Hi ladies just thought I would see how all the current bed resters are doing.
Any updates and/or appointments?
Any favorite books/games/shows/activities?

Re: Bed rest'ers check in
Hi! How're you doing? We're doing as well as can be expected right now. Every day is a huge blessing!
The OB comes in every morning to check on me and the nurse every few hours. They're doing NSTs every morning which we're passing with flying colors.
My favorite show is Vampire Diaries, although I think I'l be rewatching Buffy and Angel soon. Might start Supernatural. Right now I'm just reading trashy celeb mags but my all time favorite series is by Kim Harrison. I highly recommend it!
I'm doing pretty good. NST and BPP went good yesterday. No further dilation yet (still 1cm) but had a little more effacement. Baby boy is ~5 lb 15 oz and baby girl is ~4lb 9 oz. would love for her to get a little bigger. Each day is a victory for sure.
I started watching Downton Abbey on Netflix. Not exactly an edge of your seat kind of show. My friend brought me some Chelsea Handler books so I might put down my twin books and read those next.

I have decided that I am the world's biggest wimp when it comes to this. 2 days and I'm getting stir crazy and seriously considering strapping myself to the couch so I don't start tidying the house or doing a load of laundry--and I'm only on modified (not strict at all) bed-rest.
Appointment with MFM for check on Monday and then (hopefully) we'll know if bed-rest is going to continue, get more strict, or go away. Though I'm not sure what how I'm gonna deal if I'm supposed to do this for the next 20+ weeks.
Happy to see so many positive check-ins from the others
Hi ladies just thought I would see how all the current bed resters are doing.
Doing Well. Just pretty tired.
Any updates and/or appointments? NST's every morning are going well but babies kick and move the monitors all the time so it takes much longer than most. They are growing well and moving all over the place.
We hit 30 weeks on Wednesday (woo hoo) every day is a victory.
Any favorite books/games/shows/activities? About to start reading the Hunger Games. Writing my Shower thank cards and then taxes (which strangely enough relaxes me)
Glad to see everyone is hanging in there.
