I'm about 34 weeks along now...and my doctor has put me on "modified bedrest" as she is worried that i'll go into preterm labor with some pregnancy issues that I've come across lately.
as lazy as I am, you'd probably assume that I'd love this time off my feet and being relieved of most working, household, and motherly duties. don't get me wrong, i don't mind the excuse to relax, but my nesting instincts are kicking in and my need to purge and rid my house of all unnecessary furniture, clothing, and crap is definitely in high gear.
i think what's getting to me most is that i'm not able to take the kids out to play or make dinner for my family while i'm restricted to the couch & bed. luckily though, the kids are old enough to pick up after themselves, use the bathroom, feed themselves with snacks we keep on hand, and carry things around for me while brandon is at work. i still feel guilty when they're confined to our small living space day after day. but just yesterday i found this gem in our bookshelf that i totally forgot about and so perhaps i'll be able to use a bunch of the activities to keep nahe away from the tube, preoccupied and content while i'm stuck on my butt.
hopefully if i check out okay at my next prenatal appointment, my doc
can give me the green light to be back on my feet, up and running! because this is how i'm feeling these days...
