First of all it's 720 AM and I'm laying here in bed checking my email, sipping chocolate milk
my 90 year old neighbor is outside barefoot with her electric trimmer going to town
I know it won't last long because soon she'll have to get ready for work, yes she works full time
so awesome!
I've been on bedrest for over a week now. I'm starting to get the hang of it a little bit.
I've learned to never turn down any visitor or offer
I've been completely blown away by the generosity and kindness of everyone around us
We have been completely spoiled which has made this experience so much easier
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Of course it's crazy hard staying home all day every day not able to do any of the things you want to do
but everyday gets me a little closer to hopefully having a healthy strong baby and not having to send it to the NICU
which is the most important thing
One of the most positive things about bedrest is it's given me the opportunity to strengthen relationships
I get to talk to people for however long the conversation goes, I talk to at least 2/4 sisters everyday, we spent the afternoon with the Richards and well into the night Saturday never worrying about having to get something done or what we were 'sacrificing' to be there. Things have completely simplified and relaxed. Of course you couldn't live your life this way forever. You would never go to the grocery store or clean the house but I definitely have been missing a balance for quite some time.

I have been thinking about you all week. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling a little more balance in your life. I am happy to hear that you and your baby are both doing well :)
I'm glad everything is okay! I remember how freaked out I was when my water broke with Aidan but at least I was 36 weeks along so it turned out alright. Good luck with everything!
Thinking of you! I hope you're finding ways to stay entertained:)
You guys are all so nice! Sarah I had no idea you did bed rest, I'm so sorry, glad the little one came healthy and well, Andrea I remember hearing your water broke, I plan to take myself off bed rest at 36 weeks if my dr. doesn't. Betsy, I'm so excited you are having a little girl. I hope you are surviving this transition back to work!
