What a boring week! I have spent 4 days in bed so far in a row and I am already going stir crazy!
But lucky me, Alyssa dropped off fun magazines to read and pizza and lasagna for the freezer, plus nail polish (even though I can't reach my swollen feet).
Then today, Stephanie dropped off a fun book of puzzles and a hang man video game! That was just the thing to exercise my brain today. It was so sweet of her to think of me like that.
And a shout out to Analisa for dropping off cupcakes and Amish Friendship bread even though it was last week--I'm still dreaming of those delicious cupcakes.
And thanks to Karen for all the cool baby clothes.
Thank you to all of you for reaching out to me through email, blog comments, texts and phone calls--Heather, Valerie, Jaime, Ashley, Alyssa, Analisa--I'm probably forgetting someone...you are all so sweet. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful group of friends. Before I lived in Washington, I never dreamed I would have so many friends who cared so much about me. You girls are so amazing and I love you all.
I have literally watched every episode of Heroes Seasons 1, 2 and 3, I'm caught up on Lost, The Office and The People's Court. I've eaten 2 bottles of Tums, drank 3 boxes of herbal tea, and spent all my Target gift cards at Target.com--all from the laptop in bed. I got cable in my bedroom this morning so now I am all set. I'm still bored but I'm trying to keep busy. I'm also doing work from bed, so that keeps me occupied.
Lucky me, also, my mom is here to take great care of me through Tuesday of next week. She's made breakfast, lunch and dinner (gourmet of course), cleaned the kitchen, taken care of my dog and helped Erik get groceries and pack my hospital bag just in case it's time to go.
It is very frustrating being stuck in bed. Think about all the things you ~have~ to do every day (excluding taking care of your kids) and imagine just sitting around in bed and not doing any of it. It's tough, let me tell you. Not to mention how physically annoying it is to only be able to lie down in bed 24/7. Not to complain too much. I know a lot of you have been through this already so I should stop whining.
I went to the doctor yesterday and my blood pressure was high and my urine was protein-ish so I'm going back in on Tuesday to see if I'm dilated. If not, we will probably discuss picking a date to induce the baby. I'm still hoping he comes early on his own but if not, I am excited about the idea that he will be born within the next 1 - 2 weeks either way. I can't imagine feeling like this for another 4 weeks. So there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Anyway thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, and support. I miss you! Just think, next time you see me I will be skinnier and I will be a mom!! Yay!!!! I bet my boobs will be way bigger too. :) haha.
