My Life is on bed rest…

Well, we had a feeling it would come sooner or later, but we were all hoping for later.
It’s official, My Life — Laurie, is on bed rest.
The pregnancy has been going well — I suppose as well as you can expect with twin boys.
However, she’s been having some contractions for a number of weeks now, but they started getting worse while she was at work last week.
She came home Wednesday evening, with instructions to “take it easy” and she stayed home the rest of the week.
She was waiting to hear back from the doctor yesterday when they decided it would be best for her to come in and check on a few things.
The doctor said everything still looks good with the boys (in fact Ian’s* no longer breached now) and everything’s moving along fine — but with the continuing contractions, the doctor’s now upgraded “take it easy” to “bed rest.”
So here’s where you (the reader) come in…
How can my wife keep herself from going stir crazy for the next 10-12 weeks on bed rest?
Got any good ideas?
And got any good ideas for me as well? 
What can I do to make her life more enjoyable/easy?
Let’s hear them in the comments below.
*Have I mentioned the boys’ names yet? I know Laurie has on her blog, but I don’t remember that I’ve shared their names here on mine – Baby A is Hayden James and Baby B is Ian Christopher.

Read lots of books, all those books she says she wants to read and hasn’t had time to read.
Learn to crochet. Or knit.
Watch movies on a laptop. Only comedies. Or glorious epics.
