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.
