any and all recommendations to pass the time would be most appreciated!?

So glad you're ok! Sorry about the bed rest though- rent the entire Gilmore Girls set- that'll take up some time. Also, I recommend reading the 13th Tale by Diane Sutterfield. If you like Wuthering Heights, you'll love that book. Anyway, keep still and try not to go nuts- very happy you and bebe are all right.
Glad all is ok! I've been on bedrest since week 16 (so 2.5 months now). I spend a lot of time watching TV shows on DVD (just finished seasons 1-10 of Friends, now on Sex and the City, also watch a lot of CSI), reading, knitting and wasting time on the bump and facebook. It's not that bad.
I missed your earlier post(s?), but I am glad everythig is going ot be OK!
Do you knit? That's always my rec for bordem in the house! Also, if you're at all interested in natural childbirth or WHY we have so many medical interventions right now, I'd suggest the book "Pushed". I love it so far!
thanks everyone for the suggestions! i shall try everything!
and of course, all i can think of right now is that the dishes need washing, laundry needs to be done, furniture dusted...and i have to trust DH to do it for a while. *shiver* i can see it now...socks on the floor, used glasses and lens caps on every surface. he is being a dear though - he plopped me down and tuned in hulu.com to catch up on some of my guilty pleasures (ie. hell's kitchen is one of them). i wuve him...yes, socks and all.??

Good to hear things are working out alright. I would definitely recommend getting episodes of DVDs and also the Twilight books, if you haven't already read them.
I'm glad that everything is ok. I've been on bedrest twice already. Thank goodness for wireless internet. I was able to nest and look at different things. I watched some movies. Had a bunch of books. And I had company. MH travels and when he is home works late, I went to my parent's house so I was around people and wasn't by myself so much. That helped a lot. Another poster recommended the book "The Thirteenth Tale" and I second that recommendation. It was a great book and you will get wrapped up in and the hours will fly by.

I'm glad you are better and hope bedrest doesn't bore you too much!
Scrapbooking? I have been scrapbooking the baby book. I enjoy it!
I just saw your post and posted to see if anyone knew if you were ok! I am glad you are. Sorry about the bedrest but glad you and the baby are ok.
I worked on a pregnancy scrapbook when I was on bedrest with #1. And ordered a lot of movies.

I didn't see your OP but I'm glad to hear you and your baby are ok.
Scrapbooking is always a good way to pass the time, or I usually rent seasons of TV shows I've heard are good but never have the time to watch.
