I hope you are comfortable as can be and that your associates keep you supplied with lots of silly things to read. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305937 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 09:45:04 +0000 Louise 305937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're being monitored in hospital but I can imagine how bored you must be getting. I'd suggest reading a book but I guess after nearly 2 weeks in hospital you've read enough. Do you have access to a hand held computer game like a nintendo DS. I can spend many an hour playing on mine x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305905 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 07:49:53 +0000 Sally 305905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would rest up and read or do all your favourite things. its really hard to get the time in once the baby comes. All the best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305836 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 03:21:38 +0000 catgirl 305836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just sending hugs for you and the little one! Take this time to read and watch adult movies, as there will be precious little time for that after the baby arrives. Plan some easy meals if you don't have a lot of help with that. Address your announcement cards, maybe? Also give your husband lots of to-do lists. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305833 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 03:20:06 +0000 MsMary 305833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, dear! Sending you all kinds of best wishes for you and that sweet baby!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305828 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 03:17:02 +0000 Angie 305828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending healing thoughts and strength your way. Hang in there, Fi and little one. </p> <p>Hmm. I vote round up countless tea parties with friends right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305754 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 02:12:15 +0000 nicoleb 305754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear about your extended hospital stay. I hope it goes by quickly and you are holding that new little bundle of joy in your arms in no time! </p> <p>When i was preggo, only about 4 months along i had to spend a week in the hospital because my ashtma was acting up; it got old really quickly. To pass time i just did the normal stuff like watched tv, read books, took advantage of making someone else prepare and bring food to me.</p> <p>Can you take little walks around the hospital? I know i enjoyed checking out the new babies in the nursery!</p> <p>Hang in there and keep us posted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305749 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 02:10:42 +0000 crwilson 305749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm so sorry. As others have mentioned, the end of pregnancy is often unpleasant in the best of circumstances and all the more so when things don't go smoothly. As for what to do...I think anything that occupies your hands and mind. Do you knit? Sew? Maybe it's a good time to read some less-than-challenging novels. I read the whole Sookie Stackhouse series in the the week before dd2 was born. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305745 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 02:06:27 +0000 Isabel 305745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LW, I am so sorry to hear of the complications and that you are bed bound !! But it will be sooooo worth it...well, until he/she is 8 and starts getting mouthy.....oh sorry, I started to rant there ! : )</p> <p>8.5 years ago, I spend 3 months on partial bedrest and 4 on complete bedrest ( complete placenta previa ) At first I thought I was going to have an anxiety attack, then I decided to rent a recliner and get premium tv channels !!! I was only allowed a 5 min. shower every three days. So every morning, in bed, I would wash my face , tweez my brows, do a full face of make up, try different scarf tying techniques - I even put on lipstick every day !!! This killed a couple of hours for me.</p> <p>Our niece, who was staying with us at the time ( she was 20 ) thought that I was also having some sort of breakdown...I must have looked like Bozo the clown when she got home from class ! ( And now, that little girl mouths off at me ..... )</p> <p>Enjoy this time talking to your baby and really enjoying this time alone with your baby.<br /> I hope that you don't find it stressful, but rather a peaceful and quiet time for the two of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305737 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 01:58:26 +0000 Mellllls 305737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope all is well! I would catch up on books and tv shows.....time is going to be limited in a few short weeks best wishes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305734 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 01:55:16 +0000 An 305734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of you and your bub fi. Best wishes for the next week or so. I'm glad you are in the best spot &amp; being monitored closely. </p> <p>As far as activities I don't have many suggestions apart from planning your summer MOTG wardrobes, online shopping, lots of YLF time (it might be a bit scarce over the next couple of months!!) some good books (I'm hooked on Paulina simmons bronze horseman triology at the moment). </p> <p>Look forward to hearing your baby news. Take care &amp; rest up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305724 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 01:34:43 +0000 taylor 305724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Fi...I have thought of you often...so glad things are a little more stable now that you are being monitored closely!!</p> <p>Try and Enjoy the bed rest and quite time now...during the next 18 yrs or so they are both in short supply! ")<br /> blessings to you and your baby to be:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305717 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 01:18:57 +0000 Katiepea 305717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! </p> <p>Fi, what a stressful couple of weeks you and baby LK have been through. I am *very* glad that you are past the magical 35 wk mark and that you and baby LK are in hospital being monitored very closely. </p> <p>Have you been put on steroids? Is baby handling everything ok? Are you managing to get lots of rest? Have you given your husband strict instructions that the house must not only be clean, but sparkling as it has never sparkled before upon your return home? ;-)</p> <p>Please keep us posted and let us know when your precious bundle officially makes his/her arrival! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305312 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 10:49:23 +0000 RoseandJoan 305312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Fi, how horrid but I'm sure you know you are in the right place. I'm sending positive thoughts to you and the baby and hope the time passes quickly until baby is delivered safely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305303 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:53:14 +0000 Lynne 305303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, Fi, sending hugs. Have been wondering about you of late. Pls do introduce little London Kiwi when they arrive....and hoping for the best for your bothxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305299 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:41:50 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 305299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Fi! Pre-eclampsia is a nightmare from what I've heard. Glad that they've spotted it and are looking after you.</p> <p>What a drag for you, though.</p> <p>I don't have any great ideas of how to spend your time, except that something that can keep your hands busy might be no bad thing. Do you do anything craft-y that would work while you're in hospital? Sewing or knitting? Writing? Plan your MOTG wardrobe?!</p> <p>Late pregnancy isn't much fun anyway, but so sorry that you've this to contend with as well. Thinking of you - keep us updated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-im-at#post-305298 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:33:31 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 305298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of weeks ago, I was all geared up to spend the next weekend taking and posting what I had been wearing during my pregnancy...however this idea went completely out the window when I was admitted to hospital for the remainder of my pregnancy with a condition called pre-eclampsia. I was 34 weeks and 1 day when I was admitted and I am now 35+6. Unless my or the baby's condition gets worse, little londonkiwi will be staying put until I get to 37 weeks.</p> <p>Fashionwise, I am making full use of my loungewear!</p> <p>Am starting to get a little bit bored, so any suggestions of how to spend my time are welcome. </p>
