Bed Rest Day 40 / Pregnancy Week 25!
March 16, 2010
Bed Rest Day 40 … It’s not as glamorous as it sounds.
Since being on bed rest, I’ve learned the importance of the pillow. There are 4 pillows I use throughout the day/night, and through trial and error, I have come up with the perfect pillow rotation based on my daily routine. Unfortunately, at night, Adam and his pillow have to share the bed with me and my pillows. Now add my growing belly, and there are far too many of us sharing this tiny space! See?? GLAMOROUS.
Oh yeah, and what about eating in bed? What could be more glamorous than that? I mean, who doesn’t like to sleep in the same place they eat? Better yet, what about all the crumbs I find stuck to my cheek when I get up for my 4th bathroom break at 2:30 in the morning? Oooh, and that surprise napkin I found under my pillow from last night’s dinner?? The strawberry stain on my favorite sheets from when I accidentally dropped it at lunch? Did I mention glamorous??
Probably the most glamorous thing about bed rest is my new fancy hairstyle. Some affectionately call it “bed head”. I like to call it “my own special nightmare”. Visitors: beware. It’s not pretty, and there’s literally nothing I can do about it. Anyone else hear Fergie singing “Glamorous” in their heads now? It’s going to be my theme song.
It’s been a long 40 days, but as we start making progress, and hitting these milestones, it makes a big difference! There are 3 more weeks ahead of us to get through the “critical” stage, and I’m looking forward to a celebration on Tuesday, April 6th … who’s with me??
It’s official: We’ve hit eggplant status.
For those of you that didn’t know (I didn’t know), the eggplant is actually a FRUIT, and the fruit is botanically classified as a berry. Thank you, Wikipedia.
Our berry that is an eggplant that is a little teeny baby boy is doing great! He’s kicking up a storm quite regularly, and those kicks are getting stronger and stronger!
Keep your fingers crossed for our weekly appointment on Thursday … will post again soon!
