Bedrest

Hi Cris! I was put on restricted activity @20 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy.
I had to leave work at that point and Trevor had to continue going to the
sitter so that I could get real rest at home. When I was admitted to the
hospital at 29 weeks and put on strict bed rest (not toilet, shower etc.) I
thought I would go nuts. My first full day in hosp. was a Friday and I
didn't know how I would get through the weekend without the regular day-time
TV. By then I had become a soap junkie. As it was Trenton was delivered
early Sat. morning so I didn't have to cross that bridge. I didn't have it
nearly as bad as you but I have an inkling of what you went through.
However, like all you other mothers out there, I would gladly have spent
all nine months on my back for the benefit of my child. I hope that I get a
chance to do it again. Sick, aren't I.
