So What Do I Do All Day?

This seems to be every one's question for me. Everyone seems very concerned about it. Honestly, I have plenty to do. The Docs and Nurses even told me that women come in here, expecting to be able to get a lot of things done, but they forget they are still growing a baby, and it gets exhausting. Pregnancy is exhausting, even when you spend all day in bed. That has surprised me a little. Sometimes I feel like I need to get things done so I can report to people, "I've read 22 books, knitted so many things, etc." Where the truth is, I've only read half a book. Often days I feel like turning on the tv and watching old Friends episodes, or watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix, or Chuck. I need to remember that its okay to completely waste my day away doing things that are nonproductive. Another huge time waster is the Internet. Between facebook, blogs and pinterest, there's plenty of things to read and help pass the time.

As you read this, you must be thinking that I am incredibly lazy. Honestly, that's what I think as I read it. I think this is another blessing from God. I am content. I don't feel anxious. I don't feel like I'm trapped here, and can't wait to get out. I understand the sacrifice that is required to keep this baby alive, and I'm doing everything in my power to do that. Every day that I stay in bed, gives my baby a better chance at surviving. So, I am content to sit here and do nothing.

However, the thing that makes or breaks a day is the visitors that come. It is so nice to have people come visit and talk with me. It helps the time pass quickly. I love hearing from others. Thank you to all those who have come to visit me.
