Ok...I'm going to admit it. THIS is the first "real-time" post. From this post forward, everything discussed would have just happened that day. This morning I had my first "post-hospital" visit to my OB. I didn't get much sleep last night, not just because of my every 3 hour med schedule, but I was anxious about today's appointment. I did everything I was supposed to and I didn't feel anything different, but I never felt anything before I was sent to the hospital. I just didn't know what to expect.
I got up this morning, got dressed while hubby went to the 11 yr old's parent-teacher conference. All the way to the office I had a sinking feeling in my gut and my heart was racing. Fortunately, all my worry was FOR NOTHING!! The baby looks great, measures approximately 4 lbs. 3 oz. with great movement, and I'm still at 2 cm dilation. STATUS QUO!!! The temptation of getting up but not actually doing it and the guilt of seeing my loved ones pull extra duty without my help has paid off. I get to stay home!! Emotions just need to get in check (good luck with that, I know). I guess I'm going to have to get used to the views from my couch.
More tears...happy tears!
ReplyDeleteYou can do this!!! Sometimes a couch is all we have and this is your time. Stay still and use this time for the best R & R because once the baby comes, your sleep will be no more for a while. Love you!!! Thanks for sharing your journey. I'll check in tomorrow or Sunday for more news.
Wow! You've had quite a journey. It is a challenge to stay positive, but it sounds like you have an awesome support team in your family! One day at a time. And, I agree, this writing is amazing and could be a best seller in a book deal!
