Well we managed to make it through our first week together on bed rest. I can't lie though it was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. I think everyone has this pre-conceived idea that bed rest is awesome. I mean why wouldn't it be right. No work, you get to be in bed all day, watch endless episodes of anything on Netflix, check Facebook all day without worry. Sounds awesome. It wasn't. I was ok the first day, mostly because I still really didn't feel great and it was kind of nice to just try and relax. Laying in bed all day though is not as comfy as it sounds. Mommy's back actually started hurting worse, and I really wasn't getting any extra sleep at all. I almost felt more exhausted by the end of each day. I think the thing that made it worse was just feeling like all the walls were slowly closing in on me. Going from being fairly active {even for a pregnant lady} to being confined to the bed was quite a shock. Then add on top of it that Daddy ended up having quite a hectic week planned. I think we saw him maybe like 5 hours all week. {Obviously not counting during the middle of the night while he was snoring away} It just was really hard. I felt really alone and began to really get I guess a little depressed. By Thursday night I did end up crying myself to sleep because I really just think it all hit me and it was the only thing I could do. Friday was a new day though. I convinced myself that I could at least get out of the house for a little while. I went and met Daddy and his boss for lunch. That hour out of the house was so nice. As little as it was it was literally a breath of fresh air. No pun intended. That night "Auntie" Amanda came over. It was so nice to finally see someone from the outside world. Someone to talk to, about ANYTHING. She even brought you lots of goodies :) We ended up having an ok weekend. Jamie and Sam came by quick for a little visit, mommy got out of the house again for a little visit over at Ryan and Vicky's thanks to a little chauffeur assistance from Jamie while Daddy was gone. Again even just the shortest amounts of time being out of the house were really nice.
Sunday was Daddy's first "kind of" Father's Day. We got him a couple of cards, a new golf shirt and a breakfast down at his favorite little place in Dana Point, RJ's Cafe. When we got back he even put your car seat in the car. We're officially ready!!
A little later in the day we headed out to see Grandpa Gary and Grandma Laurie for a little while. We didn't end up getting to stay too long and had to cancel going out to dinner with them because mommy started feeling kind of crappy again. I started getting contractions about 5 minutes apart again and these ones were worse than last week. We decided it was better if we headed home. They ended up lasting about two and a half hours! I was really close to telling Daddy maybe we should go to the hospital again. Luckily they calmed down so we didn't go. It was just an intense few hours.
Yesterday we checked in with Mommy's doctor again. She did the test on me again to see if we're going to have any preterm labor and we're just waiting to hear back still on that. Hopefully it's negative again. She did tell me though that I officially will not be going back to work. It's just better if we chill at home now until you're ready to come. So now we're just hanging out again, you, me and your fur brother. I really think he is enjoying having his mom home with him during the day. Although he still is just a lazy bum, just now he gets to be out on the patio on his couch outside to sleep away the day instead of inside.
That's about all for now.
Mommy Loves you...
