EngineerGirl- oh no! I'm so sorry youre on bedrest! But it sounds like that is the best thing for litting baby girl in there. Maybe your DH can go out to a craft store and pick up a cheesy paint by numbers or a rug/latch hook kit. Something you can do while resting and taking it easy. I'd also check out some TV shows on demand... Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, Switched at Birth... something easy and girlyYoure in my thoughts! How are you feeling now?
Day 2 1/2 of bedrest is going OK so far. I was pretty down last night and feeling like my body is a failure for not being able to carry this baby normally but my mom and friends are keeping me company throughout the day which helps. I've crochetted one baby hat (with a flower!) and one baby headband that I need to put a bow on yet and am starting in on my most ambitious project yet - a kimono shirt. I also caught up on The Office and have slept some, but could probably use more.
My medication is done (could only take it safely for 48 hours according to my OB) and now it's just a waiting game to see if my contractions totally stop. They haven't yet.
