So, I have been sitting for 2 months. What's it like? Here are few things that bedrest has brought to me:
- hair that hasn't seen a hair dryer in 2 months
- make up only on doctor appointment days
- 3 meals a day in bed
- crumbs all over the bed
- a sore tail bone and hips
- Thanksgiving in a hospital
- a frozen turkey in my freezer
- Aidan's birthday in my bedroom
- skipping over Jack's birthday
- seeing my Christmas tree once
- Christmas on the couch
- my team singing carols to me outside my bedroom window
- eating other people's food...yum
- missing two of Gracyn's school performances
- visting friends and team mates
- my first communion in bed...hopefully my last
- close to 20 books read
- a TV for the bedroom...thanks Mom!
- a borrowed DVD player..thanks Crystal!
- watching British sitcoms over and over and over...but still enjoying it.
- the knowledge that I really did marry the right guy
- a new understanding of suffering and a faith that has grown
- a deeper understanding of God's character
- more ultrasounds than any person should ever have
- baby kicks!
- a laptop to blog with
- a baby boy in the palm of God's hand
- a peace that passes understanding

A lot of that doesn't sound bad at all! But I know you are itching to get up and feel productive...although you are being incredibly productive just sitting there. That baby is hard work!!
It is bad...unfortunately. Some of the stuff sounds fun but if you are uncomfortable 100% of the time, it's hard to enjoy. Anything longer than 1-2 days is just torture!
That makes me happy. Thanks for sharing.
