I have been on bedrest for two weeks... ( 18 more and counting) I feel like I am going to go insane- any ideas?

Learn to crochet or knit. You can make the baby clothing, blankets, booties, hats ... lots of things. Yarn is VERY inexpensive so why not? Crochet is extremely easy and you can learn on-line for free. I crochet and it REALLY makes the time fly. It's also very relaxing.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you and the baby are doing well. Congrats and take it easy. Enjoy the rest while you can. ;~)

I learned to knit and crochet while pregnant. I know it sounds very old-lady-ish.. but it's actually relaxing and fun. You can get supplies from a craft store and an instruction book - or you can watch instructional videos online for free. A cooking class might be fun also - and it's a good way to spend some romantic time-in with your husband. You could set up a folding table outside if the weather is nice and have a candlelit, home cooked meal. Another romantic idea would be to buy an instructional book on massages and have your husband rub your achy back (you can reciprocate) with scented oils and such. Congrats on your little one on the way!

I did a lot of crocheting and took up knitting. My sisters sent me a lot of coloring books and crayons. I did some scrapbooking and wrote a lot of thank you notes. TV and movies get really old, really fast. You're lucky, I didn't have a laptop!! Maybe look online for some computer games to play. I mean those really involved games. Find one you might be interested and give it a try. Best of luck!

Crossword puzzles, word search, call friends, paint, read books, magazines, do some exercises like leg lifts and arm stretches, think about all the great times your new baby is going to bring you. Good luck and happy laboring:)

Find your favorite tv show or series and get all the episodes in all the seasons and watch them. Get a good book to read, write in a journal. Make prank calls. invent something. get all your boxes of pictures out and make a scrap book.

Surf the net....

Get on a site called ebaumsworld.com....funny videos
Also get on bored.com
Have fun...good luck!

Try a video game or a computer game like runescape. It whiles away the time and its fun too.

rent movies
start your baby's photo album - even though you don't have any pictures yet, getting the scrapbook ready and set up takes a long
time, that way you will only have to insert the pictures
learn to crochet and make your baby a blanket !
