How To Handle 10 Weeks Of Bed Rest

It all started on Tuesday the Nov.17Th. I just came home from being in the hospital in Boston for the weekend. I started my day like another day,waking up at 6am to wake up my daughter for school. Then it all started I started to bleed again. So I just laid down and took it easy for awhile. But it was not stopping. So my partner called the doctor and told them what is going on. They said to go to the hospital. So I started to get dressed. But all of a sudden I started bleed more. So my partner just called 911 and they took me to the hospital in an ambulance. My partner and I thought we would be going back to Boston. But they checked me out and sent me home. Now I'm on total bed rest til the baby is born.  So now here comes the big question. How to handle 10 weeks of bed rest. so lets see I'm writing alot of more hubs. I read books plus I'm in college,doing online course. So I have homework. then I do latch hook which I have alot of kits that I can finish. I go on the computer. So yes It can be hard on bed rest. I do have things to keep me busy. The hardest thing is that I can't go outside. I love to go for walks alot with my partner. There is a park up the street. we use to walk up there and walk around there. We even have picnics up there too. Not anymore. I sit on the couch and look out and wish I was out there. It makes me sad. but I know it's for the safety of the baby and me. My daughter tries to spend sometime with me. She tries to make me laugh. I can still help her with her homework. Some people think when there is a family member on bed rest. It effects the whole family, For instances. My partner has been here from Florida,for six months within the six months he has been looking for a job. Now that is on hold. He has to be at home to make sure I'm ok. Plus to take care of me.  He has to cook me breakfast and lunch. He already cooks dinner. I use to help with laundry, not anymore. I can't even clean my house. My partner and my daughter does that now. Then for food shopping my parnter is on his own for that. But I'm not worried he is a good shopper. Even Christmas shopping I can't even do that. I guess I will be ordering online and just do what I can. My daughter will just have to understand. All I can do is just rest rest rest and more rest. Take a shower but I need to have someone in the shower with me. Plus going to my doctors appointment will be a problem. Recently I changed over from being a Catholic to a Christian. My partner and I went on the Internet. We started to order booklets about Christian religion. So I can't wait til they come in,so I can start reading them. After the baby is born I will be going to church and ask to be saved and Baptised. But for right now I listen to Christian Music plus watch Joel Osteen on TV on Sunday morning. Or on the Internet too. So ya its a bummer being on bed rest for 10 weeks. So I guess that is how I handle 10 weeks of bed rest. I know at times I will get frustrated. I probably will get on my partners and my daughters nerves. But one thing is that they know what I'm going through. So I hope they will be understanding.
