I have been hoping for a date. A trip to town. A chance for a break. Honestly, I’ve been having a craving for a restaurant in the city.

This was not what I had in mind.

I got sick and started cramping. I’ve had that with my first born. So the solution was the same. Put your feet up. Lay dow. Lay on your side. Rest. Hydrate. Stay off your feet. Try not to pick up your toddler. Try to relax. If it gets worse, come to L&D. Take it easy this weekend and we will see you on Tuesday for your appointment.

I knew they’d say that. 😑

I was on temporary bedrest for the same kinda thing over a weekend with my first. I’ve strained something and we are trying to ensure I don’t bleed like I did with my first. I ended up in actual bedrest with my first for months. It was annoying.

So here we sit. I lay down with my toddler when he slept. Now we are watching Elmo. I have so much guilt. Everything is a mess. And he’s watched a freaking lot of Elmo.

When I said I wanted a break, I meant like dinner out and sex with my man this weekend. Not checking for blood and counting kicks and worrying. 😑😑😑 All while not exactly being able to lay around all weekend because I’m a mom. And add on the mom guilt for the mess and too much tv. And seriously, I am tired. But I don’t have time for this.

I need to go fix supper anyways.
