Bed rest and boredom(New Entry 18)



(Entry One)
Tali put me on bed rest till the babe is born. Does she not understand that I have over three more months?! Now I know what Fastdred felt like when I told him he couldn't get out of bed for a week till his rib healed enough to not puncture his lung. My poor love, the insanity it causes, toss in a baby just learning to walk. I can't sit here like this, Kynna needs to eat and I need to help her to walk more.

Well I can at least write that the pain has calmed a great deal, but it's getting difficult to hide the spots of blood from Dred. If he saw them as Tali does each day he would surely stay home by my side. I can't ask this of him. He needs time away from the house, in the smithy or out selling his wares. I know there's more to what's going on. Tali told me she wants to talk to Dred but every time she comes here he's been out on one of his errands. I know I shouldn't dwell on this, if there is something more, she's only holding it back to keep me from worrying about it, doesn't she know that by holding it back she's causing me to worry more?

(Entry Two)
Tali came by today while Fastdred was home. They spoke for sometime out of earshot. Once she left I asked him what was said. He informed me that it was nothing, but when I pressed him he told me that she had upped my dosage of her herbal mixture. He also made mention that I am not to walk about the house anymore. I made protest of course, I can't stay in bed while Kynna is home. She needs her mother, not some bedridden woman. In the end, I had to agree to take it easier as I was told. Dred will be home more often. I guess it wasn't too much of a bad thing since I get more time with him in the long run. The only problem is we're restricted in what we can do. I'll have to become creative it seems. Maybe Neyaa can help give me ideas for this?
