Get up and bathe Scylla whenever she wakes up in the morning. After getting her dressed I start a movie for her while I make her eggs for breakfast (her favorite) then I get me a bowl of cereal.
We eat while watching the movie then I lay down on the couch in which Scylla goes from cuddling with me to laying on the floor and back and forth.
After her movie we normally turn the tv off and at this point Scylla starts bring me toys to play with her. We play while I'm still laying/sitting on the couch. We play with toys, read books, she dances to music etc. basically I try staying down until lunch time while still giving her the attention she needs.
For lunch I make something quick and easy. Oh yeah I've started keeping the dishwasher unloaded so after each time we use anything it goes right into the dishwasher instead of sitting in the sink. I also wash any pans right after I use them so dishes staying caught up. This is what's helping the most!
After lunch it's nap time. During this time I nap, read or watch tv so I'm down once again.
After nap I get Scylla a snack and put on a short cartoon and we cuddle (she needs this to fully wake up)
Caleb's normally about home by this point, so after the cartoon we go back to toys. When Caleb gets home if I'm needing more down time or sleep he watches Scylla while I go lay in bed. If not I stay on the couch until dinner time.
I've came up with a list of dinners that we pick from. I've been talking Caleb through making dinner. After dinner I quickly load the dishwasher and do any hand dishes.
By this time it's either scyllas bed time or close to it.
We both put her to bed, then Caleb cleans up toys and does any vacuuming or sweeping we need. I make his lunch for work and lay out his work clothes then take a bath, watch tv, read etc.
so I'm not down 100% like I should be but this is as much bed rest that's working for me.
