"bed rest" Day 1

At least it's only for a few days! I feel totally antsy and hate sitting around...hmmm, ordinarily it is something I crave and enjoy immensely! I guess one someone tells you that you must, it's different.

Olivia got up at 5:50 (good thing I went to bed at 8:15...) and watched a video and had breakfast. Ryan's mom came over and helped with getting her ready for the day and then took her next door to the little house to play for a while. I sat on the couch...and sat on the couch...then took a bath. And did a load of laundry. Finally was too bored and went over to the little house to visit. La Vonne and I brought Olivia back over to get her down for nap (probably the most strenuous part of my day thus far...keeping her in the crib!) and Kurt & La Vonne began painting Olivia's new room.

So I sat on the couch some more. Then I heard it, CRASH! Silence. I just sat and waited. Finally I heard, "I'll go tell her." La Vonne came downstairs and said, "Merry Christmas, go pick out some new carpet." Oops. As much as pink paint looks adorable on the walls...not so much on the carpet. :)

And I thought this bed rest thing would be boring!

I'm laughing....Tell Kurt and LaVonne thanks for making me chuckle today at their expense (literally, right? Ha, ha.....)

Enjoy bed rest--maybe they could come to my house and break my refrigerator or something....I'd really like a new one. ;)
