Rebel without a cause
I had to get out of the house. My poor husband had to listen to a hormone driven meltdown the other night about how I was falling into an ugly funk because of this damned bed rest. I don’t understand how it can be good for anyone physically or mentally unless it is absolutely necessary (remember it is just a precaution in my case). I couldn’t spend one more day staring at my 3 living room walls (open floor plan precludes a 4th wall) from my couch. So out we went into the the big world today. We stopped at the farmer’s market and discovered it is rather sad at this time of year. The produce was severely lacking and due to remodeling the cool ethic lunch counters were small in number. Then we drove around an area we hadn’t previously explored – we are always looking for areas to buy a house when the time comes (we like to pretend that our house in Pittsburgh might actually sell someday considering we are practically giving it away now). Later we went out for dinner. It felt good…it felt normal to get out of the house. I’m 11 weeks tomorrow and I just can’t sit on my butt any longer. I will take it easy and if there are any indications of a problem I will immediately plant my ass back on the couch.
Sabrina has too many toys after Christmas. I need to weed through them. I was going to donate the toys she seems to be done with but since we appear to be working on #2, I will have to put them away for her little brother or sister (someone asked…yes in my gut I am guessing a boy but that might just be because that is what we would like this time around…of course we will be happy with a healthy little girl too). Sabrina has been having some trouble adjusting to the dimensions of our new (much larger) coffee table. She keeps bumping her head. We figure the learning curve has to kick in soon.
Look how long her hair is getting!
I can see how you would have to get out. I would go nuts. I would also think Sabrina would start to go mad too. I know Reese needs changes in scenery a lot. Thier toys are only fun for just so long.
Take it easy!
yeah, I have heard similar info about the bedrest for a precautionary situation. Sounds like you are using common sense and won’t over do it.
What a bummer you house hasn’t sold! The market sucks right now.
Yeah – I’m with you – I’d have to get out also.
And I’m also there with you on the toys. In fact, we still have half of Alex’s Christmas presents down in the basement as we don’t have room for them up here. I figure I’ll bring them up every now and then from now until his birthday.
The housing market in PA isn’t having its finest moment which totally sucks! Hopefully it sells soon!
I’m soo glad you got to get out into the “real” world!!!
I echo soltana.
but I, too, am a rebel Dottie.
I’m so glad you got out!! Way to go!!
Most days I’d like nothing better than to NOT leave the house. But if someone told me I couldn’t? I’d hate that.
Just wanted you to know that my Dr didnt put me on bedrest b/c he said I would just sit and worry about losing the baby and that the stress would just add to the risk. BTW, I was bleeding very heavy at 12 weeks. I did take it easy on myself and took a couple of days to sit on the couch but then I just continued with my life….back to work and everything. My daughter was born on her due date perfectly healthy.
Listen to your Drs, listen to your body, you will know what to do!
Love sabrina’s hair…reminds me of my Anna’s!!!! Found some decent size claw clips (the tiny ones dont stay in) that work GREAT! Theya re just about an inch long. Quick to put in and actually stay there for more than 30 seconds!
