I wish her a speedy recovery.<br /><br />I was on bedrest with the twins and mild bedrest with the third (while trying to care for 2 not even 2 year olds), and I could not WAIT to get my body back, to be able to get down on the floor to change a diaper and get back up again without a struggle. To now have to worry about high blood pressure. To be ME again. <br /><br />Thinking of your friend. :)Leigh Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233706048946454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991265338210422893.post-50382997786966353622011-08-20T20:05:46.901-05:002011-08-20T20:05:46.901-05:00I have always said that only those who have been o...I have always said that only those who have been on bed rest, understand. <br /><br />I have had a few debilitating health scares in my lifetime, the worst, a blood clot, and I vowed I would never take my health for granted again.

Thank God for broken bones and I will send my best wishes for her speedy recovery to the universe.<br /><br />On a more whiny note. I was on bed rest with my first daughter as apparently my placenta had decided to sit the last few weeks out. As I lay on my left side watching ubiquitous episodes of "A Baby Story" I heard suspicious rattling from the kitchen. My husband had chosen my weakest moment to reorganize my kitchen! I still miss my zebra salad tongs.

I've been giving a lot of thought to the idea of bedrest lately. Was told 2 weeks ago that I'd probably only have high-risk pregnancies. Not exactly what I expected to hear. So I'll probably have that in my future.
