Reasons being on bed rest 97% of the week isn’t so bad

  1. I can eat burritos for breakfast and no one knows. Wait, shit now you all know I just had a burrito for breakfast, shhhh don’t tell mmmkay.
  2. My laundry has never been so low, I mean really one can wear the same jammies for like 3 days before they are deemed to crusty to keep wearing.
  3. I have complete control of the remote…which won’t stop leading me towards baby shows and food shows (which make me sad and hungry)
  4. Did I mention the burritos? I did? Yeah, so, shut up! I’m on bed rest you know, I’m allowed to be a certain amount of senile huh?
  5. NAPS
  6. Naps with out a toddler sitting on my head WHOAH imagine that!
  7. I get to read blogs all day long
  8. I can pee with the door open and no toddler watching me!!!!!!!!!
  9. I get to control the temperature in the house according to my pregnancy hot flashes
  10. Two burritos for breakfast..wait, I didn’t say two before, I mean, umm I am not a pig of course I only had one burrito for breakfast don’t be silly. Okay, but they were really small.
  11. I also may or may not have eaten a Recees for desert this morning at 8AM

Also some clarification. Although the doctor said I was free to work if I choose, I have not been removed from bed rest. My family feels that I still need to sit at home which means I’m allowed to work 2 days a week for two hours at a time each day. Also, the smallest things still seem to make me bleed. I made Rob dinner the other night and just bending down into the oven a couple times set me off bleeding. Other things cause bleeding too. Like going to the store, or going to Babies R Us to register. So needless to say I’m still sitting here on the dang couch.

  1. You keep your butt on that couch and take it easy!(and keep reading blogs. It\’s a very good way to pass the time)Mmmm…. burritos….If you\’re bored, go to Not Just Mamas and answer some questions for me.

  2. Okay…so you\’re on bedrest at 18 weeks….why?(Hey, I could probably scroll down & answer my own question…but I\’m a faster typer than reader, so I\’ll just ask the question, okay?)I told you this already, but I was on bedrest for 5 weeks & it was fun…for the first few days. then it sucked. So, I could not imagine being put on bedrest at 18 weeks.or sooner.

  3. okay have you discovered Runway Moms yet? not great but I always manage to cry…stinkin\’ hormones.I don\’t know what channel it\’s on, or even what time for that matter. I programmed it to tape all of them on my tivo so I\’m of no hope to tell you where you can find this delectable show, but it is another semi-mindless baby show.
