I was on bedrest part of my pregnancy with my second son who was born at 31 weeks. I did a lot of reading, TV watching (no internet back then) and I took up cross stitch and made a stitchery for his room~ a big dinosaur~ they were big back then LOL! When I see the stitchery now, I am reminded of that time. My son is 28 years old now... I will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers as little Cole grows each day!

I had to be on complete bedrest while I was pregnant with my son Ryan. As a precaution I spent 5 months in the hospital before he was born for his safety and mine. Gladly I can tell you that everything turned out fine. My son will be 22 this November, so rest all you can and take care of that gift from God.<br />Kim@lettersfromtheshore.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13226586657786432324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-22840943800137164052010-10-29T12:03:48.174-04:002010-10-29T12:03:48.174-04:00Oh I so understand.

It was horrible for me, I had to drop out of College classes at the time, and was living far away from friends and family. That pregnancy did not come to term, but I have 3 beautiful children since. Since they grew older I went back to school and into health care. After my studies, I can honestly say Holy cow!! The human body is an amazing complicating unit, even from the time of the egg, all the changes it goes through, and then the fetus, and so on. With medical technology the way it is today, they catch things sooner, and are able to save or fix things faster.<br /><br />so...<br /><br />KEEP POSITIVE!<br />STIMULATE YOUR MIND (so you aren't dwelling on the health or you or the baby)<br />HAVE PLENTY OF FACES AROUND<br /><br />Maybe learn to knit or crochet or do cross stitch or do some light scrapbooking...all can be done sitting down.<br /><br />I am sending much positive, healing, and comforting energy your way.<br /><br />come visit:<br />http://piecesoffatesusan.blogspot.com/2010/10/tuesday-er-um-thursdaytreative-been.html<br /><br />I have a surprise for you:) (and it was up before your post was)<br /><br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623256635644408139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-20442991747162493962010-10-28T20:17:57.215-04:002010-10-28T20:17:57.215-04:00I do want you to know that I do think of you often...I do want you to know that I do think of you often and I will keep you in my prayers.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638073553916811179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-42148348419404965272010-10-28T09:32:34.309-04:002010-10-28T09:32:34.309-04:00Hello Kim,

My youngest daughter wanted to cook too long - they had to induce! But, I always considered pregnancy a precious time between mother and child. This is the time they are all yours - close to your heart. What a wonderful and amazing thing God gave us to become mothers. Time will go by - your baby boy will come then it will seem time is accelerating! Rest as much as you can, read as much as you can, explore the Internet...all the while God is watching over you and we'll be praying for you!<br />God Bless,<br />KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00310044533488593888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-6436714703458382022010-10-28T08:54:18.743-04:002010-10-28T08:54:18.743-04:00Kim,

Perhaps God is helping you learn to lean on other for help and support -- one of the very hardest things for many people to do, including me. <br /><br />I can hear in through your writing that you know this is for the best and that you are bending to this situation, and I'm really proud of you because I know it isn't easy.<br /><br />Would you like a prayer on your behalf entered on my blog? If so, please let me know how you would like it phrased. In the meantime, I will say a prayer that you remain at peace, calm and pleasantly surprised at all a person can learn from sitting/laying and watching. God will provide you with entertainment, I have no doubt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551039893085903284.post-74563777985119968792010-10-27T23:29:53.790-04:002010-10-27T23:29:53.790-04:00Asking you to rest is like asking the sun not to r...Asking you to rest is like asking the sun not to rise.

If you're not in motion, you feel like you are not accomplishing anything. <br /><br />BUT, consider the following from my favorite book....(Matthew that is:)<br /><br />Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. <br /><br /><i>Matthew 11:28-30</i><br /><br />Here's another one<br /><br />Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth<br /><br />Psalm 46:10<br /><br />Cole will be here soon enough, and there will be no rest for a long time.
