to nest is driving me crazy. I will be on a lot trying to keep occupied I am sure.
This all happend the day before my baby shower. I was still able to attend, but had to sit the whole time. Even though I didn't feel that great after my ordeal it was lovely. I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends/family, and I am almost all prepared for the baby now. I posted a few pics. I hope all of you ladies are doing great... would love to hear what everyone is up to!

Hey hon...I'm sorry you are bored to death. I would be, too!!
You are lucky though. Hubby does most of the cooking so that's great. My husband is the same way. He cooks so I don't have to worry about that. He pretty much does all of the household chores lol.
I'm glad your shower went great and you got all the stuff you needed. I'm headed over to your profile to see pics :-)
Don't you worry about a thing hon. Time flies....and I'm pretty sure your boy will be full term.

Maxine- I am so lucky when it comes to cooking he does most of the cooking anyway so that I don't have to worry about. I do knit so I need to get out my needles and everyone is getting scarfs for christmas...lol I think I will have the hubby wash all of the baby clothes and I will fold them and organize them by age on the couch for him to put away.
Feather2e- great idea about the meal plans that will come in handy I am sure... I did all of my thank you notes today and sat twiddling my thumbs afterwards ...lol
KarenDiane- I will for sure be catching up on some movies on demand... all the chick flicks I can't watch with my husband haha. I have a couple books to read as well.
I am just not much of a sitter... I am very impatiant and am constantly on the go. I guess I need to learn how to relax and be calm person!!

One project you can do is to get your thank you cards out and make a list of addresses for birth announcement etc....Start making quick meal plans for when the baby is here because the first few weeks are tiring. I know how hard it is on bedrest but take advantage of the rest .
Sorry to hear that Heather. Good thing they caught it early. I guess you better start watching soap operas. LOL. Glad you had a good shower.
I mean as in I would love to stay home and do my own things and prepare for the LO but I have to work so to me its not fun esp when there is nothing much to do at work. Oh you can also try crocheting? Sewing something for your baby?
Sorry to hear you had early contractions but I am glad you went in and they caught it in term and you got your steroid shot just in case. Um. I don want to be on bedrest either but I would love to stay home and rest and let the LO bake as long as I can. Maybe you can get DH to get you some books and some good movies for you to read. Who will be cooking for you then if you are on bedrest?
