Things I don't like about bed rest

Obviously, there are things I would not like about bed rest:
  • Feeling helpless and lazy: We are usually more active, so being confined to home is hard!
  • Not being able to get up and do something when I think of it
  • Getting comfortable. This is VERY hard to accomplish at times.
  • Not being able to get ready for our baby's arrival. Thankfully, I had already nested for months so there is not really anything that needs to be done.
  • Not making meals: Now I know I listed not making meals under this I like about bed rest, but it belongs under both. There are some days when I long to cook. For example, Hubs birthday, came and went without a special meal. Thankfully, Crazy Auntie bought a cake for me, so that was a nice surprise for him.

Overall though, I have to admit, bed rest has been a good thing for me. It has really helped with my breathing difficulties that I have had for the entire pregnancy. I also know that I would never have forced myself to slow down, which I am sure in 5 short weeks I will look back on my bed rest time with envy. :-)
