staceymack

Sorry ladies!! I was out cold! 

Without further delay.... How was your night? 

Any plans today? Milestone? 

Wallace, we're thinking of you! 

QOTD what's your biggest pet peeve while on br?

Well I am new to the bedrest scene, this is my first check in...

I am on Hospital bed rest for at least this week. Not sure what the plan will be after this. Night was okay. The iv I had busted but not before the saline/calcium drip they were giving me pooled up under my skin making my hand and wrist look like a club! New IV in my right hand now, a bit more uncomfortable.

 

No plans today except to do some online shopping maybe?  Not sure I have a pet peeve yet as this is my first stint!

My night was spent up and down peeing and battling hip pain. As most know I got a good nap this morning, haha! I can get 8 hours of sleep is just takes several tries! 

Nothing exciting today except getting some alone time. Someone from my family is here around the clock when DH is working. Even though I feel so isolated in this bedroom, I'm looking forward to it just being me! 

QOTD: I'm such a type A control freak. My biggest pet peeve is watching others clean or do something for me. I just want to bust out of bed and say let me do it!

Congrats on the new week Harley!

My night was like the last 12 have been. Woken up every 4 hours for vitals and baby check and of course I have to pee every hour or so. So not much solid sleep. Hubby came up super early before work with a delicious breakfast for me. Such a great man.

I think we are all pretty similar with the HBR that being waited on is a pet peeve as we are all probable type A personalities. I certainly am and can't stand to see people do stuff for me! But it's all for a good cause.

Sending out positive vibes to all your ladies and your babies!! Keep cookin LO's!

My night was okay until I heard Dh up with the same junk our DS had over the weekend.

Today marks 34 weeks. Had a nst today, all is well!

Qotd: when people come to bring dinner and stay for a long time. I'm not supposed to be out of bed, I appreciate you being so selfless and bringing my family dinner, but I'm too tired and contractiony to sit up and visit. Yes, I realize this sounds really crappy....

My night was ok.

I think my MIL is coming over later with my niece, otherwise nothing going on.

I haven't really set any milestones as far as weeks. I guess I'm just trying to get through one day at a time. My biggest milestone I guess would be to make it on home bed rest at least til 34 weeks. My ob said if I have another bleed before 34 weeks I will have to stay in the hospital til delivery. I'm really hoping to make it to our baby shower which is on my birthday Aug 24th.

My biggest pet peeve is that I will see something that needs to be done and tell my husband to do it, but hours or even the next day, it still isn't done. He works overnights, so I am trying to cut him some slack, and I try to let him sleep as long as possible when he gets home. It's very frustrating that then he'll get up and just sit and watch tv in the living room, and make dinner. I have to practically yell at him to get dishes and laundry done. In fact there are a pile of dishes on the living room table that are all his, that I've asked him 3 times to clean up...grr.

Ok sorry vent over.

I hope everyone else is having a good day!

Hi everyone!!

 Slept well last night.  26 weeks today, looking forward to 27 & 28.

I'm the only person on the antepartum floor which is weird.  I hope they don't move me but I'd understand if they did to not pay for a nurse for only one patient.

 My biggest pet peeve is the amount of people who come in early in the am on HBR.  I know they're only doing their job but I'm so ready to go home  

Congrats Harley!

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the shout out. We are home and safe and sound for now. Besides an upset stomach (from the meds i guess) and just the general pregnancy pains my partner is doing well! When we were discharged even our MFM said they were shocked we made it through without having to deliver the babies, what a relief everything is okay for now.

Lots of doctors this week... Wednesday we go back to CHOP, thursday is the MFM, and Friday is the OB.

One of the scariest things, besides thinking we were going to deliever early, was hitting the realization that our babies may have to be separated afer birth, from each other, and from us. Obviously it's what is right for the health of everyone, but actually getting to the point where it became "real" was very difficult. I guess now we have more time to get used to the idea. If we do go into labor like we did last week we will have to have the babies close to home, they will stabalize Baby A and they fly her to CHOP. It's just such a scary thought.

Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm glad you are home, and the babies are still safely inside!

Prayers continuing for you all!

My night was okay.  Wallace, glad to see you are home.  Harley, I hope they don't move you-- it's a pain constantly moving rooms.

 

QOTD:   I would have to say like every one else, it is having people do stuff I wish I could do for myself.   

staceymack

Wallace, so glad you guys are home and the babies are still cooking. Those are scary thoughts but it will all work out in the end!

Congratulations, Harley!

Angel, I can totally relate. I try to not sound ungrateful but I'd rather watch paint dry than to wait for my husband to do something I've asked.

 Welcome, stretchad!

This is my first check-in. I was just put on bed rest this week. I have a SCH that keeps getting bigger along with PIH. My doctor is hoping to get to a minimum of 34 weeks, I'm holding out hope for 37 weeks.

The toughest part so far is not being able to care for my son (2yrs old). My mom is here helping until tomorrow and then we will have a mix of paid babysitters, family, and friends helping out. It's rough on everyone.

Welcome to our new members of bed rest : keep those babies cooking.

Stacey your late check in scared me : glad you were just sleeping lol

Wallace good to know you and your partner are back home..

Congrats everyone for reaching their milestone lets keep this milestones coming :

Last night wasnt great. 4am and my eye still were still wide awake. I started to watch keeping up with the kardashsian. DH who wakes up at 5:30 woke up asking me to turn the tv off because he was sleeping but his mind wasn't completely asleep, yikes. After u turned off the tv I downloaded a dairy app. I just been having alot on my mind. Being on bedrest you have too much time to think so I decided to log it. After 30mins forced myself to go to sleep.

Got up today to make my own lunch because my wonderful hubby only leaves me an apple and cracker. Seriously dude

Pet peeve. Knowing the DH is cooking and not knowing what condition he has left my kitchen

Glad you all are home Wallace!

Congrats on your milestone, Harley!

Congratulations to anyone else hitting milestones that I might have missed and welcome to new people!

It's not been a good day.  No sleep and lots of contractions, combined with a headache make for a cranky me.  Blech, enough whining from me.

26 weeks tomorrow and my weekly checkup on Thursday are my only milestone events.

My pet peeve is similar to some of you.  I hate not being able to help my SO more and that coworkers and friends are so worried.  Just want to hide for awhile and be forgotten.

Welcome all of the new bed rest ladies!

Nothing exciting here, I'm waiting on DH to get home for dinner, I'm starving!

Qotd: when mother gets upset that other people visit me specifically my sil as though she expects to be the only one who should visit with me and that I don't ask her to visit often enough...because she drives me crazy.

Hello!

i am struggling to sleep at night.   I can be almost out on the couch, but when I move to bed, I'm still up five hours later.  It's so frustrating!  While I was in the hospital Sat night, they gave me an Ambien.  I managed to fall asleep, but was up 2 hrs later and could not fall back to sleep.

Went to the OB today and now he seems unsure if I need to be on bed rest.  I feel like a yo- yo!  I go back to him tomorrow and will go to a MFM dr on Wed.  As of now, telling work I have to take it day-by-day until he decides.  I guess that covers my newbie pet peeve!  Hang in there, ladies!
