Day 25: Escaping (Well, Kind Of)

After 25 days of being cooped up in our apartment on bed rest (besides trips to the doctor or hospital) I broke out and came to my in-laws' house with B for the weekend.  Not only will it give me a much-needed change in venue and scenery, it will give J the chance to study and to not have to worry about us for at least a little while.  I'm glad to be here and have a change. 

 

Besides leaving the house, some thing I've missed over the last 25 days include:

• Picking up B and holding him
• Taking B to and from school
• Dates with J
• Going to Church
• Cooking meals
• Shopping (not online)
• Couponing
• Going outside
• Cleaning and doing dishes myself
• Driving and going somewhere besides to see a doctor
• Helping and playing with B (without having to lay down)
• Walking around
• A good night's sleep (after resting all day and having occasional contractions, sleep is hard to come by).

Bed rest definitely helps me appreciate the little , and giving up these things is a small price to p when we'll get a lifetime of happiness from a new baby.
