Thanks @amc25! Any time my pregnancy does something outside of "textbook" I worry. I've been eating stuff with good nutrition (salad and veggies every lunch with a solid protein) but I've also eaten as many cookies and cake as I want... I've had an outrageous appetite this trimester.
Ohai! Thank you for all of the encouragement yesterday We were up at 2:20 this morning, but just to give another round of chewable Tylenol. It worked, they slept, and everyone is in much better moods this morning
obi, definitely stressful looking forward to it, but I keep trying to remember that at least I DO get to plan for this one. Being wheeled over from the MFM and told, sit still for now until the babies come.. figure out life from this bed, was definitely worse.
@callmekd Sadly, no. I think, if my MFM had her way, I'd already be sitting in the hospital. Any type of labor, contraction, water breakage with me not near an OR is so potentially deadly to this little one that she has made the comment "Well, I AM still letting you go home." I have plans though.. my mom will be here the day after I go in to stay with the older children until I get home. My hubby is okay with her taking up my role when it comes to carting the kids around in our car, making dinner, generally being a nanny. Of all of the grandparents, my mom is probably the only one that all of us would be comfortable having around for a long period of time. Soo blessed.
So.. anyone else's little bundle of baking joy making them hurt today? UGH! This child is WAY up high, which I am so greatful for, but ugh, I hurt! Carrying girls was definitely easier for me.
For those stuck taking iron.. I've been iron deficient most of my adult life so I've learned a few things. More expensive options that don't hit me like a brick are the time-release iron tablets from Slow FE, and the food based iron that you can get from places like Sprouts or Whole Foods. Just options Hate to see you guys even more tortured by this process.
Okay, off to cart the teens around to their activities.

I'm also having some serious mom guilt. I'm supposed to lay down a certain amount of time per day for my blood pressure and DS really doesn't understand. He wants me to play but I can't and I have the feels.
The neighboring school district to the one I live in has already called school off tomorrow due to cold. Many of my students said their parents were keeping them home if our district doesn't cancel. I'm torn between wanting to stay in bed with the pups and hot chocolate and wanting an easy day with only 40% of the kids at school.
Can you even count the day if only 40% show up? I think we can't count our day if more than 30% are absent.
I SO need a snow day tomorrow. We will see. *fingers crossed*
So... my doctor told me that I am not allowed to take walks anymore. He wrote me a note for work saying that I have to minimize walking due to high risk of preterm labor. I have been having lots of lightning bolt feelings in my cervix, so that is why. They didn't actually check my cervix though... which I feel like why wouldn't you? Maybe to minimize bacteria? But maybe I just am a noob.
So anyway, that's fun. Minimal walking! Here is where I will REALLY start to gain weight now that I am restricted from going around. How the eff am I supposed to do this when I take 10k steps around the school every day? I guess we will have to figure it out so they don't put me on bedrest... fml.
By the way, I hate pretty much everyone I've interacted with today.
I scheduled a meeting in early January with some of my coworkers to organize some of our shared students' schedules, and someone eyed my belly and said to me, "are you sure you'll even make it that far?"

Super late to this party. I had class for work today and it was awful. I felt like I was going to puke the entire time. Nausea puke not stomach bug puke. Here is my 26 week bump. I thought it looked smaller when I woke up Monday morning after my sickness Saturday.
So hard trying to rest with other little ones around @priss08. It suckd that they can't understand. Hope you csn sort out the walking situation and avoid bedrest cosmicav. Gorgeous bump pics all! I'm hopeless and can't figure out how to load mine despite months of trying. My day got a lot better fortunately. DH was able to come home early so I got to do a solo grocery and Starbucks run (at our brand new drive thru Starbucks that just opened today). I also got a workout in which made me feel better. My old dance school is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and doing an alumni dance. I won't be able to make the real thing since it's only a week before my edd but I'm going to the Christmas practice to catch up with old friends which means learning the dance and looking hilarious with my big baby bump.

A wheelchair maybe? I know that may seem extreme but how serious is the Dr? Like no walking ever or not past a certain step count?

Right now we are in "not past a certain step count" territory as long as things don't escalate (ETA he didnt actually give me a number though, just that I "REALLY need to slow it down" or else I am putting myself at risk). If there is a point where I am not allowed to walk around at all, I probably actually will use a wheelchair. I can hardly afford my maternity leave, let alone potentially having to be absent from work early.

A teacher my mom works with used one during a pregnancy. She was also high risk for preterm delivery and from what I remember it helped. I remember helping clean her overhead projector scroll after school, which she was using to not stand.
I mean, I don't really know if that's an option but...anecdotes and what not.
