Andy did so good the first day (1/2 day really) and made it through Sunday morning, but then he was done. Not on purpose. I think women are so much better at taking care of people than men. Men cannot anticipate your needs so you end up asking and asking and asking. I hate asking for help. Funny thing is Andy has no problem with asking.
I had a little breakfast Sunday AM (Andy bought me a decaf coffee) then he left about 11am for the mall and Best Buy. He was gone about 3 hours. It's not that I really needed him, but I was on "strict bed rest" and I was getting hungry. I kinda thought he might bring something home, but nope. He got home and right away, started working on the computer. Finally around 3:15pm I said, "Aren't you getting hungry?" He says he is, but he wants to finish designing his "skin" for his Kindle he was ordering on our computer. Really? I've been waiting since 12:30 to eat. Maybe I should have just gotten up and made a sandwich or at some cereal, but I'm super protective of the babies growing in my uterus! We made it through the rest of the night.
Andy left early Monday morning. I made it through the rest of the "strict bed rest" which ended this afternoon. Now I'm just on "restricted activity"....no heavy lifting (10 lb or less), limited exercise. Which means no vacuuming or laundry! I talked to the nurse today about how limited I should be. She recommended waiting a week before returning to "normal activity" and resting as much as possible. So, I'm still trying to just sit. I feel like every time I walk, I'm holding a fish bowl full of water that I can't slosh around. Slow and careful. I hate when I sneeze or cough. I'll go out tomorrow for acupuncture and to pick-up some prescriptions...and maybe some decaf coffee!
My mom is coming next week!! I'm sure Andy will be very tired of pampering me by then and will need a respite. We are still eating the delicious Lasagna from our friends the Cioleks. My dear friend, Sara came over today with lunch and a movie (thank you, thank you, thank you!)! Tonight, Aunt Tricia is coming over with dinner and visiting! I'm definitely being taken care of! I have to give myself the Progesterone shot tonight. I'm a little worried about it, but I watched how to give yourself one in the leg (thank goodness for youtube). Doesn't look too bad...
