Forward Progress

Sorry for the doom and gloom. I'm doing much better, really. Sunday and Monday were sunny days here which did wonders for my attitude. And overall, I feel much better physically. I actually had a little surge of energy yesterday and got quite a few little things accomplished around the house. Hopefully today I can follow through.

The spotting was really short-lived, and I still feel the babies regularly. So I really think things are fine. I think the spotting-after-flying thing just really freaked me out since our current plan was for me to fly cross-country in June when I'd be around 30 weeks. While I'm aware this is generally not ideal with twins, it seemed better to take a 4.5 hour flight than spend 4-5 days sitting in a car. But after the spotting, I'm not sure now. I will discuss it with the OB in 2 weeks at my appointment. Ironically, this will be the first appointment I actually meet one of the doctors, as I've only seen the nurse practioner so far.

My only pregnancy symptom issue now is the insomnia. Bad insomnia. I'm waking at least 3-5 times per night. I got a snoogle body pillow and that has helped my back, but I'm still waking up. And waking the DH up too, so he is exhausted. I feel so bad for him, but he won't let me sleep elsewhere since he says that keeps him up too.

Okay, there is lots to share about the trip west and our plans, but I've got to get my day going. So more to follow soon! Thanks again for all your sweet thoughts and support, they really matter.

Oh the insomnia is the worst. Cowboy and I are dealing with it, too. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures in L.A.

I am glad that you are doing/feeling better. I am in the evil anxiety space myself. I wish I knew if I was actually feeling the baby move, but I just can't decide if I actually have or not. I can't wait for that reassurance.

I am just catching up and saw the previous post, too. I'm sorry about the spotting. I'm sure it was related to the flying, but I would have been crazy worried, too.

The insomnia sucks!!!! I hope the pillow catches on and you can get some sleep.

I find that by morning my hips ache from lying side-side...

I've had issues with the sleeping as well...I just keep adding pillows. My bed looks like a freaking showroom now!

I give you a lot of credit for even attempting to fly...I don't think I could handle it. My husband is cutting off most long distance travel after 28 weeks...he is a little overprotective, but sometimes I need that. I might try to go to the moon otherwise!
