Day five. Things are good. Not much new. I'm bored. I'm feeling lucky nothing major is going on and Otis is staying in. I'm trying to get the doctors to let me go home to do bedrest. I've heard different things but maybe they'll let me since I'm stable and have a couple weeks to go. That would be awesome, as my shower this morning was about 2 seconds long since I couldn't get any hot water AT ALL. Blah.
But...I'm keeping busy making felt garlands in my bed. I had two reorders, people that liked them so much they needed another! And since I have time on my hands I tried a star shaped garland, it turned out so cute. Brendan said you cut those all out by hand? And sewed them by hand? How do you have the patience?? Isn't it funny how we each have our own things we love to do--I found it very calming and relaxing to do that last night as I watched TV.
I've also got some books, I'm reading Friday Night Knitting Club right now and it's keeping my attention. Any other books that are light and not depressing or hard to read would be nice. I only have a VCR in my room so I have to send Brendan to the library to see if he can find the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice on VHS. Hello, Colin Firth, you can take up some of my time :)
That's about it. We're hanging in there and keeping Otis growing and hoping to make it to 34 weeks. The midwife told me today if we do make it to 34 wks we may be able to have a midwife deliver and not have to switch to the doctors. Yay! That would be great.

I'm glad things are going well!
For books, have you read Alexander McCall Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series? The HBO film adaptation is pretty good, too, if Brendan can get it from the library for you.
Happy to hear you two are hanging in(side) there. Star garland eh??? Hmm, what about hearts? OR PAPER DOLLS?! I'd LOVE one of those....you know, if you've got time.... ;)
Have a second piece of cake for me!
