Bed Rest

Let's see if I can remember how to use this site. Seems I haven't done much with it since we started it. Now that I'm on bed rest for who knows how long, guess I have time to figure it out. Mom's right, I need things to occupy my day. It's weird to just be stuck at home with little allowed movement all of a sudden.

Can’t believe we got a bunch of snow yesterday. Was very unexpected! Made myself a cup of hot chocolate and sat by the Christmas tree and read my book/watched the snow come down. It’s surprising how hard it is to relax after sitting here for so many days but that sure did the trick.

I have the best hubby in the world. He knows I’m going slightly out of my mind with boredom so he surprised me with a Nintendo DS with a few games yesterday. Have played two of them, Brain Age and Zenses Rainforest. They’re puzzle games. Sure has helped to pass the time and maybe my brain won’t just be mush after all of this inactivity.

We had Christmas at our house since I’m on house rest (or “house arrest” as I call it). Scott’s mom, dad, sister, sister’s boyfriend, aunt and aunt’s boyfriend came over. Thankfully his mom was all prepared to cook brunch and everyone pitched in to clean up. His parents hung out for the rest of the evening and made dinner as well. It was weird to be the hostess but not be allowed to do anything. Scott was pretty ragged after two weeks of taking care of us and getting the house ready for company. It sure is nice to have the house together though (aside from the garage and guest room that are still full of things unpack). We need to get the guest room in order this weekend though because Amy Jo will be here soon for a week at the office.

We had another doctor’s appointment on Monday (we’ll have one every Monday until the baby comes). Nothing’s changed…which is good. Guess the rest is doing the trick. Doctor thinks he’ll stick with me for another two weeks at least. The baby sure has grown some strong legs. He can kick me pretty hard these days. Strange how something mildly painful can be so reassuring and comforting. :oD
