I’ve started calling my bed rest my time in captivity. That’s really how this feels. I am so stir crazy I think I’m going to go insane. I’ve spent the last two days either in bed or on the couch watching TV and playing on my laptop. I am so grateful now that Joe got me this for my birthday.
I’m trying to think of other things I can do to keep my mind occupied over the next 12 days and not go completely crazy. I do have Twilight to read and watch, which should take up a good chunk of time. And, I’ve got some writing I’ve been wanting to work on but never really found the time before. Maybe this is the chance I’ve needed to get started.
And, I’m hoping to get some good naps in, especially since I don’t sleep well at night thanks to all my bathroom runs. I’m not sure how much sleeping I’ll actually do, though, because it’s hard for me to sleep during the day.
Twelve more days. Sigh. I’ve never wanted to go to work so badly!
This is so frustrating! But I think your ideas on ways to occupy yourself are great. And just think how worth it all this will be in the end!
I know that this is easy for me to say, but I would totally LOVE being able to lounge around in bed all day! OMG … that would be heaven. I would KNIT! And write snail mail letters to friends. And watch movies that I’ve been wanting to see (hello, Netflix!). And nap, of course.
Yeah, but you’re the prettiest prisoner ever!
Netflix! 😉
See if you can get someone to teach you to crochet. Then you can make Lucy a blanket. Single stitich crochet is really easy (if I can? anyone can) and you will feel like you are accomplishing something tangible. It helped me with my 8 weeks of bedrest.
Lots of movies, books, magazines (baby/parenting magazines!!!), start addressing those “thank you cards” or birth announcement envelopes, start writing a book (if you love to write that much!), crochet a baby blanket (like Michele said- it is SO SUPER easy if you don’t know how already). Ummmmm… make lists of things to do in prep for baby, write a birth plan, etc.
Looks like you have some great plans and ideas to help you pass the time. You’ll get so much done, that you will be back on your feet in no time!
Enjoy it while you can, because while the next part is amazing, sleep as much as you possibly can LOL! You’re new life is just a hair’s breath away from changing… forever 🙂
I understand. It’s not the same as having a choice of getting up whenever you want. Hang in there. Glad you’re thinking of things to occupy your mind. And congrats on Lucy Jane!
So have you bought any little girl outfits yet?
Any good books? Or maybe a “marathon” of Monk or something. Seems to pass time quickly!
