I'll be 28 weeks tomorrow.  I liked when I was in hospital.  Cuz they had my hooked up to monitor s I could hear my son's heartbeat which made me feel a little bit better knowing he was ok.

@aruth yes my bleeding did stop on its own. And dr. Kept me in hospital til yesterday to make sure I didn't start bleeding again. And now I'm at home on bed rest. Taking it as easy as possible.  Cuz he says that it's a good chance if I start bleeding again I will have to have c section and have him delivered early. I have and appt with him on monday.

I'll have to have my hubby go get me crossword books. So far I been watching movies (took up living room couch)  and playing games on my phone.  I ordered my baby shower invitations online and had them printed and my friend went and picked them up for me... and dice I have time now I'll probably do the addresses on the envelopes just to give me something to do.  It's just hard Cuz my husband works all day and so I sit here and think about all the bad things that can happen. :-/

I know how you feel. I've been on bed rest since last week. Doctor won't let me go home until they deliver baby next week. I am always on phone or watching Netflix on phone or watching Tv. Laying in this hospital bed all day is definitely stressing me.but i really hope you find things to do. O and reading something keeps my mind at bay during the day.

Things you can do:
Read books
Work on puzzles (if you can get a puzzle table close enough to the bed)
Watch TV (maybe see if someone can go rent you movies...redbox is always emailing/texting coupons if you sign up with them)
Play games on the computer
Sew or knit if you know how
Crosswords/Word Searches
Shop online for baby stuff (or do baby registry if you still need to)
Hmmm...that's all I can think of at the moment.

Are you still in the hospital? Did they get the bleeding to stop? I've been wondering how you were.
