If one more person tells me "ha ha you aren't going to make it to February!" Then I am going to lose my mind.
What an asshole thing to say! Wtaf is wrong with people?!
The worst is that sooo many people say this. I am a magnet for wtf-comments. A little while ago today, someone said that they thought I was going to have this baby at Christmas. Um no, but sorry that you are so trifling.
I was supposed to get a mole removed today. I get there and she doesn't want to do it because I'm "so far along and my stomach is just going to keep growing. "
I was just like..um ok. Why did you schedule me then? Wtf.
The delivery team is putting together our nursery furniture right now. I regularly have moments where I forget we are having a baby. I just can't picture it!
Thank you for the thoughts. I'm all checked in. My doctor has been by.. I have my food ordered for today and tomorrow. I'm sporting an oh so beautiful green patterned hospital gown.
Things different from last time that tell me this is a completely different type of dangerous.. - iv already in and will be changed weekly. Yuck. - constant monitoring of both contractions and heart beat (this one is okay because I love listening to his heartbeat and movements ) - support stockings to avoid blood clots.. ie. I'm in here for the long haul.
Already had the steroid shot for the lungs.. just in case. I'll have the other half tomorrow..dang it hurts I'll also have a second round of it assuming I make it to 35-1/2 weeks for the C-section at 36 weeks.
Stuff got real.. real fast. Thank God for Skype. I explained to the twins that I was going to be in the hospital from today on for awhile.. so they keep asking in their adorable almost three year old voices "Mommy, are you in the hospital?" and coming up with questions to try to justify why I'm here. Like. "Does your head hurt, mommy? Does your tummy hurt?"
For those of you stuck taking the three hour tests, I hope they all come out perfect and relieve that worry. I hope work isn't too tedious or stressful for those suffering through that.
I want to respond individually, but currently, I am exhausted. Between the little one holding a dance party at 1:30 a and the stress of knowing about this today, I got little sleep. Hopefully I can come back later
missi I know it must be hard to be away from the girls and in the hospital, but I hope you can get rest knowing that everything is being watched closely! I would have been an anxious wreck at home not knowing if/when something might happen- so at least now you're in a very safe place! Enjoy listening to that beautiful heartbeat and try to get some sleep
caer, @justinslovo, convince this hospital that Blizzard Entertainment games don't need to be blacklisted? ~laugh~ My dh works for that company and we both play the games. Ah well. My nurse was a sweetheart and got me a second bedside table! I love it. One is for my electronics / phone / paperwork.. the other is for my food / water.
madameovary, sure! I've been through bed rest before, but I sure don't mind more ideas. I have my cross stitch with me for the baby blanket.. I have my computer with games.. my 3DS to make my hubby and girls happy by playing Pokémon to keep up with them.. and cable tv. I thought about doing a puzzles, but that takes leaning over a table, so I nixed it May download a book or two onto the computer?
(You guys are noticing how much more active I am now that I don't have four kids pulling my attention? Hehe!)
@priss08, hope you got your brother motivated! It feels soo good to have more things done.
That reminds me.. DH's work has this program for health incentives that includes brain games types of things. (we're going to find too much for me to keep busy with and I'm not going to get the baby blanket finished. ^_^ Ah well!)
missi WHAT WHAT? You play Blizzard games? My H is playing WoW right now...actually, he has two monitors up and is playing WoW while also playing Hearthstone. I don't have the dedication to play WoW but I really enjoy Hearthstone!

I such a WoW addict still! lol I was a pretty dedicated raider before the twins. I miss that. It is still one of my dh's and my favorite things to do together on a daily basis As to Hearthstone, sadly, I have a Windows Phone still... and Hearthstone isn't on there. So, I'm stuck playing it through the bnet app, so no go. I think my mil was going to get us iphones.. or my dh thinks she is so maybe I'll be able to play it sometime this month?
(would you believe I'm enough of a gamer to have a tiny YouTube channel that I built to 100 subs before the twins bedrest shot me in the foot.. and 150 subs between the twins and this difficult pregnancy?)
I'm so tired today. I'm going to blame the weirdness on the 3 hour test. This afternoon DD had a follow up eye Dr appt to make sure he still thinks her eyes aren't crossed. She passed with flying colors!! Tomorrow afternoon we drop the dog off for a 2 week board and train program. She's been so much better with DD lately that I'm not really worried about them anymore but think some intensive training will be great before we start things over with her and baby #2
missi, I feel like I just learned so much more about you hahaha Hello, fellow nerd I wanted to do a twitch channel for hearthstone but 1) I'm not THAT good. My H is the really good one and B) I'm a teacher and think it might be weird to be a twitch streamer haha. I can't balance those two lives! Very cool about your youtube channel + subs!
So I am back from my appointment and trying to rest on the couch. I am so beat. (I'm always exhausted after appointments) My OB says that he thinks I should carry small candies around because my dizzy spells make him think blood sugar fluctuations. But I did pass the GTT so idk... I mean I will do it because hell yeah candy but ...yeah. He also told me to avoid sudden movements because that can screw with your blood pressure and it could be that too. They will keep checking on me each week in addition to my shot just to be sure.
Next full appointment (on the 18th) I am getting the GBS test and a cervix check. I will be 34 weeks then. I feel like shit is getting real.
@justinslovo, I can totally understand the widow thing! I am so glad that my dh and I play most games together.. when he gets into something like Fallout.. well, umm.. I get grumpy and lonely Gotta prioritize the people around you too!
mosdub, 3/4 of streaming is about likeability and the banter, and maybe 1/4 if you are capable CohhCarnage plays some games that he just isn't good at at first.. but he's built up an awesome channel of family / good vibes feel. No connection to him, he's just my favorite streamer for my dh to put up when he feels like he MUST have one on in the background I thought about doing some Twitch, but my dh claims there is a lot more setup to make sure no one can go all stalker on you and track you down by your ip. Honestly, though, do it if you want to (stream or do videos). The banter with subs is fun
cosmicav, these pregnancies can really throw our bodies for a loop. I'm glad you are okay! And heck yeah on candies! Just take care of yourself, slow down and respect that your body is working overtime on a side project there in your womb. Many women can go go go from start to finish (lookin' at some of you amazing women on this board!).. some of us have to slow down (or stop in my case) and let our bodies take care of the tiny before we can reclaim ourselves and rebuild with an adorable little bundle in our arms afterwards.
