Things are still stable, and my OB still won't even discuss me continuing bedrest at home. I feel like a brat by getting annoyed that no one will even entertain the idea of home bedrest, I should just be grateful that I am still pregnant. But I've made it nearly two weeks with just a few hiccups along the way and my mental health is starting to deteriorate the longer I am here.
I have been in a funk all day long. I woke up annoyed b/c the nurses come in my room and scare the crap out of me by lightly touching my arm to wake me up. I am surprised I haven't punched any of them out of sheer terror. I have told them to please knock loudly and say my name loud to wake me up. Hopefully it will change. Also, my OB always comes by at like 6:30am, when I am still asleep, and since I am not awake enough I never remember the questions I have for him. I think tonight I will write them down and just give him the paper in the morning.
Ugh, sorry for the venting post, know that I am grateful each day that these two get to bake, but I need to see some new scenery. I need to see our dogs. I need to feel like a grown person who can take care for herself. I need to feel like a normal person who can have a normal pregnancy.

You vent away! Write your questions down when you think of them, that way you can just hand the OB your list. Heheehe. Thinking of you.
You poor thing. I totally don't blame you for being frustrated. I can't imagine how tough it must be to have such little privacy.
Hang in there.
Cook babies, cook!
Huge ((((hugs)))) hospital bedrest is HARD! You're so right about going mental just laying there. And I can totally sympathize with the 6:30 am wake-ups!!! It used to drive me nuts that they would wake me up for blood tests so darned early in the morning.
Here's hoping you'll be able to talk about home bedrest soon! (I eventually got sent home for bedrest too - and was able to make it 4 more weeks at home). Don't be surprised if they don't talk to you about it until 32 weeks.
Hang in there - you're doing great even if you don't feel it! (((hugs)))
I would be a complete brat by now if I was in your situation, so I think you are doing amazingly well. Tell the nurses to put a sign on your door if needed. The least they could do is respect your wishes. ((HUGS))
I totally feel for you, I can't imagine not being able to see my dog or be in my own house. I think you are amazingly strong and what a gift you are giving to your babies! I hope you continue to find strength. You're in my thoughts...
I'm thinking of you during this tough time. It must be so difficult to be in hospital day after day.
I agree - vent away. It has to be hard. I also agree about setting up boundaries with the staff - part of bed rest is rest!
I am so glad to hear about you making the 30 week milestone - and yes, it sounds like they will be 2010 babies!!!!!
