The bed rest schedule of a hospital

It's kinda busy being on bedrest in a hospital. Here's how a normal day goes:

4am--meds
7am--breakfast dropped off
I usually eat at 7:30am.
Doc arrives around 8am to check in and chat.
Monitor babies sometime in the am./take vitals

10am protein shake and more meds
Visitors come/go
Lunch at noon.

Visitors sometimes
3pm other protein shake
Monitor babies/take meds and vitals
Shower/bed linen change

5pm dinner arrives
6pm-9pm Matt's here to hang out during the week.
Sometimes involves a wheelchair ride.

9:30pm more monitoring of babies for an hour/and meds and vitals
Sleep until 4am... unless contractions happen and a nurse is called.

There you go. It's much busier than one thinks! Throw in computer work/reading/TV and it's a full day!
