It is safe to say that bed rest has me going a tinge stir crazy.
While I have no intention of going against doctor orders thereby
jeopardizing the baby, I am growing weary of staying still. My mind is
spinning with projects and ideas, and I find it infuriating that my body
cannot cooperate right now.
Having Scott
and Robby home with me this past week has certainly made the days
easier. I have enjoyed the constant company, and perhaps I was even a
little spoiled with the doting and fetching of drinks and snacks. I am
going to miss both of them when they return to their routines next week,
but hopefully my loneliness will be short-lived. Judging by the changes
in my body, I am hopeful that this little baby will be joining our
family soon!
Although I haven't been able
to physically accomplish a lot, I have found ways to be quasi-productive
towards checking off items on my various to-do lists. In short, I have
rediscovered the joys of internet shopping. I have come to believe that
this wonderful form of commerce was invented with my situation in mind. I
have been able to honor doctor orders to remain still while still
selecting and purchasing Robby's summer wardrobe. It may seem minor, but
at this point, each time I am able to accomplish anything I feel like a
victor.
Being stuck inside and unable to
engage in our typical traditions, it is hard to believe that Easter is
this Sunday. This year we will forgo the eggs hanging in the trees,
making the birdseed biscuits for our wild critters, and baking bunny car
cupcakes. If it wasn't for the egg themed tablecloth on my kitchen
table, there would be no indications of this holiday in our home this
year. It makes me feel sad, and guilty that we have failed to make this
holiday special for Robby. I know that he is oblivious, but I know that
the traditions are being shirked and it bothers me.
