I'm trying to make Sundays a little different than other days, so while J and B are at Church, I watch Conference talks and read scriptures. Honestly though, one day of bed rest is pretty much like another (unless of course I decide to go into preterm labor, see the doctor, or my husband and son have something exciting going on). But I'd rather things be quiet around here in regards to bed rest, that's for sure. So because today was pretty uneventful (thankfully), I decided to memorialize some quotes from the past week or two.
J: "You're the only person I know who could get bruised on bed rest."
Me: "Besides maybe my mother."
B playing with his new Bristle Blocks which he'd shaped into a phone: "No, I can't right now. I'm having contractions.". (I wonder where he got that from?).
B, last Monday morning when he called me at the hospital after sleeping in our bed with J: "Guess what, when Daddy woke up, I had my feet in his mouth. That's so silly."
J: "No, that's gross."
Me: "I told you that you move around too much when you sleep in our bed."
B: "No, I don't."
Nurse, when trying to get Baby Boy's heartbeat on the monitor: "Your baby is a worm. I mean he's really wiggly. I mean he's really moving around in there. Sorry I fumbled that. I hope you're not offended."
(Not at all. I'm just glad he's active).
B: "Mom, can't you go back to the hospital so I can keep sleeping in your bed with Daddy?"
B: "I didn't sleep a wink."
J: "You didn't sleep well, son?"
B: No, that means I slept good; I didn't open my eyes at all."
B, on Christmas Eve after praying that "everyone can go to sleep so Santa can come," came out and told me and J to go to bed and said, "Don't you want Santa to come?"
B, when a friend brought us dinner. "I don't know why someone would just bring us butter and crackers. " There was chili in the butter tub.
Mother-in-law: "I have to clip my hair back."
Me: "What? You have to clip your hairy back?"
MIL clarified
Me: "Oh good, I was getting grossed out there for a second." (Lots of laughter to follow).
B: "Mom, are you ever going to make dinner again?"
B, talking to Grandma on phone: "Mom was pretty good at laying down today."
Some funny and cute stuff. I was really laughing as I read these. Some of them wouldn't have been said had you not been in the situatuion you are in... ie the contractions, the meals dropped off, etc. Keep hanging in there.
ReplyDeleteHang in there girl! I admire you, I was studying for boards for a few hours in bed this afternoon and I was so sore. That's when I thought of you. hope and pray that time passes quickly for you! Love ya!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so great, c'mon baby, 34 weeks! You can make it!
ReplyDeleteWhat can we do to entertain you? Need any book recommendations? We could tell jokes? Send you some magazine subscriptions? I seriously can't think of anything more boring than bed rest! Hang in there! And know there are many people praying for you and that sweet baby.
ReplyDeleteBrittney, while a joke ring sounds intriguing, I think I have enough magazines, books, and movies to keep me going. J goes to the library for me every week and the tablet I'm borrowing from my father-in-law definitely helps to keep me busy. Thanks for thinking about me though.
