Re: Thursday Bedrest Check In
I slept good. I've noticed when I don't sleep all morning into afternoon my night sleeps are awesome. I have to try keeping my eyes open during my boring mornings.
Yesterday I told DH to stay home from work. I stopped by my job which they haven't seen me in 19wks. Everyone was so excited to see me and couldn't believe how big my belly is. I've only gained 10 pounds so its all belly :-) I then went to Ikea to buy LO a dresser. She isn't here yet and already taking over my apartment!
I had major anxiety yesterday. Not use to baby not moving so often. Thankfully I know a trick lol. After crying because I was worried. I have a song by Christina perri called thousand years that I've been playing for her since she was a poppy seed and everytime I play it she moves. Last night I got my 10 kicks in ten mins and released a sigh of relief :-)
Qotd: I was very much a tomboy. 95% of my friends were boys. I was into sports and just hanging out. I experimented a little with weed and beers. In HS my 1st two yrs were horrible. Around 17 I slowly woke up and realized if I continued the way I was going I would never be anything. I stopped smoking and put all my time into school. Ended up graduating a yr later but with honors and school president. My mom was the type to let me learn from my mistakes. I am not sure if I would take that approach with my daughter but I can definitely say she won't be able to pull many things over me because been there done that!! Lol I was the type of teenage that did many things but my friends parents loved me because I never had a bad reputation.
I slept terrible last night. I was cramping all night and could not decide if I should go into labor and delivery or not. I ended up staying home and the cramping finally just subsided a bit. I am having such a hard time differentiating between cramping and contractions, it all feels the same to me! And there is no rhyme or reason as to why it happens.
Qotd: I was a total tomboy also as a teenager! I am still a tomboy for that matter.
Good morning. Slept ok last night. I'm eyeing up the vegetable juice in the fridge and planning on making a mock bloody mary for thirsty Thursday :-)
34 weeks today- so happy to hit this milestone!
QOTD- noticing a trend here, I was a tomboy as well and played sports year round. With all the sports and clubs and everything I was involved in, I didn't have time to even think about getting into trouble, but I also never felt any need to rebel, so I was kind of the perfect teenager, lol. For that reason, it makes it hard for me to relate to my teenage step-daughter, because she's the complete opposite and wants to rebel against everything (which is what her dad was like at her age). I keep telling my husband that I don't mind if baby looks just like him, but I hope that baby has my personality and athletic ability!
I slept pretty good last night! I only had to pee once too, it was amazing. I forgot how it feels to actually sleep I miss it lol. SO finally got into the doctor and has a nasty sinus infection and could be on his way to bronchitis.
Anyone know of any tricks for Charlie horses. I got a very intense one when I woke up to go to the bathroom and there seemed to be no reason at all (I was hydrated I keep water within reach at all times and am constantly
drinking).
QOTD: I was a really good kid until I hit about 16 then I discovered I could go to bon fires and parties and stay at friends houses after drinking and still ride my horses. My mom doesn't think I was too bad so I hope I really wasn't because looking back I feel terrible about some of it. But she also says if I didn't do it I would have never learned.
How did everyone sleep?
Worry wart was up again at 4:45 this morning but I was able to fall back asleep for a little bit. I woke up with a ton of pressure that wouldn't let up, even elevated so my overtired mind went wild. During the day I am less worrisome. This has just been the cycle lately.
Milestones, updates, appts?
Nothing huge, still on the countdown to beat my last pregnancy...12 more days.
Qotd: what kind of teenager were you growing up?
25 and 4 today, c'mon 28 weeks. We can do it!
I was part of the "cross country cult" all my friends were runners and still are. I was very busy with those sports. I never really got in trouble. I took advantage of that because I was considered a "good kid", I frequently wrote myself letters to leave school early and signed my moms name. Never got caught! I had good grades so no one suspected. My first drink ever was august right before college.
BFP #2 (5/18/13) due 1/26/14. Grow baby grow!
Its a surprise! Team green!
I'm going out on a limb- but my drink of choice is a margarita, no salt but since I can't have that I'd like some Starbucks. I have to ask nurses to get me everything- so my caffeine intake is zilch for the most part of two weeks. I guess the water is good. But boring.
Milestone yesterday- 32+1- yeah! Come on 34w! Had mt weekly thursday US and got the 'Silent US tech' that we had Monday too. I know they don't really tell you what's going on, but most give you a detail or 2. This lady is just silent and it always makes me worry. Then she started poking my belly weird ,asking about my breaskfast then bring me crackers and juice. I dont know why I didn't ask what she was doing. Then she comes back to check again and FINALLY informs me she was just trying to get LO to squirm. As if it's not bad enough, they give me a 10 min warning before the take me to US at like 7:45- it's not like I have a full kitchen in my hospital room to make some pancakes!!! Anyways- MFM doc said everything s great, fluid is up another point since Monday and apparently LO has gone from breech to transverse.
Hmm, growing up I was pretty active in sports- mostly swimming and guess I was a pretty good kid. I am an only child so my parents probably thought any trouble I got in was way worse than it really was. Now, at 36, they like to dwell on a few 'trouble maker' stories- I want to tell them that it could be WAY worse!

- 30w+1- pPROM and hospital bed rest till DD comes
So nice to see everyone's gestation climbing quickly :-) I'm 25w 4d. Got a good night sleep last night, so today I feel pretty well rested. Anyone else having some GI issues? I have one extreme or the other in the bowel department and can't seem to find a happy medium. Sorry, kind of TMI, but I'm sure everyone can relate. This whole bed rest thing is throwing my body for a loop. I ate a ton of dried apricots yesterday and has massive cramping and all that comes with it. Prior to that I was not going at all
QOTD: Like a lot of PPs, I was heavy into sports. I was kind of a goody goody. Got good grades, followed rules; boring stuff. Didn't really drink or anything until college. My parents were lucky
