So you know when you take the day off or it's a cold, snowy Saturday and you just plan on hanging out on the sofa watching TV or reading or not really doing much of anything? You know how that sounds like a fun way to spend the day sometimes? Well, that's NOT what bedrest is like. When the doctor said I'd have to be on bedrest, I didn't think it would be so bad. And granted, it's not the absolute worst thing, but it's nothing like that lazy day you might envision.
Due to low amniotic fluid, I need to be on bedrest for the forseeable future. That means I'm not allowed to do much of anything at all. So...no cooking, no cleaning, no shopping, no going to work, no going outside. Honestly, the highlight of the day is taking a quick shower. Other than that, I need to pretty much be on my left side for the whole day (and night, too, for that matter).
Calvin has been so good about taking care of everything and making sure I'm set up either downstairs or upstairs before he goes to work. I really feel kinda bad about not being able to do anything, especially since I don't necessarily feel sick.
On the upside of all of this, I've got some books that have been waiting and some movies that haven't been watched. Now sounds like a good time to get some of those!
