Re: Monday bedrest check in
Who stold my sleep? I had the hardest time trying to fall to sleep. From feeling itchy to rapid heart rate to pain on my right rib. It was horrible. Finally around 1:30am I fell asleep with hourly bathroom breaks.. :-(
I had such a nice weekend.. I had visitors every day this weekend..
Qotd: my sister use to love to coupon but I never got into it. I would love to try now that I see how much you really save.
I slept a few hours but I always get woken up when DH wakes up to go go to the gym. Then I can't sleep. Woke up to Sawyer kicking up a storm and hiccuping in there so that was cute
34 and 5 today. Dreaded peri apt tomorrow where we will be deciding our 'fate'. Last apt he had already told me to have my bags packed and everything ready before tomorrow - and that was before the pre e diagnosis. Sigh... I have my mom and a friend coming over today to 'get everything ready'
Qotd I started trying to coupon when I got put on bedrest , I got a binder and everything, but I always forget to bring them to the stores lol

QOTD: I tried to get into it, but I always forget coupons. I like how some stores are putting their coupons on their store apps. I always have my phone with me!
Slept fine last night, just took me a little while to fall back to sleep when hubby came home drunk!
Had an OB appt today, and my cervix is the same as it was last week, still short but closed, so that's good. My BP last week and this week was 140/70, which is very high for me- I need to take it at home when I'm resting, because I'm guessing it's just my body's way of reacting to being upright in the doctor's office when it's been horizontal for 10 days now. My OB also confirmed that at this point (30W4D) if something did happen and baby stays head down, we can do a vaginal delivery, which is great- I thought we might need to get further to consider vaginal.
No real couponing for me, unless it's something for Kohls or Bed Bath and Beyond or those types of things!
Morning ladies! I slept very well last night...I think I stole your sleep Kneenah, sorry!! Still in the hospital but had my ultrasound this morning at the MFMs. My cervix is holding at 1.7, I am hoping there is a chance I will go home today. However, I do know this may be an unrealistic hope. I ordered some crafts to start a project so I am not so bored. I am going to make a wreath and attempt to crochet some booties for my BFF who is having her baby tomorrow!!
QOTD: I want to learn how to coupon so bad but I find it so overwhelming and always give up.
Stuff to do... I brought my Nook so I could read. I am also still working and that gives me new stuff to look at every day. How about card games on your phone? I'm a big fan of solitaire and Phase 10. I also did a lot of work on my baby registry. I do some online shopping, but only if I can find baby stuff at significant discount.
Ask your nurses. Most hospitals have DVD and book libraries.
I have GD so I spent a lot of time planning out my meals. Yes, exciting stuff. Also, I know that Sundays are weigh-ins, sonograms are Tuesday and Friday. Things to think about when I "plan" my day. Write down questions for your doctors.
Break down those four weeks. I use a countdown app on my phone.
Hang in there. Time gets weird in the hospital. The days are long. I created little routines (wake up, getting ready for bed) that helped me adjust. I also spend a lot of time justifying bed rest - for example, I've been alive for 483 months. I can give 2 months or .6% of my life to give my babies the best start possible. (Yes, I am old).
If it gets to be too much, tell your nurse. There are usually counseling services that can help you. And of course, this board is a great place to vent and get support.
Happy Monday!
I actually slept well until around 5am when my back started feeling uncomfortable! I count it as a win!
The hubs vacuumed out my car and put the carseat together yesterday and the pack n play/bassinet. I think we are all ready now!
Had a great Dr appt earlier this morning! Blood pressure was 130/80, so baby gets to stay a little longer! Whoo Hoo! I'm only 5 days from 37 weeks and I'm counting down the days to that milestone!
QOTD: I love coupons. I have a stack of them in the kitchen in my mail holder and before I go out for a shopping trip I always grab one I've saved, it seems like just about any big box store you can get a coupon for at least 20% off. And it seems like I've had coupons for just about every baby thing we have purchased. Thanks to Babies R US friends and family I saved 85$ on the rest of our registry stuff this weekend!
I also do Kroger's online coupons you add to your Kroger card and the ones they mail out, but I don't really seek out additional coupons.
I no longer feel bad about my day! I am so sorry you had a bad appt. I will be saying prayers for you for the next two weeks for sure! Can they give you progesterone? I dont know if its too late for that yet. Hopefully 24 weeks is a milestone you get to...that is a viable age right? Hang in there, we are all have our fingers crossed for you!
