Who is on Bedrest? How do you pass time?
I am getting so bored finally after 9 weeks in the hsopital. For those on bedrest how are you passing the time?
Any great sites to visit besides our lovelu Lifamilies. I am crossword puzzled and reading OUT.

I seriously have no idea how anybody does it. I've been on bedrest for half a day and I'm ready to start shooting from the rooftop. Bless you for doing it so long!

Re: Who is on Bedrest? How do you pass time?
I've been on bedrest for about 12 weeks now. I've read all the "Shopaholic" books... except "Shopaholic and Baby" which I will be starting now. I also recommend reading "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue". They are light and easy reads that you really get into.
I've also learned how to do embroidery thanks to my MIL. I've also started looking into learning baby sign language. I watch a lot of bad tv...which I don't love but it forces me to not focus on being so bored. I also spend a lot of time on the laptop... mostly working on my registry.
I've read some other ladies getting something like a Nintendo DS or some other portable game system.

Re: Who is on Bedrest? How do you pass time?
I am on bedrest too. I have been since week 34 and I am just starting week 38. I read shopaholic and baby and shoe addicts anonymous. I wanted light easy reading.
As for other things that have kept me occupied thus far...I have some friends that I instant message. My co-workers and I email each other. I am also on the phone. I will say the first 2 weeks I was on bed rest I was at a doctor appointment or in the hospital for tests every day so that made things easier. My family and my in laws have also come over to keep me company. My DH also comes home from work for lunch most days to keep me company for the 30 minutes or so he has. Thankfully we both (ok now just he) work 10 minutes from the house.
I have also been knitting a scarf for my brother.
I also nap cause I never get a full nights sleep.
As for websites that keep me occupied I like thenest.com, cnn.com, nytimes.com and LIF.

I cant believe it either. But I was so sick in the beginning I didnt have a chance to notice. Still sick now but this belly makes it so much harder.
