I hope everything is still ok with you hun. Keep us updated. Try not to stress too much, take it easy and look after yourself and your little one.

It's sad that your work don't seem to make any exceptions for you. You should request a lighter workload as you can do without the added pressure at the moment.

Great advice Ragirl. I'm not one to just sit around and do nothing. On Friday, I did a load or two of laundry and loaded the dishwasher (nothing major). On Saturday, me and my husband went shopping and we were gone all morning. I got a lot of walking in, my feet hurt when I got home so I rested for a little bit then we went out to eat and I came home and rested some more. Sunday I didn't do hardly anything, but I felt wore out so I just stayed in my recliner all day. Monday, after my stress test, we went to Home Depot and walked around for about an hour. Then I came home and swept the kitchen floor, did some laundry, vacuumed the living room and split entry way.

My eating needs to be better (especially on weekends). During the week I usually have a bowl of cereal for breakfast, for lunch I have been eating homemade chicken salad sandwiches with chips and for dinner I've been trying to eat a small piece of meat with some kind of veggie. Also been trying to eat more fruit. I normally drink water all day long, but I also have my cup of coffee in the mornings and have some pop at night (which I need to stop).

Today I have had some cramping on and off so I have been worried about that. I want to go walking, but been afraid to do anything since the doc told me to rest (which I really haven't been doing anyways). LO has been moving like crazy today so it makes me feel more at ease that he is active. Thank you for the advice, I really need to change my diet it has gotten pretty poor (in my eyes).
