Somewhat free and counting the days til Myles can be born safely
33 weeks 3 days! I am counting the days! You will have to excuse any spelling errors or grammar errors. Plus I can’t justify this thing like I like to! So I got discharged yesterday with strict orders to bedrest and no stress. We are staying with his brother and that’s helping a lot. My grandma arrives today to take care of girls. I miss them like crazy! Its hard to be away from them. I will get to see them soon.
I think I am gonna attempt to knit a hat today! I will have to add pictures later. Should be interesting! I was contracting hard and fast last night but they stopped and I had a good nights sleep. So much better than the hospital! Well Stoney is off today to pick some stuff up for me at home. So I need to get a list together!
Thanks everyone. Also thank you to Kori from Princess Hairstyles for coming to visit. Thanks to the Crackdot moms including Kori for the gifts! They are so cute! I have to say I have been blessed!
Now the question? If you were put on bedrest how did you survive bedrest?
I have decided to keep an ongoing list of essential items that are necessary when you are put in a situation such as mine. Being on bedrest either in the hospital or somewhere near the hospital is not easy. None of my things are here. I had my hospital bag planned so that was easy but now what do I do now? I obviously will need a larger size of personal body care products! So as I am going through this, I will be putting together a post to help others out. This list will also help others that would like to send a bedridden mom a care basket! Trust me that is very much appreciated!
I’m so glad to hear that you’ve been discharged although having to wait it out away from home and on bed rest sounds like a tremendous challenge.
I wish you the best of luck and pray that you and Myles can stick it out!
Hugs!!!

Being on bedrest is no fun! I was on bedrest starting week 23, changing to STRICT bedrest at week 27. I will be praying for you and Myles to make it to the safety zone as stress free as possible. Being sent to bedrest an being told “no stress” was such an oxymoron to me. Yea, it sure is easy to stay stuck in bed and NOT stress or think about all of the things that you can’t be doing.
. I made it through my bedrest thanks to books and crafts. Lots of crafts. Esp. after my meds made it too hard to read.
NOT!
For me, I was really thankful for lotions, great hair conditioner, comfy socks, and crafty things.
I’m looking forward to seeing your list – a basket for Mums on bedrest is such a great idea!
I’m so glad you were able to leave the hospital but being on bedrest really doesn’t sound like much fun.
Hey, we have a whole bunch of DVD’s at my house because my hubby is addicted to movies lol. If you want to borrow a flick let me know!! I can be your personal video store.

Hang in there !!!!!! You’re almost there!!! I’m happy for you!!!(and family)
I feel so bad for you hun, I can’t even imagine how hard bed rest must be. Knowing how type A I am, I wouldn’t survive it. If nothing else, there’s always twitter to keep you slightly entertained.
