    I'm baaaack! 1. Why are you on bed rest & what type (modified, strict, hospital...)? Went in for routine OB appt, was severely dehydrated, cervix shrunk again to 2cm this time, and Low pressure with BH. took ffN test, it was negative (!!!). Modified, no driving, and pelvic rest. 2. How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? Physically I am contracting like a mo-Fo. Every 6-8 minutes so I am monitoring those, probably going to call the dr soon. It's been going on since yesterday evening. Emotionally, I am doing okay I think. I mean, we have everything we need for baby and if he comes now the NICU here can keep him. So that's good. 3. How are you keeping yourself busy/entertained? Well, SO and I are doing a courthouse wedding before baby gets here and a ceremony either this summer or next. So my mom is officially bugging me for what I want for the wedding as far as decor and such. So I guess I'm planning my wedding! It's fun :) 4. Any new projects you're working on that you'd like to share? Or books, movies, etc.. that you would recommend? I just decorated a wreath for the front door- which means I glittered a wooden "T" and tied that and a red ribbon to it ;) it's cute tho. And we've started watching The Tudors. It's pretty good so far. QOTW: What are your holiday plans? Nada. Stay put in our little house! It's the first time since we started dating that we will be home together for christmas! The first year, he was deployed but flew me to South America for Christmas with him and last year he was deployed again and I was with my family taking care of my dad and his cancer appointments. So a quiet Christmas at home, just us is just what we want :D edited for spelling

    1. I'm on modified bed rest due to contractions. Cervix looked good last time and no dilation or cervical changes as of last Monday. I went into PTL with DS at 32 weeks and had the same issues I am having now. I'm on Procardia for contractions and I hate that stuff... makes me have headaches and feel awful :(

    2. Physically- WEAK... I miss being active :(  Emotionally- Depends on the day. I don't want him to come too early or have NICU time. I worry about not being able to be the best mommy to my 3.5 year old...

    3. Laundry, sorting baby clothes, cooking, organizing... all in spurts of course. In 2 weeks DH will be off for 2 weeks for Christmas. I'm looking forward to that!

    4. Nothing new.... I'm not crafty and don't have time to read until DS goes to bed or naps... but by those times I'm ready for bed or a nap myself. :P

    Holiday Plans- 2 weeks with DH off work (YIPEE!!!) He's going to sand/strip/paint the furniture in DS 1's room and help finish some other nursery stuff. We're taking DS on a train ride "The Polar Bear Express" to see Santa/Mrs. Clause and have hot cocoa... super excited about that! Then lots of time with family. I'm looking forward to Christmas!

    1. Why are you on bed rest & what type (modified, strict, hospital...)? I'm on bed rest for PTL, Pre E and fibromyalgia. Strict bed rest, only up to pee and shower basically.

    2. How are you feeling, physically and emotionally? Physically I'm always in pain from the fibro. I'm tired of taking meds but they are working to keep LO in as long as possible. Emotionally I'm good. I just try and continue to have faith that Gods going to work everything out.

    3. How are you keeping yourself busy/entertained? Netflix, occasional bumping and sleep.

    4. Any new projects you're working on that you'd like to share? Or books, movies, etc.. that you would recommend? I don't have any but interested to hear what others say. I did watch two seasons of Once Upon A Time and loved it!
