| forced indolence, day five |
| 11.15.05 (6:24 am) [edit] |
Oh, my. I'm turning to pudding. The contractions are beginning to heat up again -- and hurt more -- but they're still not consistent enough to warrant me calling a doctor. Wouldn't you think the excuse to lie around like a lox all day would be delightful? Just think -- you're not allowed to work, clean anything, really, other than your own body, or do any lifting. But nobody's paying me to lie around like this, and every day I'm off before the pregnancy shortens my leave for after it. (Unless I take more unpaid time off.) It's all quite stressful. I think I'll take a nap. While I do, please enjoy two funny things that have been sent my way: Deep Thoughts - which is your favorite? Here's mine, courtesy of my friend Terri, who remembered..."If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy." And because nobody else on the planet could be this stupid, there are the Top 30 Facts About Vin Diesel. My favorite, I think, is "It takes 14 puppeteers to make Vin Diesel smile, but only 2 to make him destroy an orphanage." |

*hug* it's frustrating to be forced to lie around, it's far more fun when it's optional :)
It IS short term, and soon you'll be running around more than you want - so please let your mind and body rest even if you're not quite asleep.

Nope. Nothing popped. I'm just a big ol' pregnant blob. With a nasty cold.

hi! i came to check your blog because we share an opinion on another blog [about medicare Rx], but now i want to send chocolate and funny mysteries to ease the enforced bedrest.
my "baby" child is now 16, but she was always eager and impatient -- after some early scares, i first went into labor 5 weeks early, and she arrived about 4 weeks ahead of schedule. she is healthy, amazing, smart, and infuriating, and i wouldn't trade her for anything. ever.
but it is hell being on bedrest.
