Thursday Bedrest Check In

It's a new day!

How did everyone sleep?

Milestone? Appts? Updates?

Qotd: If you could eat anything right now with no fears of exposing your little one, what would you eat?

Update: 30w 2d. Doing good. Just staying in my hospital bed, getting work done, watching tv, and knitting a baby blanket for my girl. Hope I can finish and start baby boy's soon.

QOTD: Everything. I have GD and have never wanted cake, sweets, juice, and carbs more. I had a bit of rebellion last night and ate 8 crackers with my peanut butter instead of my usual 4. My glucose was at 155. Bad mommy.

I'm starting to go a little crazy on bedrest. I'm 29w6d and have been on some form of bedrest since 21 and 6. My rational side knows that this is best for my girls, but my selfish side is starting to come out more wanting the entire thing to be over. My girls weighed 3lbs 3 oz and 2lbs 13 oz on Tues. I know they need to grow more, but I am still going a bit crazy. I wish I had some friends and family near, but I don't.

QOTD: I want feta cheese and Brie and wine! More than food, I want to go for a run, drive somewhere, play soccer, and go to work.

Sorry for all of the whining. It has been a hard few days

So-so sleep last night.  I ended up coming out to the couch and reading my book for a couple hours.  

Very restless this morning.  Tired, but can't fall asleep.  Achy. And obviously whiny.  

QOTD: WINE!!!!  Oh, how I miss wine.

Slept ok, hip is hurting badly though.

Watching tv (I hate tv) and writing lists and reading a few things here and there.

I'd love to have endless seafood paella and a strawberry margarita..

@sarahcalvert - Completely understand. It's hard to get through the days. On my harder days, I remind myself that every day I get through could be a doctor's appointment that I don't have to make or time I don't have to spend worrying next to an isolette. It helps me keep my mind focused. It sucks that we don't get a break from the boredom and aches.

I didnt realize i didnt check in

I slept like crap.  Once dh left to work at 5:30am i grabbed my pillow and knocked out till 11am well needed rest.

I had a cervical ck today.. Its still nice and stable. Since i still didnt get the steriod shot i am being monitored every wk until 32wks thats when they stop cervial cks. I am dying for these sonograms to end. I enjoy seeing my princess but I pay 100 per sonogram and its a bit annoying having that probe in me ;0/

qotd: I want a glass of wine and oysters :0)

Quick update: went into preterm labor Tuesday night and currently in hospital. Hit my 32 week mark that day, too. Magnesium (wow, isn't that stuff fun!) and steroid shots and of course lots of blood tests! They also removed my cerclage, because of the strain on the stitches (Ouch!) and that was a bit of a struggle, guess my surgeon does wonderful tight stitches! Amnio came back as no infection, and after some oxygen problems with the Mag, everything is stable today and I'll go off of it tomorrow morning. Then a bit of monitoring and I should get released for HBR. Just trying to hit 34 weeks, at this point, but I'd love 36!

Happy milestones to those I missed! Hang in there to those going crazy on bed rest and struggling. Thoughts and prayers to everyone!

Jimmy Johns for me...one delivers to the hospital and I so want!

I slept pretty well last night. I usually take Benadryll otherwise I am up all of the time. I have my growth ultrasound, NST, and cervical check in the morning. I had a little bit of blood today so I'm curious to see if we have had any change in dilation. I believe I won't technically be on SBR after tomorrow. I'm pretty anxious to be done with this and have my little man in my arms. 

There aren't really any foods that I would like right now, but I would love to go out shopping and to really deep clean my house. I feel like I will never get it back to as clean as it was!

I never sleep well! Both hips kill and I normally wake up about 4 or 5 am to use the bathroom and I am awake for about a hour after that! I am 27w5d today and have been on BR now since 21w3d. 

Had a growth u/s today and Baby A (Girl) had a heartbeat of 158, is weighing in at 2 lbs 10 oz, and measuring a week ahead of schedule! She has flipped back to breech which isn't concerning since she switches either during the u/s or at each u/s. Baby B (Boy) had a heartbeat of 138, is weighing in at 2 lbs 9 oz, and is also measuring a week ahead! He was across the top of my belly with his head on the right side and is now head down along the left side of me so I have a little relief but I can't distinguish whose movements are whose anymore

Had a positive FFN on 8/26 but never heard a peep from my OB so I let it go. Told perinatal today and they did a cervical check and I have had not one ounce of change in a month. They still weren't happy about the FFN so I got 1 shot of betamethazone today and will get one tomorrow. They are discontinuing the FFN tests and will do a cervical check either weekly or biweekly depending on OB and will still do growth scans every 3 weeks.

Uffta! Sorry so long needed to explain to someone who can't constantly interrupt as I try to explain, (my mom, MIL, friends...) DH is always there so he knows what is going on!
