I wish my SO could take time off to be here, I'd love it, but he doesn't have any paid leave for the baby, so he has to take his vaca time, which is about a week, since we didn't really know beforehand that his company did maternity leave but not paternity leave.
We do have a friend staying with us from out of state, but he's one of the 'car guys' and as much as I love him I do get tired of car conversation 24/7. I am also of the female crowd that doesn't really have many female friends, and my good male friends live out of town. My best friend (who calls the kid her nephew) didn't even show up for my baby shower and flakes every time she says she'll come out, so I've lost hope in that. Plus, everyone works during the day and at night there are people here or we will go to dinner or a movie or out for a drive just to get me out of the house, so evenings are usually okay.
I'm considering picking up my scrapbooking stuff again because we have pictures from a trip we took a couple months ago, but that gets expensive, and money's tight from me missing work due to days spent at the hospital or at home due to doc's orders.
I do get totally hooked on all things PacMan, Tetris, etc, but even then I tend to get tired of looking at a screen. I think it's so hard to stay down because the doc says "stay down". I did get them to allow me a five minute walk in the morning and one in the evening, but they didn't even want me to do that.
I'm also not allowed to drive myself anywhere, so I can't drive to Bookman's to get something new to read, so once I finish what I have here (I've currently read every book in the house aside from any language or car manuals)I'm screwed. I know I sound like a whiny baby, but right now I feel whiny. My belly is ginormous, I can't see my feet, which are swollen like melons, and I'm stuck home alone all day to sit and worry about making ends meet til I work again.
