Hazel - oh my poor way overdue friend. It sounds like you are soo ready to pop. I can just imagine how you must be feeling theses past few days. Ummm, you may be right and little Zorba will need to get pried out with a crowbar!
That is one stubborn baby! Either that or you've made him/ her too cozy in there that there seems to be no intention of leaving! I'm glad that todays sweep went better, but 4 sweeps already? UGH, that must be super frustrating for you & your DH. Thanks for the info on what the UK suggests on nappie creams, I've looked in my baby books here and all they say is to use at every changing for a preventative measure, but it doesnt say anything about when to start - guess I'll be asking the L&D nurses what they think..
OK, Zorba PLEASE come out, come out , come out now.... I'm truly hoping that you start contracting today and that Zorba feels more cooperative - xoxoxo
Steph - Gah! You are not kidding! we need those shock collars and soon! i swear that we are all surrounded by the stupidest people sometimes! And now poor Alex had to see this? what is wrong with that woman? your kid wont go to sleep so you hit them????!!! sigh - God, how I hate to hear things like that
Andrew had better have a chat with their soldier father, or hell yeah, you should make a phone call! Like you need to hear this story while on bed rest, right?
Oh, honey I would sooo come visit you - it sucks that we are all so far away from each other, doesnt it? Well, is it this weeks DR that thinks you can maybe go home? What of the other Dr? I'm kind of in the middle, on one hand I think you should stay, just in case, but on the other hand, if it were me, I know I'd be eager to be home. What are the odds that Andrew's command will sign off on that letter that he must be your home care giver? Somehow, his command always "forgets" to sign off on important things... Grr! But i know that the strict bed rest has done you and the babies good, look how much better you're doing now. But if you do go home - you promise me that you're not doing a darn thing! OK? Just sitting on your behind only OK? jeez - are we all feeling a bit like incubators yet?
Gi - Yay honey for being 31 weeks! Hazel is so right, a year ago did you ever believe that this is where we'd be now?
Natasha - Ugh, yup, my nose has been stuffy the entire pregnancy, the book says its common, I think I've just gotten used to it by now - but I sure do miss it being normal. You'll settle in with studying, a good study routine is crucial in nursing school - imagine what med school must be like - eeek!
Babyluv - hee hee Amelia & Juliette as UFC fighting champions - too funny. I just hope that they're feeling more photogenic on friday! they probably will now that its not the u/s that you paid for
Angela - Thats such a shame that your in laws hurt your feeling like that - it is hard to get over dopey comments like that, hopefully once little Gabriella is born and everyone is totally in love with her (of course) maybe you can have a fresh start with them? And if that doesnt happen, then at least she'll have 1 set of normal grandparents, right?
Claudia - whee! you finally look pregnant, and you still have the most adorable bump! please dont stress your weight - I think you started out with like no body fat to begin with - so its all Flicks' weight now. and it will fall right off afterwards, especially when you're in such great shape now. Have you finished your nursery yet? or close? a day at the beach with lincoln sounds so fun - enjoy! he must adore the beach!
AFM - Whew! I swear that my sciactic issues and my acid reflux are just taking turns to keep me up all night! last night I was up so many times I ended up trying to sleep upright in a recliner in the living room, first I was up to pee like 4-5 times
Then at like 3am - well here starts the acid coming up into my mouth - yuck! and then I feel like I'm keeping Chris awake by getting up every half hour, so I dont know which is worse? The nerve pain huets but is coming & going and the acid cant be predicted lately, it happens with such random foods, but either way I'm up half the night, fun, yes?
And my lovely neighbors? Ummm, yeah, they're a lot of fun. i really think that they're so desperate to sell that they're just grasping at straws as to why no one wants to buy their house. They're nice enough usually, but just too nosy and overly friendly for my taste. by next week they'll most likely have a new reason why its not selling. Either way, sorry, but not my problem, we all have enough of our own, dont we? much love - xoxoxo

I am jealous! I look like an over stuffed turkey. lol I hope you had a good new year! Looks like you are having fun for the holidays! Keep checking in so we know how you are. 
The doctor told me twice a day earlier but wrote down three so that is what the nurses will give me. I will ask her about it tomorrow during rounds. I am wondering if they will just allow me to walk around for a few minutes a few times a day instead. I really don't want blood thinners when I have a previa. I have had some old blood coming out after a good few days of nothing. This still could be old blood from the original bleed or old blood from a newer bleed that didn't make it's way out. There is no way to know. Well, I guess we might find out if this Heprin thins my blood. lol Did I mention that they have been giving me Ambien at night too? It doesn't work as well as everyone else I know says it works for them. It takes an hour or two to actually work and doesn't keep me asleep. I wake up throughout the night just like I always do. The only thing is that when I am asleep, it seems to be a better quality of sleep. I stay groggy half the following day though. lol BH are still coming and going. They are nice and strong now but of course not regular. Other than that, nothing to really say. I'm bored out of my mind watching crappy TV, eating bad hospital food and have limited access to the internet. At least it allows me to come, read and post on here.
