I'm sooooo bored!

[junipermuse]

Due to a high blood pressure reading at the Docs on Thursday, I have been told to stay off my feet until Tuesday. I'm going out of my mind with boredom. I've already read and reread all my books on delivery. There is nothing to watch on TV. (I really don't like to watch it much anyway). There's so much to do to get ready for the baby, put it all requires being on my feet. The house is a disaster. There is absolutely no clean laundry. Grocery shopping needs to be done. And my husband has been working 24/7 on a project for work so it will be finished in time for the baby. I'm lonely, bored, and gianormous. I am so done being pregnant. I don't think I can take another week of sitting and doing nothing. I just wish the baby would come today. I'm feeling very :

So sorry you're feeling bad and having to stay in bed when there is so much to be done. But take a rest - that baby will be here befor you know it. And when you're madly in love with the newborn in your arms, who cares what the house looks like. Take good care of yourself.

I know it is impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Can your hubby pick up some DVD miniseries or tv show for you to watch like Lost or Desparate Housewives? I'm not much of a tv fan, but I find it so much easier to watch episodes back to back. Plus, it can take up a lot of time.

Ugh... That's hard! I was on limited activity the last two weeks of my pregnancy with DD because of high blood pressure. We had no cable, only two channels sort of came in. I think I read every book in the house, I was SO glad to finally be able to get up! There is nothing worse than having the urge to nest and get ready but not be able to do anything! Hopefully the next few days will go by quickly... And after you DO have the baby, you will be wishing you had enjoyed these last few days of peace and quiet, sitting and resting undisturbed! (I know, easier said than done!)

Thanks for the encouragement. I ended up sneaking out for about an hour to go to the book store. My sister gave me a giftcard for christmas, I used that, and now at least I have some fresh reading material. Just getting out of the house for a short time totally helped me feel better, so I'm glad I did that. Also my mom said she would come up and keep me company tomorrow, so maybe she will help with some of the housework. If not at least I won't be as bored with someone to hang out with. And I suppose each day that passes, I am one day closer to the arrival of my new babe.
