Love Thursday & the bedrest.

The pregnancy of my second child brought with it one major complication, a problem that caused me to be on hospital bedrest for the last 2 months. Yes, it was extremely difficult! Difficult to be away from a comfy home and yummy food, but it was almost unbearable to be away from my son.

My 4 year old was only one and a half at the time, and was really confused by the situation. Once during that time, he got pneumonia; he was brought into emergency at the same hospital that I was at so at least I could see him. But the most heartbreaking part was to see my son reaching out to me with his little arms and not being able to hold him.

Everything ended well, and we were all fine, but it was a hard 2 months for the entire family. My mom was amazing, taking care of my son, while worrying about me, my husband visited me everyday, bringing me things to feel more comfortable and my sisters would run the errands. Families are truly a blessing.

Thoughts from Jenna

Gah. bed rest is the worst. But that picture of your son with the flowers? I’m weepy.

Thoughts from 1girl2boys

That last picture is so sweet.  What a sweet little guy.  That must’ve been so tough for him, and you too.

Thoughts from Jen

How hard that must have been for everyone.  So glad it worked out in the end.  And that flower picture is precious!  Happy Love Thursday!

Thanks for your thoughts!

Can you imagine having just given birth, after staying 2 months in the hospital, and then this precious creature show up with roses like that?!? I think I almost burst with emotion!

Awww…I can only imagine what that did to you as a mom…

I felt soo guilty for HAVING another baby and Adam was sooo good.

Your kids are so sweet.

Thoughts from Teresa

That’s such a sweet story.  Your son sounds like such a little trooper! (and such a little cutie)

Thoughts from Kay

That brought tears to my eyes.

Happy Love Thursday. Mine’s up. Care to drop by?

Thoughts from Amanda.

My two best friends were on hospital bedrest for 7 weeks but unfortunately I was 7 hours away late in my own pregnancy and then with a newborn and was unable to help other than send cards, flowers, and support via the telephone.

I’m glad everything turned out well for you and you had a good support system,

Happy Love Thursday.

Thoughts from Anila

Thoughts from shaz

thanks for your comments. it makes me weepy too, even now!

Amanda, thats really sad you couldn’t be there for your friends, but even the thoughts mean alot in that situation.

Women on hospital bedrest certainly need A LOT of support!
