10 Things You Must Know When Spending 5 Weeks Antepartum Room #141

10. You MUST bring your own pillow. Otherwise you might be stuck sleeping with this pancake.

9.  Hang up all the sweet pictures that your loving nieces send to cheer you up!

 

8.  Flowers always make you feel better.  

                                          

7.  Make sure you have wonderful friends and family to bring you meals.  Hospital food gets very old. (If you are one of the ones who brought us yummy food.....THANK YOU!)

6.  Have friends who will always keep you "in spirit" and save your spot when you can't be with them.

5.  Have sweet little ones come and visit! They are good for the soul.

 

4. When you are on bed-rest, don't get up long enough to lose your bed.

3.  Make sure you have plenty of activities to keep you busy.  Coloring books are fun (even if you are almost 30 years old).   And remember to always do your best to neatly color in between the lines, especially when a doctor unexpectantly pops into your room while making his rounds (if possbile, it's good to have a niece or two help you color the picture....that way the doctor won't give you a strange look and think to himself, "bless her heart.")

 

2.  Take joy in personal milestones.  Especially when you have made it through enough sonograms to not pass out!

1.  Make sure you have someone goofy around to bring you comic relief.
