Add any updates!
QOTD: What is the best vacation you have ever been on? If you have pics please feel free to PIP!
Re: ~~Bedrest Mamas Thursday Check-in~~
I'm heading to the peri in a few minutes, so we'll get some updates on the boys then. I'm anxious about Baby A's fluid because it's been going down every week and he was just above their cut off last week. If he's below today, I don't know if they'll deliver or what.
Best vacation was the cruise my mom took me and my SIL on last February. Jamaica, Grand Caymen, Cozumel, and Princess Cays. We swam with dolphins, climbed a waterfall, shopped (of course!), relaxed on the beach--so awesome!
My fFN results came back on Tuesday and they were negative, yay. I have an appointment with a peri on Wed. and then go back to my ob for another fFN the next Wed.
My favorite vacation is a toss up between our honeymoon to Disney World and the cruise we took Thanksgiving 2007 to Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Both were extremely fun and I can't wait to go back to Disney and on another cruise!
Hi all! I'm new to the whole bedrest thing, but I'm sure I'll be getting to know you all very well over the next few weeks. Good luck to all on keeping those babies in there for a while longer!
Name: DavisPT09
EDD: June 27, 2009
Type of Bedrest: Modified
Since when: April 28, 2009 (31w3d)
Reason: Started having irregular contractions. I'm already 1cm, 70% effaced, and cervix is soft. Good news is my cervix was still measuring long and fFN was negative.
Favorite Vacation: Our honeymoon in Florida. Spent a few days in Orlando and then spent the rest on St. Pete Beach!
I have my 28 week apt. tomorrow to see if they want to keep me on bedrest, also seeing my new doc for the first time, and moving this weekend!
QOTD: Definitely our honeymoon to Palm Dessert, CA! It was unbelievably relaxing and surprisingly very pretty for the dessert!
Update on the boys:
Baby A weighed 5 lbs. 10 oz. and Baby B weighed 5 lb. 2 oz. They both scored 8/8 on the BPPs.
Mommy just needs to keep them cooking for a few more weeks! My goal is to bring them home with me so I want their weights up just a little more before they make their appearance!
HEY GIRLS!!
My appointment went well yesterday. My BP top number was back down to normal but my bottom number was still in the 90's. I am working on a quilt for Callie and have gotten 20 out of 64 squares sewn together!! At this rate it should only take me 3 or 4 more days to get the front done!
My family goes to Ocean Isle Beach every year and below is a pic of me and DH last year. I just LOVE it there!! It is a VERY family oriented beach!
No new updates just trying to take it easy...
QOTD: Fave vacation spot hands down is St John in the Virgin Islands. It is a bit of a trek to get there, fly in to St Thomas and then take a boat to St John but it is soooo worth it! We went there for our wedding / honeymoon and both of us are dying to go back! If I could figure out how to post a pix, I would but apparently I'm technology challenged.
No new updates...
Favorite vacation was my honeymoon in Playa Del Carmen.
