10 Things That Would Sure Make This Whole “Bedrest” Crap A Little Less Sucky
**NOTE: There have been no changes since my other posts regarding being put on official bedrest. I’m referring to it as “modified bedrest” for now since my body is pretty much demanding it (alternative is passing out and heavy vomiting, which sometimes comes anyhow).
1. A dart board. On the wall in my bedroom. Except, I have really bad aim and this could be a really huge problem. That, and I might develop some anger issues…this could be really bad, actually.
2. A TV in my room (only while I’m sick).
3. Dish Network or some other service for said TV. Otherwise, it could be rather boring.
4. Small craft kits. As in, easy adult crafts (not by Rose Art) that can be finished in a few days and can be done in bed – something that is relatively easy to clean up, too.
5. A masseuse. Not that I wouldn’t love one of these on call all the time anyhow, but DUDE – who knew laying in bed for weeks straight almost could kill your muscles, giving you the worst body aches. Wait, I did know that.
6. A nanny.
I’m feeling like the worst mother in the world EVER right now. Maybe she could do some light housekeeping too?
7. Mary Poppins. Yes, someone find her for me please. Maybe she has some magical dose of something for me? (Hopefully it’s legal.) Plus, maybe she can spin me and L into magical worlds without us having to leave my bed?
8. Something majorly cool for L…
9. An extra bed in L’s room. Her floor is really hard. (Hey, maybe I can bribe someone to do this tomorrow….heh)
10. Some awesome mixed cds of blissfully peaceful and relaxing music with happy notes so I can trick my brain into feeling relaxed and happy.
Welcome back!

Aw hon, I know exactly how you feel. Just be grateful L’s tiny enough that she won’t remember.

I was on modified bed rest from the last three months of pregnancy with the girls…my doctor called it “Princess Bed Rest”…but damn! I hated it! Nothing princessy about it, actually…and I didn’t have a baby running around either. Hang in there!
