Last day of week 1! Hooray! I made it through the first week! However, this room really doesn't belong to my hubby anymore...can you tell from the pic? It sounds/feels like I am in a hotel room...mini-fridge, coffee pot, food, paper....you know when you stay in a hotel room and all night you hear random noises and aren't sure where they are coming from? Maybe the heater going off, or your fridge making noises...yep that's now our room. My favorite part is when I do the same thing I do every night and knock EVERYTHING off my night stand with a pillow (yes, Jimmy shakes his head because I litterally do this every night!). The problem is, now we have everything, including the fridge, plugged in right next to my bedside so I somehow find a way to hit the plug and everything turns off! Doesn't work too great with a fridge and you find out in the morning it wasn't running all night and now things are no longer cold! Ick!
Also, Jimmy's pillow is now MY pillow. That's right, I need 3 pillows minimum now. We may have bought this one for him once upon a time, but he has now surendered it to me. Well, except at night when he actually sleeps in here, then I'm nice enough to give it back. But lucky him, he gets to put his head on a pillow at night that has been used for bodily comfort during the day. Does it get much better then that?
Oh, and I tried talking Jimmy into getting me a massage bed rest pillow....but I don't think he took me too seriously....maybe once we are into this further and he realizes his pillow isn't quite as nice as it once was, I'll be getting what I want. :)
Now let's talk about the cat. Yes, we have a cat. His name is "Zeus"...need I say more? He is the ruler of this house. But I'm not really sure what is going through his head as he sits in the doorway to my room just staring at me. I'm pretty sure that while I was gone all those times with Sasha, he most likely found a way on to my bed to sleep during the day. I'm pretty sure he is glaring at me for taking his space. Darn cat....I do not allow pets on my furniture! So I KNOW I have him figured out now! I have a feeling however that by the end of these 7 weeks he is going to win and will be laying in this bed with me. I mean come on, I'm all by myself, every day....who else am I going to talk to and boss around? I'll most likely invite him up on the bed, the yell at him and tell him to get off just so I feel like I am in control of SOMETHING! Doesn't this just sound like something I'd do?
Okay, now let's get to the "bathroom breaks". When you are 32 weeks pregnant like I am, bathroom breaks are WAY more often! I mean, I'm talking every 10 minutes or so. Please explain to me how I can be on bed rest when I need to get up every stinkin 10 minutes???? PLUS, I'm sitting here in bed with nothing to do so I drink 3x's as much water, which makes it even worse! It is cruel irony I tell you.
On the plus side of all of this, my butt is finally starting to settle into a groove in the bed. Yep, I have a groove now in the mattress. Pretty much fabulous. I know soon here it is going to start getting wider, and wider, and wider! How awesome is that?! Maybe I should consider shifting over to the middle of the bed and flattening it out a bit. Okay, I am doing my best to eat right while stuck here....veggies in the fridge, fruit, just yummy stuff! But really, how long is that going to last? I have 7 weeks of this and there's no way I can stand veggies and fruit alone for that long! I'd better just accept now that my butt print in the bed WILL get wider! ;)
All humor aside, I do appreciate even more the morning and evening cuddle time I get with my daughter. Just in the past week we have grown even closer as a family. Even though this is an extremely difficult time for us, we always find a way to grow closer and stronger as a family...this is what I love most about us. And when this baby comes, I look forward to growing even more. :)
