The long and short of bed rest...


A lot of people have asked, what exactly does one do while on bed rest?
To the clueless, bed rest does sound like a legitimate word for slacking
off. But that's one thing it definitely isn't.

Most days, I surf the net, watch t.v., read and pray... On bad days,
I just lie down.I literally have to pace myself for fear that too much
activity will affect the baby. Eat then lie down, pee then lie down,
shower then lie down, you get the picture. And the days just come
and go...

But I can't complain... This baby is a blessing! God's blessing to hubby
and I... You see, I have friends who're attempting to get pregnant...
I have friends who've had miscarriages... I have friends who've
spent a fortune on fertility treatments that have yet to be met
with success... This pregnancy may medically be “over budget”
but that's okay... So long as our baby is happy and healthy!

So, if you have a friend who's glum because they too are on bed rest,
tell her to hang in there! This too shall pass!

Happy 2009 to all!
