Day in the life...bed rest edition

So I see a lot of these posts floating around and really what else do I have to do right now.

Wednesday January 16th...

7:05am...Brendan wakes me up early so he can do his breathing treatment and watch Sportscenter. I roll and try to get up. This results in a contraction/full bladder combo. Welcome 34 weeks!

7:25am...Treatment done and Jason is up. The boys get ready for the day and I go lay back down for a few minutes. Tonight is Jason's late night so Once he leaves it is all me until 9pm.

7:45am...Brendan is done with breakfast and dressed. We get his backpack ready and he plays for a few minutes.

7:55am...Lila is up now. She goes potty and asks Brendan 20 questions while he brushes his hair and teeth. He is slightly annoyed. I don't blame him.

8:00am...Lila asks to watch a movie and picks out a Little Einstein farm animal DVD.

8:10am...Jason and Brendan leave for the bus stop. Lila and I snuggle on couch.

8:25am...I get up to make breakfast. Pb toast and banana for Lila and pb bagel, yogurt, and other half of banana for me. Plus coffee because I like to think it gives me that morning boost.

8:45am...Lila still eating and watching Dora

8:50am...Lila decides she wants to cuddle with me in an attempt to eat my food.

9:00-11:00am...We watch the woodpecker out our front window, we play games on the iPad, we put stickers on one another, we watch Caillou, we play doctor, Lila reads me a story, and Jason calls on his way in between jobs.

11:20am...baby has hiccups and we watch my belly bounce. Baby then starts moving and jabbing at the same time. Makes for an interesting shaped bump. Baby must be comfortable now. Shifting ceases.

11:30am...Lila being a mommy because all I do is text?

11:35am...our little woodpecker friend is back and I am able to get a picture of him to show Brendan.

12:00pm-1:20pm...I fixed lunch for us and Lila watched Caillou and I read. After lunch Lila got dressed and we played Dora match before rest time. Our little woodpecker friend came back and we watched him for a few minutes.

1:30-4:00pm...got Lila down for nap and can now sit and not move for awhile. Which is what I am supposed to be doing but not always possible with a 2 year old. I check emails, play Words with Friends, and message back and forth with a friend. She also is a preemie mom and had a very scary and difficult first pregnancy. She is expecting their second and we have been sharing stories and advice with one another the last few days. I finally decide to take a shower and Lila decides to not take a nap. She also waits until I am in shower to yell and cry from her room. Early bedtime for her tonight! The baby decides to push its bum up into my ribcage. This is comfortable. I spend a few minutes trying to push it back down.

4:00-5:00pm...we drive to the bus stop for our afternoon outing. I call my mom and we chat until the bus comes. We get home with Brendan and we work on his math homework and then he is allowed to play on his Kindle. Lila and I read the library book he brought home and we notice the woodpecker is back and Brendan gets to see him.

Notice how they both have to sit right next to me:). Glad they love me so much!

5:30pm... Baby causing some discomfort still and really need to get these kids some dinner.


6:00pm-7:00pm...Dinner made. Brendan and Lila both helped. I start feeling cramps and a lot of pressure. I lay on the couch while the kids eat and this goes on about 45 minutes. I pray it stops and try to relax. Eventually it lessens. Thank goodness!

7:30-820pm...Get Lila ready for bed. She thinks it is funny to be goofy while changing. I sit and patiently wait for her to try and get herself dressed. Finally she is in bed and then Brendan and I do his reading homework and I eat my dinner while he watches college basketball.

8:30 and on...Brendan in bed and now I can rest on the couch for the rest of the evening. Ahhhh! Maybe with a treat too...
