SnT - yay! congrats Lulu - you'll do fabulously! bed time .. hmmm ... depends on when DD actually goes to SLEEP (her bedtime is 8, but up til 11-12 sometimes)... normally 10ish... up at 3 due to insomnia - preg related - then back down from 4-7ish... pjtp .... oopsie ... i was sitting (not laying down) for longer than i should have and i can actually feel my pressure rise... bed rest SUCKS... im going to gain a bazillion pounds cause i can get up to eat and then back to bed - laying down...

not really ... **yawn** oh, Susan, you can eat on the pouch test, didnt you know that? i did it and as you can see, i'm FINE... trust me - even though i'm no doctor or any medical professional and these people just had WEIGHT LOSS surgery? what a brilliant idea!!! :wub:

i heard someone has a direct line to God... i think cell phone!

ok, you guys are really trying to get my BP up arent you? i've read everything, but it was from either my tiny computer and just didnt have the energy to respond or my iPhone ... and thats sometimes a lost cause... not sure if i'll venture into the holier than thou pattygreen thread... i think i'd just be mean... *eyeroll* im doing ok ... pretty bored stiff... and my back IS stiff ... i need a massage but cant leave the house to get one... gahhhh!

the problem is - i am BORED stiff and the nesting has started... my POOR DH!! i have a list a mile long for him to do and it's growing by the hour!! the really crappy thing is - i'm supposed to be LAYING down on either side for 90-95% of the time ... that's just not really doable .. ya know?? so what i do is sit up for some time (anywhere from 5mins - ???) and i can literally feel it when my BP raises so i lay down and 'rest' some more... i will share a few pics here, but mostly will be facebook. there are some really REALLLY weird stalker type people here and **shudder** i'm hoping to make it to 37 weeks ideally... that would mean about 2 1/2 more weeks... but, like i said - SOOOO much stuff to do ... i mean really ... we still have to buy the diapers (we're using cloth) and they have to ship... if he's really early he'll be in 'spozies for a bit...

NO!!! DONT DO IT ... chewing a chip and spitting it out can become a very dangerous habit... it's called Mastication... and even though you think you are getting rid of everything, your saliva causes your stomach to churn and that's one of the points of the post op diet ... as little churning as possible...

Susan, good luck with the 5 day pouch test... i honestly dont know if i could do it!! (even if i had restriction!!) im doing ok ... getting stir crazy(ier??) ... there is SOOOO much to do around the house and i just cannot ask DH to do it all ... ever since i (finally) got laundry caught up and baskets totally empty every week, i like it like that... its starting to build up and driving me bonkers. plus we have all the baby's clothes to wash... at least a FEW outfits, ya know?? ohhhh... a prostitution thread? to be honest, i really havent even ventured anywhere but my subscribed threads in ages unless im pointed somewhere ... maybe with bed rest, i'll have the time...? (but not much interest though...:wink_smile:)

well, as of this past Friday, i'm on "complete and total" bed rest... my blood pressure has been going up and at my appt on the 31st it was 140/101... the only things i'm allowed to do: go to the bathroom take 1 shower a day make a simple lunch for myself only (she said sandwich) that's it... what cant i do: no dishes no cooking no laundry no CHILDCARE () it sucks and its boring. i was in the hospital all weekend and it was just boring as all - whatever -.... docs want me to stay preggo for at least 2 1/2-3 more weeks, but if BP cant be controlled, they'll induce me earlier. i did get the steroid shots to strengthen his lungs...

i cant sleep either ... everywhere is so quiet... *virtual crickets*

whoa! 6 hours since last post... where are you guys??!

PJTP - i LOVE DH's boss... DH called him to see what can be done with DD for tomorrow and his boss just said work from home until i deliver ... WOW ... guess it's good that he's my FB friend and knows whats going on .. DH wil still try to go in 1-2 days for 1/2 days or something, but we can take her to either part time daycare or kids park... YAY!!!

ditto what snt said... one weird thing - my DH has all his coworkers (from his boss to his employees) as his friends... and the REALLY weird thing is - DH's boss sent me a friend request and his former boss sent me one a few days ago... strange, but oh well...

i have a place, but i need something full time... have fun with your hubby away....

all depends on what we can do with DD for the next few weeks... ideally, DH can work from home, but i dont see that happening on a full time basis... probably going to have to throw her in daycare if they will take her just for a few weeks... who knows how much that is going to cost...??? me too.... someone mentioned cleaning walls... yeah, we soooo need to do that - and it was on my list to do... now its on DHs but i got WAYYYY more 'rest' there...

im ok... home for now... will go back in if i cant follow complete bedrest orders

wish i could... 34 weeks pregnant and on bedrest...

holy crap! you guys have been busy!! it's 5am and I can't remember much susan - my DD would be cleanng today, too.. glad it was a success.. someone (mac?) mentioned PS... TOTALLY worth it!!! IMO. she - at least you GOT 10 days off :tt2: beth - so sorry abt DD & DGD leaving ... *hugs* PJTP - gotta leave a 'sample' and then back to bed... drink, drink, drink... person who just multi-quoted (tap?) .. you're giving Plain a run for his money...

SnT - it is really good... hope u like it as much as I do.. :thumbup:

good morning all... god, is it STILL morning??! 'bed' at 12, sleep about 2:30, BP at 4 & they flipping WAKE me from a dead sleep to step on a fing scale!!!!!!! grr... of course I can't fall back to sleep til 6, and they come in to take blood at 7! WTF??! good news is my BP has been GREAT (120/56 last read) when I'm on my side here... on my side at home was about 145-50/85... I'm petrified that they'll keep me here for that reason alone... 3 weeks in the hospital 'suite' (HA!) is wayyyyy too long.. I'll go bonkers! oh and breakfast?? 2 sausage links that literally look like crap and 2 rock hard biscuits.. umm thank you no.. guess DH is bringing me starbucks... (and LOTS of movies). thanks for the well wishes... I do feel fine... :thumbup:

hey!! where is everyone?? quit having fun and come on LBT!!

nope, but I am being admitted for 'observation'... BP is fine when I'm laying on my side.. back & sitting up not so much

PJTP - on my way to labor and delivery ... hopefully a quick check and release.

wooo hooo ceredad!! BBK - great job on the loss!! current wall e count is only 1 but she's 'napping' LMAO now... we'll see.. and whoever turned me on to Leverage... THANKS! saw the first episode and love it... bought the season pass on itunes... now all they need to do is cancel the damn thing! *eyeroll*

i STRONGLY suggest a visit to your doctor and unfill ASAP. congrats on your baby!
