journal of the bed ridden

i'm going a little crazy just laying around so i thought i would try and do something a little productive. i have now made it through two and a half weeks of bed rest which is a week and a half longer then i lasted with jack. it is the little things that count. i'm now 29 weeks and 3 days along and things are staying stable. i feel like a ticking time bomb like at any moment my body is going to decide that it is done being pregnant and shut down, i guess that is what most women feel like at the end of their pregnancies. i'm trying to do as my mom says and think positively, tell myself that i can do this i can go another 6 or 7 weeks. if it weren't for my amazing mom and husband i don't know that i would be able to. i will lay on the couch or the bed or do whatever is required of me as long as this little boy can stay inside me and "cook" that much longer. at the beginning of this pregnancy my goal was to make it to 30 weeks and now i'm shooting for the stars and i'm hoping for 36 weeks. i hope my john, jack and my mom will hang in there with me.

You are such a trooper!!! You can do 36!!! What do you need cross word puzzles, magazines, scrapbooking stuff? Do you need all the blogs that I stock? I like the cross stiching idea, you can even do someing thing on a onesie.
Hang in there you are doing great!!!
