Seriously!!! Bed Rest!!!

This is what my bedrest consists of…


Get 8 to 10 hours of sleep at night: This is easier said then done. I go to sleep all through the day but when its time to sleep at night I’m right there. Well, why am I getting up at 3 or 4 in the morning and can not go back to sleep.. The babies are killing me on this note. I go to sleep in the most comfortable position, and wake up with my tummy hurting and needing to find another comfortable position. I believe they are running me crazy already, and they are not here as of yet. Babies please let momma get some sleep, she needs it!!

Rest most of the day. Lie on your left side as much as possible: I do rest most of the day, its not an options. They put me right to sleep with no issue. Now the lying on my side part is what is hard. As I said before I can go to sleep on one side and wake up in the middle of the night hurting, because the babies decided they want to be on that side. I have to have a very good talk with them, its not going to work. Maybe I will call their father LOL.

You may get up to go to the bathroom and to take a shower: I would hope I can do this. I mean I have not life outside of keeping myself clean so the bathroom will be my favorite place in the house. I will do my hair, play in the make-up, and paint my nails.

You will need help with housekeeping, laundry, and grocery shopping: This would be a big help. Not having to cook or do much cleaning around the house is great. Everyone knows I have two dogs and I usually have to vacuum once a day to keep the hair from piling up. I have my mother and MIL here with me to help. An extra pair of hands never hurt.

Do not do any physical sports and exercises including walking: As busy as I am, I can’t do anything but sit in the bed. I’m watching tv, playing the Wii, PSP, and DS. I’m not happy about this. I’m having twins, I need to stay active so I don’t gain to much weight and I need to keep the little muscle I have. Walking though!!! Walking! I can’t walk are we serious? Damnit, how am I going to go to Target or shop for the babies… I guess internet shopping is my thing from now on. I want to walk my dogs and enjoy the weather before it gets really cold. This sucks but anything for the babies!

If you work outside the home, you will need to stop working and be on sick leave: Never thought I would be home at three months pregnant. I had plans to continue to work until January atleast. I’m lost for words as to how I’m home so soon. I mean I know why but dang, this is going to be challenging for me. I’m a work-aholic. I miss my staff and my branch . I have to find some really good hobbies, knitting, sewing, and maybe paint something. We will see how this plays out.

This is what my bedrest looks like and I have two people in this house to watch me full time. They might get on my last nerve sooner than I expect. But as I have been saying anything for my babies. It will all be better when I know what sex the babies are. I will be killing the check cards/credit cards mine and his.
