Bed rest???? AHHHHHHH

Yup, the title says it all! I have been put on modified bed rest! For every 30 minutes of activity I need to lay down for 1 hour.... oh boy this should be fun!
I have to drink 1 gallon of water a day, and do kick counts 3 times a day. If I feel sick or "different" then they want me to go in.
I have a repeat bio scan next Tuesday and a regular OB appointment then too.
I also got my 2nd blood draw back, and the Chicken Pox were positive! no duh!!!
So off to convince my kids that I can't be chasing them around. This should be interesting!
I also have to cancel a bunch of stuff that involves me driving more than 15 minutes each way! so that stinks!

Oh that royally sucks! Well make use of your time and read or crochet or something that will keep your hands/mind busy so that you won't go crazy! I could handle the sitting just probably not the no driving thing lol.

Ugh. Sorry about the bed rest. I hope it is restful for you though and not stressful.

Driving is considered activity!? OMG this sucks. Be careful!

Maybe some family can come and help with the big ones? Hang in there, girlie.
