One week down...

Well, one week has gone by in the hospital and again the only thing I can say what a roller coaster it has been. Yesterday started out a little groggy since I was still waking up from the Ambien. I must say, that worked like a charm! I guess I was having a pretty decent size contraction at 3 a.m. and the nurse came in to give me medicine to stop them and I don't recall her even coming in. Then throughout the morning, I had a couple more small ones with deceleration that the nurses/doctors were watching. My friend Mary came and visited yesterday morning and we enjoyed laughs and watching some soccer highlights.

With Mary, before my shower, I look like a hot mess!

Thank goodness we had our favorite nurse Christine, and she let me get up and take a shower. That was the only time yesterday that I really was able to get out of bed. (besides bathroom breaks). After I showered, did my hair, and was able to look presentable, I had to get back in bed and get back on the monitor. Jaris then had to leave for work, and I tried, key word tried, to take a little nap. That didn't happen, because nurses and doctors continue coming in and checking and doing vitals etc. Dr. Elliot came in around 12:45 to discuss what he's been seeing on the monitor. He says that every time I have a bigger size contraction, P's heart rate decelerates and they don't want that. Especially when I go to the restroom, they see a dip in her heart rate and then slowly comes back up. This is something they have been watching at a constant and want to avoid any dangers to that's why I feel that I may have her earlier then Sunday, we'll see.

Later throughout the afternoon, I had more visitors come to see me. Wendy brought me adorable baby gifts and delicious candy! After she left, my nephew Jordan was here watching the USA Soccer game with me. T.J. and Jami came later to finish off the game and let's just say I got a WEE bit too excited once they scored that second goal, and was put on oxygen. Lol. Whoops. My heart rate and baby's heart rate went up and they had to pump me with fluids and give me more oxygen. Glad to know little P loves soccer as much as her mom now!! :)

On oxygen to calm the heart rate. Thanks USA Soccer.

Later last night, I asked to take a wheelchair ride, and they didn't allow it. I was able to sit up in a chair for 30 minutes, and that was all the excitement I had for the night. The contractions keep coming, and doctors are saying it's closer to time. We'll keep everyone updated. Lots of prayers!
