I am so bored now that i'm on bedrest! I don't know what to do! The babies are always active, my half sister is in a really bad mood because she just got fired, my brother and his girlfriend are out of town, i'm sick all the time, have really bad heartburn, and my tummy keeps cramping up. And I have fourteen more weeks! How did you guys deal with your bedrest - being chained to your room and having to feel completely fat and useless?

That sucks im stuck at home all day cuz my hubby takes the car so if you wanna talk during the day im here. I always find online shopping fun even if im not buying ne thing just looking.And hey u no twins never actually make it to their due date so you really dont have 14 weeks left. But if those cramps get worse call the doctor cuz they cant come just yet. U gotta cook them for at least 8 more weeks so they are healthier.

Thanks. It's great to have someone to talk to, and I love everyone here.
I hope this isn't false labor again! Last time I went into false labor, I was put on bedrest! Gah!
I've been stressing over the fact that i'm getting bigger and bigger, and I hope that I don't go over eight months, but I definitely want them to cook for a little bit longer. As much as bedrest sucks, i'll do anything for my twins. :)

Man, bedrest is terrible. I went completely crazy. I slept a lot, played video games... Oh, and I got completely addicted to sudoku puzzles. If your haven't tried them yet, you really should. They'll take your mind off of stuff. I also got into a really crafty mood while I was laying around. I started reading craft books and making lots of stuff. It was a good time killer.

I know my sis in law really got into scrap booking her baby stuff...And like making pages to put her baby pix on when she had the baby. I know scrapbooking can be expensive but u don't need all the special stuff.. Like use magazine pictures, cut up wrapping paper, dollar store stuff is great too. Its just a suggestion... =)
