Next up, Thanksgiving
So I made it to my first mini-milestone.
I found staring 17 weeks of bedrest in the face to be a wee bit daunting. So instead, I broke it up a little. First was to get to Halloween. Next up, Thanksgiving. After that, Christmas!
And wouldn't you know it, on the "Today Show" this morning, Al Roker announced there were 55 shopping days left until Christmas. That means I could potentially be here for FIFTY FIVE MORE DAYS. 5-5. That's, well, that's a long time.
I have decided that the one thing that would make this bedrest much more fun is drinking games. I mean how fun would some Asshole or Three-Man be right now? It would pass the time, I would be having loads of fun and I would be d-r-u-n-k.
It's always at times like this when you really need a drink that the annoying pregnancy rules kick in.
So instead of Three-Man, my mom and I played a rousing game of Crazy 8s today, where I kicked her ass up and down Wellington Avenue. I should have played for money.
So next up, Turkey Day. In 25 short days, I will be this close to being 28 weeks. There will be a parade and a huge celebratory meal in my honor. There will be green beans and stuffing and pie -- PIE! And it will all be in honor of me making it to 28 weeks.

Got the link to your blog from a post you had on the Pregnancy Friend. Saw your story and now I feel compelled to track the progress your Cervix is making! I have to say that your sense of humour about the whole thing is quite admirable. A friend of mine was on BED REST for exactly 18 weeks and she said that it wasn't as bad as she had expected. So, Hang in there and GOOD LUCK!
Three man! Oh wow, I'd totally forgotten that one!
Here's to 28 weeks!
Hi Amy, I'm gonna follow along as we have the same little goals. I've seen you on FF. I am due 2/18. I was cerclaged on 7/26 and have been on bedrest since 100 days today! My own personal goal (though my mini goals are similar to yours) is New Year's Eve - I'll be 33 weeks and if it happens this year that's the earliest I'd like it. Hang in there hope we'll both still be here on Turkey day - I love your attitude - that day the celebration will be all about us being almost 28 weeks - that's a great idea! Hope you don't mind sharing it with me.
