Hi Ladies! Sorry I've been a bit absent this week - between chasing my Baby C on the monitor 6 hours a day (he was refusing to be monitored without me holding the darned monitor for an entire session), working from the hospital bed, and then sleeping whenever I could, I've mostly just been trying to offer support but haven't had much time to write about myself.
So belated congrats to @staceymack on the birth of her little ones! So happy for her . And congrats to everyone for the great milestones last week.
Anyways, passed 27 weeks this Thursday and right now laser focused on 28 this Thursday. It's so hard to believe we've nearly made it to this milestone with three healthy babies, which seems a million miles away from being given horrible odds 17 weeks ago. Nights have been good - taking the ambien at my last monitoring (from 10-11) lets me pass out right away and now that C allows monitoring without me holding it, I can doze through the 5-6am monitoring.
About the only bad thing right now is I've lost weight since I came into the hospital, which is not good given that they wanted me to put on another 20 over the next five weeks. Apparently the hospital food (which I've been eating really pretty well) is made of fat free air and a little protein. So, I'm trying to add extra ensure and order in more food... given that every time I eat I can't breathe, I don't know how I'm going to get too much more down there, but we'll see.
QOTD: I really wanted to be a doctor - until I realized that no matter how much I loved chemistry - it did not love me. I understood the principles but constantly mixed up the actual equations and fully failed a college chemistry test after studying like crazy. So yeah, that was the end of that!
I had kind of a crappy night sleeping last night. I went to sleep at 1 and woke up at 6 starving. DH is heading to McDonalds to get me food, and I'm pretty sure I will crash out again after that. I'm hoping DH will put together the changing table this afternoon. I really want to get some things organized, and I can't really do that without having the changing table up.
QOTD: The first thing I remember wanting to be was a teacher. I am now working towards my English teaching degree for high school students.
Morning... I have been sleeping so well these nights. Not taking that afternoon nap has really allowed me to sleep at night. I just woke up 15 mins ago to my little one kicking me. She seems to have her sleep routine down pack also.
Qotd: I wanted to be writer. It didn't matter if it was for a new paper or magazine I just wanted to write. I lost my passion when I went to high school and lost track. I am currently in the medical field for the past 10-11yrs
Slept pretty well but I've had a constant dull headache the last couple days. Hoping its just third trimester stuff and not my bp.
I'll be 29 weeks on Tuesday! By the time I hit Friday I feel like I'm in the next week because the weekend goes so fast. Kind of nice.
QOTD: I wanted to be a mom, so yes! I also wanted to be an artist. Although I don't have a career in art, I've still been able to follow my passion. Anything artsy or creative, I'm all in! I also taught an after school art enrichment program to 2-5 graders. That was lots of fun!
Good morning everyone and thank you for the warm welcoming and encouraging words. I slept well after a very emotionally charged day yesterday so I had a good night! Fiancée and his dad are currently packing up the house I currently own but haven't lived in for over a year... And I feel badly I'm no help I'm looking forward to closing on it next month so the added stress is off my shoulders! QOTD: I wanted to be an actress! I'm a nurse instead lol
No changes my bp has been higher than normal the last two days. Contractions have eased. Im so ready to go home ive only been in here since the friday before last but I miss home like crazy.
My night was pretty good. I woke up with some horrible side pain but feel back asleep fairly easy. Anyone else been snoring like crazy during pregnancy? I never snored before but my fiancé tells me I do it all the time now poor guy sleep on the couch last night because I kept waking him up. ill be 26 weeks tomorrow!! Only a couple more weeks until we hit our next milestone...28 weeks!
Update: 27w 4d slept ok last night. Kept getting up to use the restroom and shifting due to hip pain. Had strange dreams too. Hoping to have an uneventful day, weeks, months. Confirmed with my OB and MFM that I am here until 34 weeks. I have been here since 24 weeks. Both babies looked great on the u/s yesterday.
QOTD: Until I was 5, I wanted to be a princess. Since my dad didn't seem to have a kingdom, I had to nix that. Then I wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic. I realized that I hate camping. Then I wanted to be a lawyer - like LA Law. I actually stuck with that until I worked in a law office in college and was bored senseless. I'm a project manager now and it works very well with my organizational skills.

I slept pretty good last night. No milestones right now, but my Dr apt yesterday went well.
QOTD: When I was little I wanted to be an archeologist like Indiana Jones or a private eye because I loved Nancy Drew. I know, so practical. I am now a high school special education teacher.
Morning ladies! I cannot believe that we are 34 weeks today!!!!!!! The countdown is on!!! 52 hours until we meet our little miracle girl! I'm getting so very excited! When we started bed rest at 14 weeks I thought there was no way on earth we would make it this far! Such a huge blessing!
I slept great last night and I am looking forward to seeing my sister, who drove up to visit last night! Praying for an easy and relaxing weekend for everyone!
QOTD... I always wanted to be a large veterinarian and be well known for my cutting edge research....... That is, until halfway through my undergrad when I met a certain man who swept me off my feet lol! Now I'm a stay at home Mom and absolutely love it! Someday I'll go back and get my masters, but in psychology instead, as I've discovered my true passion is working with children with behavioral disabilities. But I am hoping to stay home with the kiddos until they are at least in preschool, so that's a ways down the road.
I slept well last night. My fiance is working two doubles this weekend, so that sucks. I hate when this happens. Yesterday I was so sick for about 5-6 hours. I could hold anything down, severe, vision compromising headache, racing pulse. It was awful! Trying to stay positive and focus on Wednesday- 34 weeks!
QOTD- I wanted to be an archaeologist and a lawyer at different points. I'm a Montessori teacher for 3-6 year olds!
My night was ok, I slept but I definitely tossed and turned. My back hurts this morning. My sis, BIL and niece will be coming to visit later, since I have wheelchair privileges back I can down to the lobby to and outside for a little bit.
QOTD: I'm sure I wanted to be a bunch of different things, the only one I remember though is a teacher. I did start out in a teaching program in school, but then I changed my mind and got my BA in psychology. However, I am a TA in a special ed therapeutic kindergarten class. I had started a PsyD program while in FL, but then I had DD and wasn't able to finish.
Ha, I finished this a while ago, but forgot to click post!
@KaleighM Congratulations and how exciting!
Congratulations to everyone else on approaching milestones, T&P to all of you!
Not a very restful sleep, but grabbed some minutes here and there.
I wanted to be a gymnast or dancer, but you have to have *some* kind of grace to do that! Never wanted or dreamed about being a teacher, funny enough. Decided that senior year and even after college was convinced I didn't want to do it long. I wanted to do more 1:1 work and be a child psychologist. 15 years later, love it!
I love seeing all these great updates and milestones! I can't believe that I'll be 38 stinkin' weeks on monday! holy cow!
My parents took DS this morning. DH and I had breakfast and then both fell back asleep until it was time for us to go pick DS back up (at NOON) holy cow!
My bp is good today, thankfully. We'll see how long that lasts though. Contractions have picked up, hoping that means something sometime soon--but i doubt it with all the ptl crap These feel the same. wahh
25 weeks today! I have been on BR since 7/23 with the assumption that they were going to come at any time and I wouldn't make it this long, so ha ha doctors my babies are just like their mama, strong and stubborn!
I don't know if the babies have chunked up quite a bit in the last week or what but I keep waking up at night to pee! I did that in the 1st trimester but then it went away until I hit 24 weeks last Saturday. So sleeping is going well except for that and the occasional hip/leg pain that causes me to wake up and cry, rub my leg, roll over and pass back out.
QOTD: I always wanted to be a NICU nurse but I didn't want to go through dealing with adults to get the training to get there! I have my degree in Health Information Technology and have 1 class left until I have my degree as a Medical Administrative Assistant.

Make a pregnancy ticker
My night was good. Waking up with sore sides and hips but other then that I'm good
We hit 29 weeks yesterday!! So rediculous happy it's sickening!
QOTD: I always wanted to an executive. Someone with a briefcase and traveled and in sales. Then I became a research RN. So yeah.
