Bed Rest
OB said that i must have complete bed rest for a week.
Initially, my reaction was 'thank God, i can have all the rest that i need.'
Two days of bed rest made me anxious and begin to abhor the cbr. A WEEK!!! what shall i do in a week? i cannot just sit (or lie in bed) every day of the week. i must do something, or at least feel useful. i cannot clean the house or even wash the clothes. i realized that i could not stay in the house and not lift a finger. The only thing that prevented me from cleaning the house, or made me busy while in the house, was gift wrapping. And now that i have wrapped all those measly items (and they were really few since we were not able to complete our christmas shopping), i have become bored beyond means.
And one week is too long! Imagine all the parties that i would miss! The gifts that i would receive! And, do i still have a job when i return for work?
On second and better thought, it's better to miss all those parties and gifts, and be in between jobs (knock on wood), than lose my greatest christmas gift.

hey, bakit ka bedrested?
i've been there before (9 months pa kaming halos magkaniig ng kama) and it bored me to the point of kasungitan. but this sacrifice is all worth it, i tell you. as a mom, our instincts will tell us that the bed is better than anything if it's all for the sake of our little one.
ang ginawa ko lang, katabi ko laptop ko sa kama at chat galore ako, hehehe.
i'm sure you'll find something to amuse you during these times. i'll be praying for you :)
follow doctor's advice no matter how boring it could get.
i agree with mia, i'm sure you can find ways to amuse yourself.
take care :-)
