Monica has been a trooper. She’s pregnant with twins and is nearing the end of this 9 month journey. She’s out of work and forced to lay on the couch for fear of her legs swelling up like an allergic reaction from a radioactive bee. It’s bad. Since she has some time on her hands she came up with the following blog. Enjoy.

Top Ten Things You Learn on Bed Rest

10. Bed rest was not created for multi-taskers or people with ADD.

9. Trying to get up off the couch after an hour of laying there takes about 3 minutes.

8. Daytime TV and late night TV are awful. Worst info-mercials ever.

7. Every time you attempt to drink while laying down without a straw, it will spill. Every time.

6. Trying to “hold it” for just a few more minutes to avoid getting off the couch is not an option.

5. 7 pillows does not make bed rest more enjoyable; nor does laying on my left side which everyone seems to think will cure everything.

4. People want constant updates on the babies, but there aren’t any. Still on the couch.

3. People call when I fall asleep, without fail. You can keep calling, I have nothing to do but lay here.

2. We have amazing people in our lives.

1. These babies are loved by our family, close friends, acquaintances, and near strangers. That is mind blowing to me.
