I realized that now I am about 7-9 weeks away from going to hospital bed rest. I'm not sure
how i feel about it, but i do know its best for the babies. I found it so hard to be in the
hospital for a week in the begining of my pregnancy (due to hyperstem- side effect from
fertility medication). How am i going to survive 3 months of bed rest in the hospital?
Last night Brian and i went to our friends Lili and Jesses house for a cinco de mayo party,
and watched the oscar de la hoya fight (im still not able to talk about the outcome of the
match). We had a great time, and i was so glad that i wasnt feeling sick or tired, i was able
to eat a mound of delicious food from Aquis and get caught up with all my friends. I do find
that i am overly emotional about everything these days, which is alot of fun for everyone
around me Im sure. Katie, showed me a new site, Discount School Supplies.com, I think
brian and i will have to do a lot of shopping there, they had great industrial strollers and
highchairs from this site, it accomodates multiple kids which is the advantage to this site as
target and babies r us, where i can only find triplet stuff at best.
I feel totally icky today, tired and very nautious, it could be that I overstuffed myself with
these entimans chocolate doughnuts that are chocolate covered (a whopping 320 calories
per doughnut). I think i need to find a new snack.
Brian and I are off to pick up our margarita machines that we rented out to a couple parties
yesterday and all i can think of is what fast food restaurants we will pass by so i can eat
another 1k calories before my next scheduled grazing time. So far i think i have had almost
1k calories and its 210pm, im really behind, i should be at at least 2500 by now.
Today I am 11wks 2Days, pic of the belly below.
Today we officially launched the website. Many people thought it would be a good idea for
me to keep a running blog of my experiences with the babies.... so here we go...
I have never been so excited through this whole process than I am now. I met with my new
dr's this week (my old Dr.'s referred me to specialists in this field). I now have a set plan. I
am modified bed rest probably until 15 weeks, then soon after I will be admitted to the
hospital until I give birth. Until then ill be on weekly progesterone shots, and will be having
a cerglage done as well. My Dr., husband and I believe this will be the best course of action
to give our babies the best chance of making it to my goal of 32 weeks (record is 32 for six).
We plan to beat it- and we will.
I have been so nauseated and tired to date, but i must try and keep 5k calories down a day,
yes 5k a day. This way even if the babies come early they will hopefully have some meat on
their bones :). I find it so funny looking at what i am eating each day. Today i had a half a
package of bacon, 3 large slices of french bread, 2 7ups, 2 glasses of chocolate milk, 36
ounces of water, cereal, nilaga (filipino soup), lasagna and french bread, still not even
close to 5k. Dr. says to get in whatever I can. Cheesecake and cheesteak are next on my
list.
