Last Friday marked 28 weeks! Picture was taken on Sunday.
It's been a very emotional few weeks. The modified bedrest/limitations on what I can do is really hard. I'm use to being on the go and doing what I want to do so not being able to do the things I'm use to or want to, is very difficult.
I usally know what my limitations are but sometimes I think I can do more and then I end up in a lot of pain and uncomfortableness.
I feel bad that I can't do more around the house, but especially that I can't do more with Matthew. There's so much I want to do with him, especially with summer almost here!
I feel bad that my husband has to take on so much more. And he does it without complaining! I just want him to have a day off where he can relax and not have to worry about doing things around the house or entertaining Matthew all day.
I've been feeling like bad mother and wife. But I know that this is only temporary. My primary job right now is to make sure baby keeps growing inside! I have to remind myself that SHE is joy that will come out of all this.
Okay, pity party over. This too shall pass.
28 weeks down, 10 more weeks to go (ideally)!

You look GREAT! And I know it must be frustrating to limit what you're doing, but you are right- keeping that baby healthy IS your most important job right now! This is an opportunity to be thankful for your sweet hubby and countdown the days until you get to meet your sweet baby girl! That being said though, every pregnant person needs their venting moments, so I don't blame you one bit for being discouraged by the limitations! Hang in there mama!
You look fantastic! I know you feel like a bad mom, but really as time goes on and baby girl gets here, it will feel like a blip of time that you couldn't get up and do stuff with Matthew. And he's still little enough he won't remember and even if he was old enough, he'd understand that you aren't doing it on purpose.
Hang in there!
Hey, you have gotten this far--she's almost here...just keep doing what you can and remembering that it will be worth it.
I can't imagine how frustrating that is! You can do this, though, and soon it will be a memory!
I can feel your pain. I was just on bedrest for 5 days at the beginning of both of my pregnancies and I was so tired of just taking it easy. But in the end it's worth it. ONly 10 more weeks to go, you got this!
You can do this, and I understand just how hard it is to want to be doing things, and seeing all that you aren't doing. But you are doing the {one of the} MOST IMPORTANT job....growing that sweet little girl!
