Hi BR moms. Hope you're all doing well today!!

How did you sleep?

Any new pregnancy symptoms, cravings, or aversions?

Upcoming appointments, milestones, or updates? (Ticker change?)

QOTD: What are some things that really help cheer you up while you've been on br? Are there certain people or activities that just make the day better for you? Please share...

    Hello fellow BR mommas!!

    I slept really well last night. Except for the fact that I had to get up about a million times to pee. :P

    The only really "new" pregnancy symptom, and it's not really new, it's just getting more uncomfortable, is I seem to be carrying LO pretty high. I feel like it's been forever since I had a full breath!

    My next appointment will be next Monday. Hoping to have the clot looked at again to see if any progress has been made since starting medication.

    I have been feeling pretty down about being on br. The thing that really cheers me up is watching old Disney movies. I also started the tv show Bones yesterday. Hopefully I'll be hooked, since there's tons of seasons of that show. :P

    Hope everyone is doing well!!

    Finally slept well last night! It was heaven.

    Nothing else new.

    Kinda excited for NST, doc appt tomorrow, it gives my day some structure!

    QOTD: The Bump has helped a lot, I'm actually loving troll drama and stupid questions that lead to gif wars. It's great distraction. DS is a great spirit lifter as well. I've also developed a somewhat intense online shopping habit.

    I was awake from 2am-6am this morning. First to pee, then couldn't sleep due to some horrid heartburn, then was starving. Fun fun.

    Nothing new. Appt in 2 days with NST.

    QOTD: my mom is pretty great. She only works 3 days a week so she comes to keep me company on her days off, which are usually during the week when my husband is at work. It's nice to do my "bed resting" at my parents house too just for a change of scenery. My husband signed me up for netflix and I watched the entire first season of Orange is the New Black in one week - such a good show! It also makes me happy when friends text just to see how I'm doing, it really brightens my day. Of course I love lurking (not a huge poster) all over the Bump as well!

    I slept like crap last night. Between getting up to pee and blowing my nose I have no idea how I got any sleep. My 4 year old shared his lovely cold germs with his mama.

    No new cravings/aversions. I've been dealing with more heartburn so I'm sure the little guy is growing like a weed in there.

    I had my weekly progesterone shot today, got all of my short term disability paperwork figured out and also got my Tdap shot. Nurse mentioned I will probably starts NST twice a week here soon.

    As much as my son drives me crazy some days he really brightens my day. He knows that mommy has to take it easy so my belly doesn't hurt and his brother stays inside longer. DH is also a god send keeping me sane most days. I watched the first 3 seasons of the Walking Dead on Netflix. I'm hoping this last season gets uploaded soon so we can watch it. Netflix keeps me occupied most days. Lots to watch and catch up on.

    I'm probably I getting close to an hour and a half of sleep at a time, then it's up to the restroom or for a quick walk to the kitchen just to get some blood flow to my legs/feet because the swelling is RIDICULOUS!!!

    Cravings.... lol I'm still craving smells. Fabuloso all purpose cleaner, Mr. Clean with Gain scent, Dh's Irish Spring body wash, my relaxing bedtime foaming bath oil/body wash, and Dreft baby detergent. I just want to smell clean things... like NOT flowery, perfume scents

    2 days until my last 17p injection and 6 days until I ditch the stitch!! Woooo!!

    My nephew and niece are the ones who can brighten up my day the quickest. Baby room planning was pretty fun too. visitors and naps make the time go faster. And some super addicting web activity on Pinterest and baby registry planning on Target, BRU, and Etsy were also a big help

    Sleep? What's that?! I started getting Braxton hicks a few times a day and they kept me up on mon. Night but tonight I'm just awake:( thank god we can nap during the day. I go for another cervical check on Thursday and hope it's maintaining which means I can still move around a bit. My Aunt is taking me shopping today with my grandmas wheel chair for some new maternity clothes and I also wanted to buy some of the babies bath towels and wash clothes from target because they look so much cuter than BRU or PB where I'm registering. I've also started Call the Midwife on Netflix and really like it so far- I am so glad I don't have to have a home birth like that though!family and friends have been visiting and calling and as long as I have a few things scheduled each week I think I can do this. Baby hit viability this week at 24 even though my MFM says it's 23:)
