What can you do to entertain yourself while on bedrest?

Question

My wife is 36 weeks pregnant and on bedrest for hypertension. She hopes to avoid induction for a couple more weeks. She watches TV, reads, and does minor scrapbooking, but tends to get bored. Any ideas for activities while on bedrest?

draw, word puzzles, get a laptop and go web surfing, make a diary for the baby, paint her nails, brush her hair and get some of her fav movies

Get her a knitting kit, it worked for me...I was on bed rest with #1 from 28 weeks till 35 weeks.  And I mean strict bedrest not modified.

I always found that my wife liked to read a good book and play a game boy or other portable game! (:
