hi lovelies!
well, I am in here for the long haul now too. Saw ob yesterday and he said that I just need to wrap my head around the fact that I need strict bedrest, in hospital, until the boys are born.
So, it is what it is, I suppose.
Azz, I too am wracking my mind for things to keep my occupied.
I am going to write up my own baby log book - you know, to write down nappies, feeds, sides, sleeps, moods, meds, etc. I know you can buy them, but it will give me something to do.
I'm also reading all my fave online newspapers, mags and blogs.
And I'm also writing a little weekly letter to these boys. DH takes a snap of my belly each week, and I write a sweet little note to go with it. It's so lovely actually.
I'm also writing list after list after list of stuff to do and having fun delegating tasks to family and friends.
I'm a bit sad that I won't be able to have my baby shower - I spent hours making beautiful invitations and decorations and organised the menu and even bought the champers! So, instead, I'll have a 'welcome to the world little ones' afternoon once we're all home and settled. That will be just as lovely.
It's DH's birthday on Sat, so I feel terrible that I can't do anything nice for him. I'll get someone to bring up some cake and a candle and we'll have a little room party.
Azz, have you been to visit the special care nursery? The midwives here are organising a time for DH and I to go and have a proper tour - they'll explain to us what all the equipment is and be able to show us some little ones of various gestational ages so we have more of an idea what to expect.
Bella, sounds like furious nesting to me!! Pls take is eeeaaassssyyyy. You don't want to overdo it. But I do agree with Azz too - there are just a few little things still to do, and I just presumed I had another 6 or so weeks to do them, but now I'll have to ask others to do it instead, which makes me feel bad. But do be careful - it really is a bit scary not knowing exactly what's happening, or when it's all going to start.
