Keeping positive

Today was a good day :) although I had second majority of the day on the monitor again, I felt that I had a different attitude and outlook on it all, which helped a lot. I slept a little better through the night  but tonight I finally asked for a sleep aid to help. I can not wait to see if it will help me sleep better! After a night/morning of being on the monitor I was able to get off to take a shower. I use every minute I can to stay in the shower and relax.

After that my Brother and sister in law and nefs and niece all came and brought us breakfast. Yum! My doctor came in a little after that and I had some questions/concerns to talk to her about so my fam left. My doctor has been wonderful this whole time, and I mentioned my concerns with how many times I keep hearing from nurses the seriousness of my condition. I totally get it's not something to mess around with, but when you continue hearing it time after time it becomes very emotionally stressful and anxiety level goes up. My doctor completely understood and told the nurse to out in their note that I'm a smart, intelligent girl that I don't need to be reminded of the concerns, that's why I'm here at the hospital in the first place. That made me feel a lot better. Doctor reiterated that our goal is to get to 35 weeks for sure, and to continue on to Sunday, June 22nd. Today I am 34 wks 4 days! Big milestones for sure :) anyone with this condition delivers csection anywhere between 34-36 weeks. So we'll just keep truckin' along!

I watched all the soccer games today with World Cup and had a few visitors as well. Soccer has been my savior here in the hospital. As well as all the amazing visitors.

Jeff, Shanna, and Amanda came to visit me!

Dennis and Wendy also stopped by!

Jaris and I took our 30 minute wheelchair ride. Yay!!

I was on the monitor from 12:30-6:30 tonight. It's a pain in the butt having to go to the bathroom being on the monitor and having IVs hooked up to you. At 6:30 my parents came and brought me dinner. Delicious KFC! We ate in the cafeteria  in which I had another wheelchair ride! Thank you Mom and a Dad for bringing me dinner and hanging out with me. 

KFC was fantastic! 

Sister-in-law brought her famous cookies. So YUM!!

Once my parents left, Jami came and hung out with me for a bit! It was nice sitting and chatting and eating delicious cookies. She kept me company until Jaris gets off work. That's what I'm ending my night doing, waiting for him to get "home." I just was given the Ambien and the nurse says it will work within 30 minutes, but pretty sure it's working now! Lol. So blessed and thankful for all the love and support, and I am continuing to count down the days til we meet our precious little girl.
