well, i'm on strict bedrest until further notice. 33 wks today. happy valentines day to me! i called in sick today because i was feeling awful. 2 hrs later i got the call from the nurse with the orders. i can only get up to use the bathroom. this is unreal. my ob is out until tomorrow. i have many questions still.

you all better post really exciting things in the weeks to come so that i may not go insane staying inside all this time. got that?

Oh no! What was the reason? Was it your urine study/BP/pre-e? I'm so sorry.

Aw, man!

On the plus side, you can get a lot of crocheting done while in bed! :D

if only I could crochet! I can knit, albeit very crappily. Now would be the time to get better at it though :)

Well see, you should have thought about crocheting before you got put on bedrest! :P

I think you should have your man bring you some soft soft yarn and you should make a baby sweater or soakers or something. It'll give you something to do, and you can listen to music or watch movies while you're doing it - it's very relaxing.

But do what's best for the baby & take care of yourself!

I'm really sorry!!

But as a woman who went into preterm labor at 33w 3days both times, once resulting in a preemie (33w, 5 days), and the other with an additional 6 weeks of bedrest, I will tell you the bedrest is the lesser of the stressors.

But I'm sorry to hear it. If you have questions or want some moral support or whatever, let me know. And in the meantime, tell him to simmer down and stay put for a while longer.

I'm sorry!
On the plus side, you can read all of Kellymom ;)
Knit some fake babylegs?
Talk to me on AIM if you want! I bet you can guess the name.

kellymom is at the top of my reading list. That site usually overwhelms me so I'm looking forward to having the time to tackle it.

(I emailed you too!)

thanks di. I feel fine, that's the odd part- like I should be able to do tons of housework and paint the nursery but at this point I'm too terrified of him coming early to risk anything :)

We will do our best to entertain!

So...you were put on bedrest but given no instructions regarding what you can/can't do? Damn doctors.

I was wondering about you yesterday, and about how the protein test went. Did they find protein? Or are they just playing it safe?

I painted my nails in bed yesterday, that was nice. I also applied face moisturizer for the 1st time in months! So if anything, I should come out of this looking more well kept than usual :) I just wish I could go out and buy every girly, good smelling body product out there!

Erin, Great to hear from you. Congratulations. At 3.5 weeks old this little one has us wrapped around his finger. Just amazing. Having an infant and trying to get things done is near to impossible. We would like to hear about your adventure as it unfolds. We were just talking about you the other day and how much we like you. Hi to your husband. -Jenny and Blake and July
