No motivation, so tired of sitting.....

ourkybaby

I've done really well with this whole hospital bed rest thing, I've been in here for 4 weeks and 2 days and today has just been the worst.

I can work from here, but I'm not even motivated to do that anymore, I just want out of here.....I feel like the travelocity gnome commercials where he hums the little song and is like "i gotta get out of here..."

hopefully it will pass and tomorrow will be better but I'm so tired and unmotivated from doing NOTHING for over a month.

At the most I have 28 more days to go, I want her to stay in as long as possible, but I hope these next few weeks move on quickly. 

I haven't been in the mood to read, but I may have to try again and I'm thinking about taking up knitting....I hear there's a good "how to" video on you tube.  I keep my blog updated but I'm even getting tired of looking at the bump nonstop!

Ok, I'll stop whinning, becasue I'm typically not a whiner, but good grief, this hospital bed rest stuff is for the birds!!

(((HUGS)))  Hang in there!  You are a super mommy to have gotten as far as you have and you can do it for 28 more days!  It is completely understandable to have a hard day- vent all you need to.  I have only been at this bedrest thing for 8 days (first 4 days in the hospital) and I feel like I could lose my mind already.  HUGE props to you for doing it over 4 weeks!  I can completely relate to the lack of motivation.  It's frustrating to have all day to get stuff done and then end up doing nothing, huh  Your little one is so thankful to you for being so patient and she is getting bigger and stronger everyday!

I feel ya! I have been on bedrest for 6 weeks but only in the hospital 3 different times. I'm here now and have been since Wednesday - they are inducing me this Wednesday though so I'm almost done with this. I can't imagine being in this room for 4 week or more and I'm sorry you have to be! I've been having a similar day today today where nothing is entertaining at all! And today I'm irritated because my nurses are neglecting me! I asked for clean bed clothes at 2 (my water broke and i'm leaking and my bed clothes are always wet, sorry i know tmi)...

I got a "teach yourself to knit" kit and have been knitting and it's fun and takes up some time. You should try it! Good luck and hang in there. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

I'm on week 8 here at home, and I did 16 weeks at home plus 5 in the hospital with DS1, so I feel your pain.  I wish I had something more encouraging to offer....but just know you're not alone.  Hang in there.

I was so there and still am some days I just want to jump out the window. The one thing that did help me in the hospital was to try and do a schedule. There are many times I said screw that, but at a certain point my DH and I had craft time and we decorated the room ie he brought in pics of us on our wonderful vacations with family and friends and we put them over top the ugly wall paper or the stupid directions or ugly painting they had in my room. That helped me for about a week, but it was something to keep me going. I did learn how to knit actually both of us did. My DH was at the hospital most days and every night he slept on an air mattress. I also blogged and wrote a list of all the things I would do when I got out of there.

 

Your right though bedrest is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, it is so lonely and no one understands. I love it when my friends would come to visit me in a pack and then talk about them all going out for dinner and drinks afterwards. I keep telling myself what is a couple of weeks when it comes to life, and the prize will be all worth it. I have lived the tragedy and want the success story.

 

Good luck you can do it, one day at a time!

Have someone get you the book "Roses" it's really hard to get into at first but then you won't be able to put it down!

Thanks everyone, I know there are several of us who are in the same situation or have been...some days it's just harder than others.

Perhaps it is the monday blahs....who knows, hopefully tomorrow will be better.  Hubby's out getting some various books for me now, hopefully tomorrow will be better.

At least my bejewled skills are improving : )
