I am so frustrated. I hate hearing the baby fussing from the other room and knowing that I can't get up and respond. I hate that I have to call someone in from the other room to bend over and take a piece of paper out of his mouth, or fix Nadi-B a snack... or all the other zillion little things I'm used to doing without thinking.

Terri can sympathize! Of course, she can get up if she wants, but she's spending up to 20 hours a day in bed right now. Sucks. Hugs and sympathies to you. Hope you have lots of craft projects and books!

is a mom who was on bed rest with her ninth. So she's probably a little too old for you. LOL Anyway. She was on bedrest last fall and blogged about it - not a totally similar situation as she had older kids to help, but... It's a long blog, she's been at it for several years.
Love you! Prayers for you and yours.
