Congrats to the new mommas. I love reading the success stories. It brings me hope.

Meg, Happy Birthday! I hope that all is well and that you can maintain that super positive attitude of yours. 24 weeks is a huge milestone!
Cassandy, I'm so sorry that you're home on the couch instead of enjoying your trip with your family, but it's so much better to keep that little one safe... I know, I know... preaching to the choir.
Thank goodness that you have technology to keep you close to them. Make sure that you have your nightly videos where they are telling you about their days, and I would suggest if you're using Skype to get a free video recorder - so you can keep memories of those conversations... and if you're using something else, get a recorder that will allow you to record your screen and sound - Skype is my favorite because there is no limit to the amount of time that you can have that thing recording, while some other things might cut off on you.
I completely understand the bundle of weirdness. I want so bad to be up. I get this nudge that says that I should be doing more than I am and that just doing a little might not make that big of a difference, and as a result, I've gotten very stuck. This last month has been particularly hard on me. (with the anniversary of the death of my daughter who was born last year after 25+ weeks on bed rest -she died of a heart condition that was a result of T18) I didn't realize how much it had affected my performance until I got a note last night from my only client that he felt that he could no longer trust me to get things to him in a timely fashion and that we needed to wrap things up and go our separate ways with each other's blessings. It's been decades since I've been in that place where I allowed a personal situation to interfere with my professional performance.
I don't have the issue with bleeding - thankfully that's not been an issue with this pregnancy - it's just the contractions going over threshold and the having to take drugs or tempting fate to bring him this early. I know it's getting close - we're literally a month from tomorrow to 36 weeks and we've been down for 25 weeks now.
I realized last week that bed rest to me is a little like Chinese water torture. A single day isn't that bad. A week isn't even the end of the world, but all those days and weeks start to add up and eventually it really starts to get to you.
One thing that I have found helpful is a process called writing in the writing. This is where you get a pen and a paper and you write down all the unhealthy things that are going on in your head... but, instead of writing one line, skipping to the next, and so on, you go back to the beginning of the line you started on and begin again and repeat that 3 or 4 times so that there is no way to read what you've written down. This way you're getting it out, but you're not anchoring it by reading the words. Then you can tear it up and flush it down the toilet, burn it or whatever you want to do. It's more helpful if you do it, than if you just know about it... haha... That's been my issue - I know what to do, but I'm feeling paralyzed.
I hope that you can feel more healthy and that you will be okay during the week while your husband and family are gone. If you'd like to be my friend on Facebook, let me know. I'd be happy to chat throughout the week. Sometimes it helps when you're not alone and you have someone to turn to. Otherwise, hopefully I'll see you at the chat tomorrow.
