Bedrest Blows

I have to say that while the universe may be trying its damnedest to provide downtime for me to catchup on my homework, I am finding it extremely difficult to do anything but sleep, daydream about the baby, or grump. Why is it that when I'm busy, all I want in the world is time in bed and now that I have that, I just want to get up?!

Spoke with the on-call Dr. from the gyn office. Apparently it's normal for me to still be bleeding, but I have to stay in bed except for grabbing a glass of water or going to the bathroom. She even said no store trips. I'm really excited about the gyn appoint tomorrow with dr. simonson. Lance will get to see the baby and hopefully she will have a more exciting solution than bedrest to whatever my body is doing right now.

The dog is doing a good job keeping me company, hogging the bed and squashing my feet.

I'm having a hard time staying in today- I keep thinking about how many fancy costumes I wanted to make for the kids' recitals in january and how limited my teaching is going to be at circus class. I'm also a little worried about how involved I'm going to be capable to being with developing the script for the middle school drama class. I was really excited about that project and oh boy am i at the mercy of my body and my hormones. Apparently in about one or two months I'll get an energy surge, but until then, there's a lot of brain dead hanging out over here...

One of the pregnancy websites said to start taking pictures of my belly on a monthly basis. That seems both exciting, fun and horrifying at the same time. Why oh why did I gain 35 lbs since the wedding?!!! Ah well. I guess my body was just buckling down making things extra cozy over here for when the baby decided to come.

Blogs are weird because you're pretty much just talking to yourself. I hope that someday the baby will be interested in what it's mom was thinking while it was swimming around in her tummy.
