horizontal day 5...meet the parole board

last week 

i was handed this

and i accepted my fate

with little to no apprehension

the past week i've 

laid around,

read some books,

watched some tv

caught up on shreddingf

and 

for the most part

not broke the 1-2 hour rule 

that the docs set in front of me

today

i had a meeting with 

the parole board

aka the docs

i did my hair 

put on some makeup

even shaved my legs

and for anyone who's been pregnant 

you know shaving your legs in the third trimester 

is nothing less than impressive!

hoping to receive

  and i did!!!!!!

sorta

the doc said i could go back to work

but with restrictions

i had to continue to 

'take it easy'

so that marathon i was planning on running

yep not going to happen

seriously you think i wanna run a marathon?!?

no heavy lifting

no vigorous walking

no heavy cleaning

and 

i get to see their smiling faces

twice a week

to continue to monitor

i was elated!!! 

i went to the school 

told the kiddos

who greeted me with a surprise

and

       get well/take care cards!!!

love those kiddos!!!!

so monday i will go back to work

woohoo!!!

and 

take it a week at a time!

and take it easy as well!

  

horizontal...day 4

day four

let me tell you this being on bedrest

as modified as it is

is for the dogs

they seem to be doing better at resting than me

so what have i done

in day 2

and in day 3

to keep me busy

i know you are dying to know

because it is oh so exciting!

remember in 

{day one} 

i mentioned my hour or two of freedom was to be spent at a bible study?

well that didn't happen

maik decided i was better off in bed

and as i was leaning over 

to put on my boot

he jumped on the bed

and 

wham!

i am now modeling cover girl's new spring color

"lights out"
i am not a fan of the color 
please don't invest in it

so that brings us to day two

and 

i decide to spend my hour

grocery shopping

yep, exciting i know!!!

day three

this is the good stuff folks

i tackle my mountain of shredding

that i have put off for about a year now

the problem was i kept blowing fuses

another great thing about living oconus

and i am too cheap to buy a 220 shredder

but
alas

the shredding is done!!!

woohoo!!!!

i feel so accomplished

today

day 4

i am breaking free!

for an hour or two

promise

and having lunch with a dear friend

and a really smart one year old little girl

however, 

i may forget my watch!

 

 

horizontal....day one

so the time has come

we had a feeling it would happen

i dreaded it would happen

but 

alas it did

after friday's appointment

the doc 

has put me on 

"modified bedrest"

why you ask?

trust me i screamed this!!

too much amniotic fluid

too weak of cervix

and a really big baby

so what is 

"modified bedrest"

dr google

will give you a lot of information

but 

{what to expect}

has a great article

the nuts and bolts 

of it

per the doctor's orders were

"sleep in late, 

take lots of naps,

go to bed early

and 

only about an hour or two out of the house a day" 

my husband's response

"honey, if you played xbox that's some quality xbox time"

secretly i think he wanted the doc to give him 

modified bedrest orders

so he could "support" me

today 

is my first day unsupervised

since hubby is at work

and yes he has already called to check on me 

to make sure i'm following doctor's orders

to be trusted to stay off my feet

so what have i done?

because frankly this is a form of cruel and unusual punishment

first i read....

today's book

   an odd beginning but overall a good book

then...

since we all know how great AFN's line up is

i enjoyed 

a little grey's 

with o'malley!!

yes you heard me right

afn still plays grey's

with o'malley

and who doesn't love o'malley?!?

finally...

finished the day off

with 

a nice movie

i'm a sucker for romantic comedies

and jennifer lopez movies

my hour or two free from house arrest

will be spent at bible study

asking God for sanity for the next 7 weeks

friday

i go back to the doc

my hope is that they may revoke 

the "modified bedrest" 

order

but till then

i will follow doc's orders

enjoy some cuddle time with the pups

read some good books

watch some good movies

and

truly cherish the one to two hours of freedom a day
