I am up early :-) Sunday morning..

I slept well... Thank god..

I woke up poking around at my belly to wake little one up. Lol she gave me kick two little kicks meaning "yes mom I am still ok, now let me sleep"
Oh the fears of pregnant at a loss never go away even when your almost 30wks...


Last night was so much fun! Other then me address the DH about his wonderful weekend outings and leaving me alone my BFF came over with a tray of lasagna that I was craving. I haven't seen or spoken to her in about 3 months. I am her sons god mother and was so happy to see them. She stood for about 5hrs which is so nice. I went to bed around 2 and here I am wide awake waiting for hubby to wake up and make breakfast!!

Qotd: I have a hugeeeeee phobia of rats/mice... Omg it's horrible the fear I have of those things. To imagine I live in NYC and we are infested with rats. I live in an old building and have a cat which I am allergic to just to keep this little things out. I have not idea where the fear came from but its bad..

Happy Sunday!

How did everyone sleep? Slept okay.  I'm back up to getting a solid 2 hours of sleep at a time which is an improvement from 1-1.5 hours.  I'm hoping that perhaps I'll work back up to 3 hours? One can dream, right?  

Milestones? Updates? No milestones as of yet.  I have (I think) mentally processed this bed rest thing and I'm less mad/sad/upset about it than I was on Thursday when I found out.  I'm in the midst of figuring out what I can do to still feel productive for the next 6.5 weeks - but I have decided to take it one week at a time and to make a schedule for myself - I don't need to lay in bed until 5pm w/out a shower - I have 1 hour when I get up that I can get up and take one and I need to do so.  So, I'm hoping scheduling it out will help me a bit too (I'm super type-a, can ya tell ).  

Qotd: Do you have a phobia/ fear towards anything? I am deathly afraid of butterflies and moths.  To the point that if a butterfly is seen coming my way my body locks up and I can't move and I just cry.  Strange, eh?

Good Morning!

Slept pretty good last night. 9 HOURS!! WOOT WOOT!!  Only a couple potty trips, but fell right back to sleep.  

I see MFM and OB tomorrow.  Nothing exciting there, but at least I get to see the LOs on the big screen again.

OQTD: BEES!!  I'm slightly allergic to them, but a run and scream every time one gets close to me.  

Kneenah, did the conversation go ok? I hope he was understanding!

Morning and Happy Sunday
I slept decent, I was exhausted from the move and now I am overwhelmed looking at all these boxes that need unpacking! I hope everything is in its place by the time LO arrives. I really hope to make it into October... my blood pressures have remained 'stable' at 140's/90's and labs are still normal so I'm very optimistic!
qotd: I have a very very very scared of bugs... spiders, moths, cockroaches, wasps...  it is irrational and to the point where my reactions are embarrassing but I cant help myself

oh and @kneenah1231 ... I understand... I am always poking around my belly to get one or two 'I'm okay mom' reaction kicks... especially after loooong sleep cycles! I know she needs her sleep... but I need my sanity lol ... she usually has 2 active periods a day and always has the hiccups around 6 am!

Youme&bax: my baby shower theme is butterflies :-/ I've been in bedrest for going on 9wks and I have yet to make a routine BUT I can say I have excepted this as my new temp normal. I am sure getting into a routine will help you and time will fly right by. When I did a few days of hospital bedrest they had me on a routine and those days just flyed by...

Rkcaraway: conversation didn't go as I hoped. It didn't turn into an argument but he is the type that you address something and he just stays quiet doesn't give feed back. But I told him I will drop it and never bring it up again he need to figure it out himself.. Grrr men

Marianaz: I really haven't adjusted to her long sleeping patterns :-/

Update: 30w 5d. Only 22 days left until 34 weeks which is when I will definitely be released (there's some talk of 32 weeks but I am skeptical). I slept ok. I was tired so I actually fell asleep at a reasonable time - before 11. However, when the nurse woke me up for my 5:30 meds, I felt a slight gush of fluid. After swabbing me and calling the doctor, we figured out that little boy kicked my bladder just right. Oh the indignities of being pregnant! So glad it was only that though! Slept in this morning until 8:30. Hooray!

QOTD: I'm a pretty calm person. I do not like big scary looking bugs, but I will take one out if I have to.

@kneenah and mariana - I actually have to rub my belly to get my kids to calm down! They are always moving, kicking, or hiccuping. I frequently order turkey for dinner in hopes that the tryptophane will make them sleepy. I guess we worry about them whatever they do!

This is my first bedrest check in! Just thought I'd introduce myself: I'm Kayleigh, I'm expecting my first baby, a boy on December 10th this year! I'm getting induced before 39 weeks because of my chronic hypertension so he'll be here earlier. I'm on bedrest for my blood pressure and an artery notching so the goal is to keep baby growing and healthy!

I slept okay, was extremely achey though so I couldn't get comfortable between waking up to pee all the time.

Update: Baby has been moving around a lot more the past couple days so that gives me more assurance that he's okay. I haven't checked my blood pressure in a couple days because my cuff is just too small. It gives me high readings. Luckily I have an appointment tomorrow to check my blood pressure and I can talk to my doctor about everything.

QOTD: I'm terrified of flying bugs. I can barely go outside without screaming at a tiny fly!

@kneenah1231 - I should've clarified - only live butterflies freak me out.  I've come a long way though, b/c movies/commercials with butterflies (real ones) would get me too -now I can sit through that.  9 weeks - that's a haul! I'm impressed!! What do you do to pass your time?

I slept really well ... was having pretty consistent contractions on procardia before bed and was happy I was able to sleep and they slowed down. Woke up to intense pain while trying to change hips - I think it was severe RLP. 

I'm almost 35wks which makes this bed rest thing feel a little less dreary ... I only have 4 weeks until my scheduled c-section. I'm in the home stretch which is a relief given my complete emotional breakdown today while watching the hubby finish the nursery. We are on two different wavelengths ... basically, I wanted him to put something in storage instead of out and he didn't understand why it was so important to me. It really wasn't - it was more of not being able to do it myself, not being able to help hang the frames, etc. I hate being so dependent. 

Fear/Phobia: I have a fear of heights.... it's gotten better but I def get panicky days before flying and when in a hotel with floor to ceiling windows.

Since my sleeping patterns are all over the place I don't have a routine so I just do whatever from crochet, Netflix, TB, shop online, research baby items. I also don't stay in bed all day I go to the living room. DH gets home at 4 so my mornings usually go by quick.

What I do that Also helps is I look forward to appts and my 17p nurse visits. So this week coming I will look forward to my friend bringing me food on tuesday, wed 17p nurse and mile 30milestone, Thursday I have my sonogram/growth scan and a Mfm visit. Friday DH will head to parents house to pick up my package I ordered. Saturday DH has a kid party to attend, Sunday rest all day. Monday look forward to a new wk.
