QOTWeekend: What have been the most challenging parts of being on bedrest so far?
Open Topic: What's on your mind?
Re: *** Weekend Bedrest Check-in ***
Hi ladies! Nothing new here, I see my OB on Monday.
We have been doing more work to get the kids' rooms ready and get everything all set up. Still feels like we have a long way to go, but we're making progress. I just need to figure out how to store and organize everything so it doesn't feel like such a mess.
I think we also settled on a name for the baby, so that is exciting. It's fun to refer to her by name instead of by "munchkin" (her nickname throughout the pregnancy so far).
QOTW: The most challenging thing about bed rest for me is actually staying on bed rest. I always end up doing too much and pushing myself too far. Most of the time I've been feeling pretty good, so I start doing some dishes, then I do some laundry, and I just don't stop until things start hurting. I just hate having my husband do everything and I get bored pretty easily. I'm not good at bed rest!
QOTW: Bedrest gets most difficult when there's lots of stuff to be done. Like with LO's room, house work, meals etc. I get so frustrated trying to explain to dh & my mom what needs to be done when I feel like it would be faster for me to just do it. I hate feeling useless... or worse like a burden.
