Feeling better, but need ideas for a small cheap bedrest project

I feel much better we upped my dose of Procardia after I called last night and the contractions are gone...I am now on strict strict bedrest, whatever that means, so I need more then just the internet and tv....any suggestions of good movies or tv series..I get Netflix, good books or craft projects?

If your hands are not swollen, then knitting or crocheting. Alternatively, scrap booking using cards from your baby shower and other baby notions.

I am swollen, but knitting would be fun...I have no idea how though I'm not a big scrapbooker since my mom and sister are....

Re: Feeling better, but need ideas for a small cheap bedrest project

I love crocheting.... here is a website for some free pattern ideas http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory.php also now is a good time to catch up on your baby books..

Re: Feeling better, but need ideas for a small cheap bedrest project

What about a stamping project to make thank you notes for after the baby comes? Look on StampinUp.com. You can order paper, stamps, stamp pads and look at ideas right from your cozy bed :) I love stamping, but got into it slowly last year or so...I love the end products and it will def. take up some of your time!!!

Were you looking for movie recommendations?

I love horror movies, but I am disturbed. Tell me a genre and I can come up with some good ones.

Re: Feeling better, but need ideas for a small cheap bedrest project

Stamps, and crocheting .....I'll look at those websites!!!! I like comedy and romance also any tv shows. I mine as well get my Netflix use I don't do horror or sci-fi. I heard Weeds is pretty good. I currently watch: Grey's, Private Practice, Brothers & Sister, Ghost Whisperer, House, Desperate Housewives, and a lot of HGT and Food Network.

If you like "crime/police shows" - there was a show on showtime called "The Wire" and it was awesome. DH and i rented the entire series on dvd and were completely addicted.

Have you tried any video games. I buy games that I like for DH's systems. Tetris is one of my favorite. Oh, and on-line at pogo games is a game called word whomp. It is very addicting. Or snood is a good one.
As for movies have you tried series like Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter? That is about six movies.
Books anything by David Sedaris will keep you entertained. He is very funny. I also am a big Hunter S Thompson fan.
Have you made a baby book yet? You can document your pregnancy with all the details for Also then if you guys have another baby you can use it for reference.

Are you in to the whole vampire thing? The series True Blood on HBO is good. Also, the Twilight book series was very good. I wasnt into the whole vampire thing but I loved these books. Entourage on HBO is also very funny.
