Baby Shower Planning

I picked the date for our baby shower its March 15th!!! How exciting, it'll be so nice to be up and about kinda for a little while during the shower and seeing people I won't have seen for a while. I tell ya what though, doing the registry has been very eventful, trying to figure out which items you want and or need, and the frilly extras that you may never use but are terribly cute that you have to have them anyway. I ordered the invitations on-line from tiny*prints, kinda expensive but totally cute I can't wait to get them in, now I just have to find all the address I need lol. My sister has been totally great about wanting to plan the details about the shower. I 'll have to load a picture of it once we have the shower. My sister and mom are brilliant in the decorating and events department. Our family does alot of events, which i kinda miss being a part of but soon enough I 'll be able to do them again.

Being on bed rest gives you alot of time to think, and last night after finishing the book I was reading that i started the day b4 because I couldn't sleep, I got to thinking about the baby and feeling him move around and then I realized how hungry I was but it was after 1 am so I just wanted to go to sleep and eat in the morning. Well that wasn't working so I had to think of something else to keep my mind off the crazy pregnant woman hunger. I had already been up and down the stairs twice yesterday so I knew I shouldn't go down and get food, which by the way is a terrible feeling that you could hurt your baby if you take to many steps in one day, it's a totally helpless feeling.
Luckily I have a fantastic supportive and loving husband who woke up to me sobbing feeling bad for myself cause I couldn't go get food or really do anything else for that matter. He not only got up and made me noodles in the middle of the night but he stayed up with me till I was tiered and was ready to go to bed even though he had to be up for work and be there by 7:00am. Hes my night in shinning armor and I love him to pieces. I can only hope and pray that every girl on bed rest has someone as wonderful as him in their lives to help them get through these trying weeks.
