Slept great last nt for the first time in weeks!

No new cravings or aversions. Still just want lots and lots of fruit.

Have an appt today for 20 wk ultrasound (even though I'm 2 days shy of 18 wks). Already aware that we are team blue so we will be able to focus on the measurements. Also, AFP test today.

I have an almost 5 yr old son, he's from a prev marriage, I'm from California, hate the cold, obsessed with convertibles but can't get one because I'm photo sensitive (allergic to the sun).

I slept okay last night. I usually take benadryl but my midwife told me I should try to go without (I know it's okay to take, she is just super cautious) so last night was the first time in a while I didn't take it. I slept great til 3am, then I was awake/hungry so I got up and made an egg sandwich with orange juice. Yum! Went back to bed from 6-8.

I'm craving Rice Krispie treats. Weird.

Will be 33 weeks on Sunday! Then only 1 wk to go til we hit my first milestone of 34 weeks.

5 facts
1. I'm a nurse and have a love/hate relationship with my job.
2. We are naming our son Dexter. Yes, we got the idea from the show about a serial killer but we both just love the name!
3. My husband and I took Bradley Method classes to prepare for a natural birth.
4. I had a Reuben sandwich the night that I'm pretty sure I conceived, and I've craved them frequently throughout my pregnancy.
5. I live in Wisconsin and I'm getting sooo sick of the cold - it just snowed a couple of days ago. I would give anything to lay out in the warm sun.

Slept pretty well!

My OB is giving me two weeks off for good behavior! So I can do a more modified bed rest as long as I take it easy and my BP is good!

Appointment with the MFM next week - I love going there bc I get to see my baby girl!

Five facts:

1. I am a very awkward hugger. I avoid hugs at all costs. 

2. My OB thinks my baby will be born around 34/35 weeks based on my BP issues and that is just 4.5 weeks away. Holy. Crap. 

3. DS sat by himself today for two minutes! That is a new record!

4. We finished putting the nursery (aka corner in our bedroom) together! Yay!

5. I love the philly cheesesteak sub from Quizno's. Love. It.

I'm on week 2 of modified bed rest.

I slept better than normal last night! And I managed to sleep past 7 a.m. which is also a huge step for me.

I am craving deviled eggs. o.O Not sure what that's about.

I do not have a doctor's appointment for another week. I'm hoping I can get a more clear idea of what my doctor means by "modified bed rest" during my next visit. It would be lovely to feel comfortable getting out of the house for a bit every now and then. I'm going CRAZY!

Five things!!

1. I am on bed rest due to DVT, a large blood clot in my leg.
2. I am currently re reading the Harry Potter Series. :P
3. I'm guilty of not eating the healthiest foods since I've been on bed rest.
4. I am expecting a baby boy on May 8th.
5. My babyshower is in two weeks.

Does anyone else have pain in their ribs from laying down all day? It's driving me BONKERS!
