First heat

Our sweet Dot is 11 months old and experiencing her first heat cycle. We are keeping her away from other dogs. When we take her out she is on a leash at all times. I'm trying to make sure we get out enough to run a bunch of her energy out. She mostly wants to sleep right now. I've never had a girl dog before so I am not sure if that's normal during heat. We aren't experiencing any unusual behavior other than barking at me (the momma) a lot! And wanting extra attention the last week or so. She is having some bleeding and the vet confirmed it is her first heat cycle. Anyways, I can here to you very smart and awesome people to get any advice you have. Anything I can do to make her more comfortable? Anything new I should be doing? Or that I should know about?
Also, I'm considering making some doggy diapers for her to wear while bleeding. There have been several messes which is expected. What are your thoughts on the diapers?

Thank you so much in advance!
Brandy
