30w6d in Baby Stuff, Part 3

I don’t really like being on bed rest. All I’m doing is snacking and fretting about how much isn’t done that needs done.

I pushed myself yesterday even though I wasn’t supposed to, and I ended up being really sore and in some slight pain. I vowed to actually rest today… so I did three loads of laundry, but nothing else. I haven’t even done my homework, although I should. I’m just so tired.

Tomorrow we have my stepdaughter’s birthday party and I’m not sure how I’m going to get through that, because there’s no way I’ll be able to rest. It’s at a big arcade place with go-karts and bowling and my kids always need constant supervision when we’re there.

I just… I can’t just rest. I have to live my life? If this was my first kid, I could definitely be following directions. I am also supposed to take a bath everyday but I’ve been too exhausted. I took one last night for a few minutes but I was just very uncomfortable.

I don’t know, going to work is less physical work than being at home, so I feel like I’m totally okay to go back to work on Monday. Hopefully my fluid levels are fine at my appointment and my doctor will take me off of bedrest.
