Chris and I were talking last night about how many things I have either missed or haven't done while on bed rest.  He was changing Mia's diaper and it dawned on us that after four and half years of diapers, I have had a little break from this task.  It was kind of amazing to think about so I thought I would make this list and then update it in a few weeks.  This is just a little something to humor the bored...

• Price of gas was $3.80 when I started bed rest, but now it is $4.05 (so I have heard on the news!)
• I missed my brother's graduation and dinner at Maggiano's afterward.
• I have missed 2 MOPS meetings.
• I have missed 4 church services and 4 small group Bible studies.
• I have missed approximately 150 diaper changes.
• I have missed 48 meals with my family.
• I have missed 5 of Avery's ballet practices.
• I have missed 3 of Mia's home PT therapies and 4 hippotherapies.
• I missed Avery's last day of school picnic.
• I have missed approximately 6 trips to the grocery.
• I have not drove a car for over 30 days.
• I have not done approximately 30 loads of laundry.
• I have missed giving the girls approximately 15 baths. (Chris and I share this responsibility and each only did this every other night!)
• I have not dusted, swept, disinfected or done any cleaning for at least 16 days.
• I have missed 32 loads of dishes in and out of the dishwasher.
• I have not showered 12 days that I would have liked to.
• I have done approximately 44 Sudoku puzzles.
• I have watched approximately 184 hours of TV.
• I have read approximately 1,000 pages in books.
• I have read 6 books of the Bible.
• I have painted my nails 3 times and my toenails 2 times.
• I have had approximately 870 grams of magnesium sulfate pumped through my veins.
• I missed a Going Away party for my wonderful friend, Sarah, and her family.  They are moving to China this week.
• I have spent 17 nights away from my husband and not in my own bed.

This list could go on and on.....
