Happy start of a new week Monday!!


How did everyone sleep last night?

Milestones? Updates? Appts?


Qotd: Do you have your hospital bag ready? If so, when did you start to prepare it? If you don't, when will you start preparing it?

New wk yay....

I slept good. I went to bed at 9pm woke up at 3am been up since crocheting and watching a baby shorty. Crying like a baby lol...

Yesterday I didn't do anything relaxed all day with the hubby. Looking forward to 31wks on weds :-)


Qotd: my mom is in charge of preparing my hospital bag. I think she just recently started to buy the stuff. She is very OCD so I know she will pack things I wouldn't even imagine parking :-) I love my mommy

Good Morning Kneenah! (and the rest of the lovely ladies).

Didn't sleep well even this the Ambien.  Had dreams that I was a drug dealer.  Very odd.  And all my customers were preg ladies.

Yesterday was pretty good.  I had a couple visitors, but DH stayed home. Enjoyed watching football and reading.  I just downloaded a couple new books to my Nook so I think that should last for the week.

QOTD: I have no idea who is going to do hospital bag.  Probably DH with help from our moms.  No idea what exactly I need in there.  

I hope everyone has a great day!  I'm going to shut down and take a nap.

30 weeks yesterday!! Slept pretty good. Girls are moving like crazy this morning! I love it! Just started buying stuff for my hospital bag, so I'm packing little by little. Since I'm 2 cm dilated drs say I could go anytime so really should get it packed.

Rkcaraway: funny dream... Enjoy your nap

Good morning!
New here. Been on bed rest since 24 weeks. Ill be 30 weeks tomorrow! Didn't sleep well this weekend so today will b filled with many naps.
Had an ultrasound Friday which showed my previa has finally moved yay! But my cervix keeps shortening and funneling and must stay on rest. Been having contractions and was sent to l&d fri and sat for some
Steroid shots to be fully prepared in case our little lady decides to make an early arrival.

QOTD: I have yet to pack! I think it's second child syndrome lol more laid back even tho with all these complications you'd think I'd be fully prepared. I should hopefully be pack within a week or two.

Hey ladies!!! 

Kneenah - I was just thinking yesterday I should use youtube to teach myself to crochet to help pass the time. How long have you been doing it? 

How did everyone sleep last night? Up every hour...ugh! I'm exhausted but I suppose that just means I sleep some this morning. 

Milestones? Updates? Appts?  I have an appt w/ my OB tomorrow.  I'm more excited than normal.  Not sure why, probably the combo of getting out of the house and getting to see the girls. 


Qotd: Do you have your hospital bag ready? If so, when did you start to prepare it? If you don't, when will you start preparing it? Nope, it's on my list of things to do this week with one of my one hour breaks out of bed. I'm also hoping to get DH to install the carseats in the car this week.  We're coming up on 32 weeks and it just feels like it's the "right time" if that makes sense.

Update: 31w 6d Getting closer. I get discharged at 34 weeks - 14 more nights! I am so exhausted from lousy sleep! I have slept apart from my husband for 53 nights and we are both suffering from it. I managed to gain a pound last week (they weigh me on Sundays) - hooray! I have now gained 9 lbs for the entire twin pregnancy. We cannot figure out why, but the babies are healthy sized so they aren't worried. We do a growth u/s tomorrow.

Been freaking out a bit at the whole birth thing. I am having a C section because the babies are breech and transverse and have been for 7 weeks. My nurse yesterday said they are now more concerned with painful contractions for me vs BH. They will stop labor up until 34 weeks.

QOTD: Since I am already in the hospital, packing a bag is moot. I have told my husband that we need to start bringing stuff home since I brought stuff that I never ended up using.

@kneenah - how's your blanket coming along? The one I am knitting for baby girl is about a quarter done. Something tells me I won't get both done - still need to start baby boy's.

@rkcaraway - If you were selling something that would let me sleep more than 2 hrs at a time, I'd be first in line.

@GSK - Congrats on 30 weeks!

@Spurpuri - happy early 30 weeks!

Morning ladies!
I finally got some sleep last night it was off and on... I'd sleep 2 hours watch tv for 2... but got a good 8 hours in and feel much better this morning.
Apt tomorrow and will pick up another 24 hr urine collection jug so no news until
I haven't packed yet... I've thrown a few bags and things in the corner of the bedroom that I will be bringing... will pack this week as well as installing the seats in the cars!

I just wanted to thank all of you ladies for your constant support over the last few months. Summer is coming home today after her week long stay in the NICU. I wish you the best in continuing your pregnancies and I hope that you all have healthy and happy babies and deliveries! :x

Nothing new to report here.  Slept okay, best I think I will get in the hospital!  I have an appointment with my MFM today and hoping to see a longish closed cervix.  Here's hopin'!  Congratulations to everyone on their new milestones, exciting! 

@jamiem538 Congratulations on bringing home Summer!  Enjoy!

QOTD: I will have a c-section, so I won't bring much to the hospital as as would rather ruin hospital gowns than my own clothes ;-)

YouMe&Bax: I just learned two weeks ago my mom came over and showed me the basics. I figure it would be a great way to kill time and get something done for LO. It's so relaxing I recommend it..

10-4 I started a new one on Friday because I bought a cute new yarn. I am already on my second ball of yarn :-) I might use three...

Kneenah - think it's possible to learn to crochet using youtube?  Is it easy enough for that?

Happy Monday! 

Actually slept better than I have in days.

I had a doctor's appt today!  It felt so good to put on make-up and a dress and get out of the house.  My blood pressure was normal and no protein in my urine-YAY!  Dr. said bed rest is working and gave me clearance to get up a little more but not to over do it.

QOTD: Frantically started collecting things the day I got put on bed rest and told that they would deliver me if I got protein in my urine.  I felt so unprepared!  (34 weeks)

Good late-mid-morning-dinner time morning :]

Slept ok just a little bit of hip pain but on the other hand, I'm still really tired it feels like I could sleep all day long..

Diaper bag, diaper bag, diaper bag..I've been thinking about it for a couple of days now. I'd definitely like to get started with it and have it done by 35 weeks when my bedrest/medication will be stopped juuuust in case so yah

So far only good news from all of us I see that's great!!!!

Yea... it isnt hard.. look up stuff like beginners.. the hardest part is learning to hold the needle in one hand and yarn in another lol

Happy Monday, all.  I'm new here- 29w4d, and I was officially put on home bedrest today for the long haul after learning that my cervix was short and soft on Friday.  I had the two steriod injections over the weekend and have started Procadia.  I'm still having some contractions (which started 6 weeks ago and have been increasing slowly since that time), but I'm hoping the Procardia fends off enough of them to keep me out of the hospital.  I work from home already, so I'm fortunate enough to be able to continue working full time throughout this. 

Slept pretty well last night, which was good since I didn't sleep much over the weekend because of the steriods. 

QOTD- haven't packed my hospital bag yet, but I started to think about it yesterday.  Part of me is too supersticious to pack a bag because then if I do go into labor, I'll think I jinxed myself by preparing!  So I'll probably wait a few more weeks and just keep my fingers crossed (or start a secret list or something that I can give to my husband if something does happen!).

I had a doctors appointment this morning. My little man is measuring two weeks ahead at 35 weeks in only 33 weeks. My cervix is still shortening but he's fully developed and healthy so he can come anytime now. Still having more and more contractions each day but they have been manageable. The ultrasound tech mentioned he already had a full head of hair so I'm excited to meet him. I have a few things set aside for my hospital bag but no diaper bag. My shower is in 2 weeks so I'm hoping he will stay cooking till then. I hope everyone has a good week!

Hi! I am newish. I've been on bedrest for 2 weeks thanks to preterm labor. I had my last daughter at 28 weeks, so they're being extra cautious. I'm thinning out and a cm dilated. This is our fourth (and last!) child. We have 4 girls. My cervix isn't a fan of 4 kids in 5 years. I miss my two youngest, and keep having dreams that they forget who I am. They are 3 hours away with their grandparents until my bed rest is lifted on Halloween. I am 30 weeks on Thursday, but my appointment is tomorrow. Hoping for status quo on the cervical front.

I'm working on making a ribbon mobile for the little one.

My diaper bag isn't packed but I probably will tomorrow. I could deliver at any time.

I would suggest at least having a list prepared for hubby. It wasn't fun trying to explain over the phone everything I needed either time that I in expecting ending up in the hospital. Not that I have my bag packed yet.... But it would be a good idea! Haha
