Hello,
I'll keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. As for bedrest, get someone to get you some good magazines, books, and crossword puzzles to help pass the time. Also some good movies and soap operas never hurt =) We used a little fridge (like college kids use in dorms) to stock up on drinks and snacks so they could be right next to the couch where I spent my days and nights. As a former 3 time bedrester, I know how hard and boring it can be. I started bedrest at 25wks to the day with all 3 of mine. Just remember everytime you want to get up that each and every time you stand gravity pulls on the little one and gives you less of a chance to make it farther. That little one needs every minute it can in you.
Best wishes,
Tammy
