When on Bed Rest

When on bed rest... you try to keep yourself from going insane and getting too sore from laying in bed all day. I felt pretty crummy from Preeclampsia so I tended to sleep quite a bit. One of my favorite parts of the day was when the kids would come crawl in bed with me so snuggle, watch a show, or take a nap. I loved those moments I spent with each of them.  Actually getting to leave the house and go to the hospital was also on the top of my list. It was every couple of days and it broke up the monotony.  I had friends bring lunch over, do nails, and I even escaped out to get a pedicure. Not super smart, although I only walked from the car to the chair. I felt pretty bad for a couple of days after that. I even supervised a garage clean out. Anything to get a little fresh air. I made it 5 weeks on bed rest thanks to many many many people.
