A was home today since it was Tuesday. E has camp this week, so he is entertained there. I was looking forward to some mommy-A time today. However, I ended up having a horrible reaction to my medication today and must have slept most of the day away. I felt horrible because A ended up watching three movies today (more or less). DH was going to come home around 2 PM, but the person who was supposed to come take over for him didn't show up until almost 4 PM. By that time he picked up E and went to get dinner.
I felt so bad. It was all I could do to make her lunch today without feeling like I was going to just pass out. We didn't play together at all, though she did cuddle with me for awhile while I slept. I must have taken three 90-minute naps along with about 3 or 4 15- to 20-minute dozes. That is what seems to happen lately when I get a bad reaction -- my body just feels so completed wasted, I get lightheaded, and the only thing I can do is sleep.
I can't wait until this pregnancy is done. I want to play with my daughter (and son) again.

I know that you feel bad about how bedrest affects your kids, but you shouldn't. So she watches videos all day-- it's not going to hurt her. A is a happy, bright girl who is learning a valuable lesson that life doesn't always go as you want it to, and that sometimes we have to do things we may not want to just because. She will forget about it, I promise. You are being the absolute best Mommy you can under the circumstances, which are out of your control. Hang in there!!!
