Bed rest with a 2 year old

Ok, so some of you have been wondering where I have been. Well, at home resting of course. The doctor put me on bed rest. In her words: "I am putting you on bed rest meaning off your feet as much as you can with a 2 year old. " I have a bit of hypertension so they are being careful especially since I had the same thing with Izzy and it tends to get worse in subsequent pregnancies.

No worries. You will be happy to know that the bed rest seems to be working as my blood pressure has decreased greatly. I am also very lucky to have a very supportive and bossy husband.

The best part of bed rest: chilling with my daughter. I get to sit and watch Disney and color with Izzy most of the day. She has been very attentive and loves to cuddle lately. I get the feeling that she knows things are going to change soon.

The worse part: not being able to do housework. Don't get me wrong it isn't my favorite thing but I also don't like a messy/disorganized house. Court has been a great help with the everyday chores and I guess everything else will just have to wait a couple of months.
