Daisy~ sorry your feeling do so poorly.hope it doesn't last long. (Sorry dumb dumb over here and have to ask what does CTS mean? )
It's Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and you are a lucky duck if you've never gotten it.
Basically I have pregnancy induced edema so I retain water regardless how hydrated I am. So there is a lot extra interstitial fluid between my muscles, bones, linnets, lymph, capillaries etc most importantly between the nerves. The pressure from all the extra water presses on nerves generally in the brachial tunnel or carpal tunnel area and it is SO painful especially in my fingers. They get all numb and tingly and it hurts to try to stretch them out. Unfortunately I cannot get comfortable sleeping in a way that supports them so unless I want to trade one sleep disruption with another, I get up around 3 or 4 (when it is the most unbearable) to take a bath to counterbalance the hydrostatic pressure from said fluid in my body.
Some times I can feel the tingles all the way up to my elbow where the particular tunnel is
The headache has gone away and no more nausea but really not feeling good.
) I think I finally found my bedding set - it's the Nautica Zachary set. Planning on using the sailboat sheet at daycare in the future and will go with the plain green sheet (& order an additional plain baby blue sheet). Will use the sailboat quilt elsewhere as well. Will either go with a completely different mobile or add stars and flying Peter, Wendy, John, Michael, & Tink silhouettes to it, so it looks like the boats are flying with them (like pirate ships). The rest of the set is just patterns of navy, baby blue, & green, which is exactly what I had been looking for! 
Glad you were able to find the bedding set you were looking for.
I really like to keep my room cool at night, otherwise I can't sleep. We usually sleep with our ceiling fan on (but when we had DD in there, we stopped using it because we didn't like the idea of the fan blowing on her... although I HATED not being able to use the fan). And he'll be in my room for the first 10 months or so if he's anything like DD. So... I ended up getting the fleece Halo swaddle sleepsack. I also got Aden & Anais muslin swaddle blankets. I suppose I'll be prepared either way then! 
my contractions are painless but getting cramps now and again and they don't go away with water, bath, change in position, or any of the usual stuff, could they still be BH?
in Gainesville for a further scan on Monday, I guess to try to see if she is just small because of her genetics or because something is causing this . From that scan the OB will let them know whether I can continue with them and give birth at the center or if they will have to hand my care over to him and further testing will be done ;( . This is terrible I'm going to end up in a hospital and with a male doctor, everything I didn't want..
