Ohhh what fun...

Well the thing that I dreaded happening for the last few months has finally happened.

Bed rest.

That is right, for the next week I will be laying down and resting as much as possible.

Most would be happy for a guilt free week of relaxation but I must remind you of a few things.

1- I am 35 weeks pregnant which means that even laying down I can't breath.

2- My ribs hurt so bad on the right side I can only lay on my left.

3- Plus my nesting instinct is just out of control and all I want to do it clean, clean clean.

4- Then their is my little two-year old. He has been a trooper. It doesn't hurt that he gets to watch as much TV as he wants. That also means that all I watch is Mickey Mouse.

5- I think I can do stuff I shouldn't, like tidying up the house. So on top of all of his normal work Sean has to call and remind me to lay down all the time. He is being so great!

But all in all I am just grateful to have made it to 35 weeks without having to be on bed rest. Hopefully we make it at least one more week before she comes!

What would be really sad is if I am sitting here at 40 weeks begging her to come...
