While I don't know how easy it would be to audit a class and write papers as some people have suggested I do on bed rest, I have been trying to learn a new skill: crocheting. It's something I can do easily while laying down and my mother in law and You Tube videos have been teaching me how to do "the single crochet." Right now I'm working on a washcloth for B, and we'll go from there. But I'm hoping to make a baby hat or two before this little one comes. It's fun to learn something new and to keep busy. B went back to school today and I miss his company by my bedside already, but J has been here to talk to, and that's been nice. I think my key to bed rest is just letting myself relax and keeping busy and positive so that I don't worry myself. The baby and my cervix are still stable as of a quick doctor's appointment earlier, and that's all I can ask. Stable is good and bed rest is doable, especially when I have activities like crocheting to keep me busy.
