Bedrest

This is just a post to commemorate my three week period of bed rest - I don't know how other women pass the time, but here's how I passed mine.

I sewed a few burp cloths - not all of them. Now I wish I had sewn them all because little guy just started spitting up.This was my nest on the couch - I didn't sleep in my own bed for 2 months because of the intense itching (cholestasis). My room was too hot and I didn't sleep most nights anyway, so I didn't want to keep Colin awake.
I watched movies. Lots of movies.
I read the "Beastly" book in about 2 days. Then I rented the movie and watched it.
I watched my pastor on Ustream a lot - I felt a little like I was attending church, even if I couldn't be there in person.
Lots of Bible time.
Here's how I looked - I could not even wear my shirt right side out because I would itch like crazy and get a red rash. I am still struggling with the itching and will probably have to get retested to make sure nothing is wrong with my liver.
