Day 60: A Valentine's Day on Bed Rest

We had a fun Valentine's Day even with me being on bed rest.  B woke up to the gifts J set out for him last night (Superhero washcloths, gum, and fruit snacks) and B gave us the Valentines he made for us.  J and I spent time talking, shopping for a few things on our baby registry, and working on the computer together this morning.  J also got us takeout for lunch, and then we went to B's school for his Valentine's Day party.  I know I already had my field trip this week, but since I didn't have my field trip last week, I figured a half an hour sitting in a chair after literally being dropped off in front of the classroom would be worth it for B's sake.  We had a nice Valentine's dinner of pizza and had cupcakes for dessert.  It was a nice Valentine's Day and me laying in bed was hardly a factor.  Being up and around more today and spending time with my family has me even more excited to have my bed rest sentence lifted on Monday.       

 

Day 20: Quotables

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."
