- How far along? EDD? 30 weeks / April 1
- How is everyone feeling this week? I have a terrible head cold - first time I've been sick all pregnancy, if you can believe it. What I'd give for some nyquil, but oh well I'm toughing it out drug free.
- Any upcoming appointments? U/S and biophysical at 32 weeks (I'll be having these regularly because of preexisting hypertension, though my BP has been okay lately).
- GTKY: What are your essential items you plan to take in your hospital bag? Oooof, haven't even thought about this yet. I appreciate all of your lists!
- Don't forget about HDBD or PIP your nursery! We are going paint shopping and crib shopping this weekend-really looking forward to getting started on the nursery.

@halips Hate to hear about your husband's job. Hopefully it's a blessing in disguise and he can find something he really enjoys doing. Hope you have good appts tomorrow!
@more14 So glad your scare was nothing to worry about! Hope your son is feeling better!
@scikap So sorry you are dealing with a head cold! I had the same mess most of December. Hopefully you can get some relief soon!! I found vapor rub helped me a little with being able to breathe a little better.

I noticed red on the TP a little after noon. Of course doctor said go to the hospital and it looks like they're keeping me here for the night and ultrasound tomorrow. I do feel my belly tightening every now and then but I don't know how much of it is me being tired and very hungry (haven't eaten since this morning and it's already night), and how much is because something might be going on in there.
I'm not too concerned. I rather see where things are headed before I freak out that baby might be here earlier then expected.
Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can go home tomorrow!

@kristimh80 Your nursery is fantastic! Will you share with me where you got that chair and how comfortable it is? I’m having the hardest time since I’m picky about comfort and my husband is really tall.

A few retailer sell it but they go out of stock a lot. It is a power glider and recliner. Also has a USB port on the side so can charge your phone, etc. It's really comfortable! We looked at so many and there is another one called Kiwi that's more expensive but similar, but not as comfortable.

@more14 I'm glad you're being observed, keep us posted on how things are going!!
@mayflower513 you are so close - and maybe closer than you think based on the latest symptoms. Eeek so excited for you!
@kristimh80 Your nursery is GORGEOUS. And thanks for linking the glider - we are searching for one and haven't yet found one we love. Did you try it out in person before buying it?
@halips sorry to hear about your husband's job. I hope he finds something new soon, and you're able to enjoy some extra time with him home when baby gets here without stressing about it being TOO much time that he's not working - fingers crossed for just the right balance (which sounds weird to say about losing a job, but hopefully it makes sense).
@mayflower513 eek! So exciting!!
@uterusdreams Thank you, it totally makes sense and I'm hoping that's how it works out I'm sorry to hear you still don't have any real answer related to your fluid. I'm glad they are watching it though and don't seem to be concerned.
AFM: My OB/NST today was eventful, sort of. Baby boy did his thing and passed the NST with flying colors. However, my bp is creeping up again. It was 152/88 this morning at the office. At home it was 142/86. OB is requiring me to come to twice a week appts starting this week and for the next 2 weeks. He also did my strep b swab and checked my cervix while I was there. baby has fully dropped down into my pelvis, which explains all the pressure I feel. I'm also 1cm dilated. He then said, so baby will be out no later than Feb 10, but it also could be this weekend. Ok, thanks Doc! lol It's getting real over here! I'm hoping baby hangs out at least until Feb 1.

@uterusdreams Yes, we have a place here called Nebraska Furniture Mart and knew right away it was probably the one. But of course was early pregnancy, so were slackers! Then was on a big hunt for it b/c everyone kept selling out lol But I really like it. It's a good size for a nursery and I feel could be incorporated into regular furniture later. It's not bulky like a regular recliner. Glad your u/s and fetal echos went well yesterday!!

I'm so sorry about the job -- I know it must be super stressful, but I agree that you can look at it as a blessing in disguise. He'll get to spend a lot of bonding time with baby and will likely find a job more attuned with his new outlook as daddy -- maybe a better pension program or more flex time, etc. I would take it as a sign to chill a bit, do a good job search when he's ready and spend time as a new family! I know it can be stressful thinking about finances, but our most valuable asset is time since it's the only thing you can't replace. You'll recover from this bump financially I'm sure but you will both really value this extra time in the future. It can't be bought!

Everything is still stable but the doctors don't want to take the chance things will take a turn for the worse so baby girl will make her grand appearance tomorrow.
Please keep your fingers crossed we will both be ok and baby will be good to stay with me and not go to NICU. Lungs are supposed to be working properly, so the main concern is weight and ability to keep levels of blood sugar. We actually had the same with my boys but they both managed to stay out of NICU so I'm hoping she'll do the same.
I promise to update the moment I can
@kristimh80 I never check in for week 4 on the BMB but so excited for you both and happy to watch your journey! We're almost there!! I'd post so much more but I hate this bleeping app and at work I have zero time for personal interwebs -
Good luck to you and your little one! I'm sure everything will go well and look forward to seeing pictures!

@kbear28 Hey girl! It's good hearing from you!! I don't blame you, I never use the app and if on my phone only use regular webpage, as the app can be glitchy. Did you join the BMB facebook? Lots are going on there now, so maybe easier for you

The construction is just annoying because the guys are very set in the order of operations and not willing to change the order of things to get them done when one thing doesn’t get there on time. And the stuff not getting there on time is because my husband delays answering questions and just waits til the last minute for things and won’t push people. And he is a project manager in construction for a living so I have a REALLY hard time not asking if this is how he manages his jobs... because if it is I’m scared!
No more contractions, just a little cramping, so I doubt much is happening. I am going to have my doctor check me today just because I’m curious if anything HAS been happening.
@more14 good luck!! I hope you and baby are doing well, can’t wait to meet the little one!!

Ugh, I know how frustrating construction can be. We had two major leaks in 2017 that ended up in a complete redo of our master bath (since they also found mold) and a ton of plumbing work in the guest bath and then some more renovation in early 2018.
So exciting that your 'eviction' is coming up!! They usually require you to be in the hospital for 48-72 hours after the c/s. I had my c/s on Monday and was discharged Thurs AM (my OB rotates in the morning and Wednesday AM was too early for my discharge; I hadn't been moved to postpartum until mid-day Tuesday anyway.) Sometimes you can talk them into earlier, but the insurance generally requires at least 48 hours.
