Bedrest 2009 – Still Here On The Couch
Thursday, October 8, 2009 17:54Well, it’s been a week, and I’m still here hanging out on the couch, which is a very good thing. I’m 21 weeks pregnant today, which leaves 6 days until my follow up ultrasound, and 3 more weeks until we reach the point where the baby would be considered viable.
I’ve spent the week blogging, stressing out over the baby, and thinking about baby names all while trying to orchestrate our three kids’ lives from my spot on the couch. I’ve also had some time to chat on Twitter and put my feelers out about products and other opportunities that I think would make a good fit with the material I usually cover here.
Today, I finally got over the angst I have over all the “what ifs” we’re facing right now, and decided to move forward on a few projects for the baby. I cut out three small fleece soakers (for cloth diapering), and I cut out and taped together a few other patterns I’ve had bookmarked for fitted diapers and newborn fleece longies. I’m not sure when I’ll manage to actually sew any of this, but at least it’s a start.
Hopefully next week, we’ll have better sense of what is going on, and a plan to go along with it. In the meantime, I need to figure out whether the hospital has wifi . . .
