Bed rest ladies

What are you doing to entertain yourselves? I'm running out of tv I want to watch.

    Starting out I watched a lot of Netflix. Knitting. Reading the internet. Window shopping on Amazon for baby- setting up the registry before the shower, and planning out our completion coupon orders now.

    At the moment I'm catching up on my reading (4 books in the last week)- although I do have a Netflix show I'm watching when I get bored and want to move into the living room. 

    And I try to sleep whenever I can. I'm not worrying about day/night since a newborn isn't going to care about that anyway and if my pregsomnia lets up at 10am and I think its nap time I might just nap the entire day away.

    It's boring. Really really boring. But it's for a good cause.

    Watching a bunch of tv, shopping on the internet, and sleeping whenever I can. Yesterday I didn't take a nap since I've been having trouble sleeping at night. I can't go to sleep till 2am and then up at 8 but it still didn't help last night because I couldn't sleep till 2 with heartburn and restless leg!

    I napped today for about 2.5 hours so I figure I'll be up late surfing the internet again!

    I've been watching a lot of Netflix and Hulu.  I started a new cross stitch project.  I'm doing a group project with some moms from a facebook group, and we're all making pages for Quiet Books for our toddlers.  I'm making a page that I can hand sew from bed.  We're each making multiples of the same page and then we'll send pages to everyone else so we have a full book when we're done. 

    My H moved my desktop into the bedroom on my nightstand so I can do computer stuff while lying on my left side.  I've been designing some fabric patterns for Spoonflower.

    I'm very thankful I am on bed rest at home and not at the hospital but I've run out of good stuff to watch in Netflix.

    When I was on BR at home, what got me through it was shopping online for baby, reading lots of books, and playing video games (yep, I'm a nerd).

    I'd kill to get some PC gaming time in. My laptop died literally two weeks before I went on bed rest- logic board failure, 375$ to repair. So I decided to just migrate to the household server until the latest MacBook updates come out sometime this summer- and then get a nice fresh laptop.

    Household server isn't exactly something I can haul to bed with me. Nor is the Cinema Display wall mounted at my desk something I can really move. So I've been confined to my iPad and a Wii in the living room- and all of my favorite Wii games are party games that play best with 3-4 people :(

    Meanwhile DH is having a blast playing the new diablo3 expansion or eve or guild wars while I sit here in bed bored with plants vs zombies and angry birds. Baby better appreciate that mama had to give up her last 3 months of gaming without kids :(

    FWIW, Diablo has been super disappointing to me lately. Neverwinter Nights, Rift, and LoL FTW. If your DH has a laptop I'd swipe it.

    Netflix, reading, and catching up on making some online photo books. This is week 4 and I'm bored out of my mind!!!! Only 3 more to go before they take her out!
