At 9:00, my friend Mandy from church/small group came to visit and brought games to entertain us. We decided to play Outburst and what a fun game that was. That's where I got my title for this post. Guess it's more of an inside joke, but it fits! :) Mandy was here for an hour hanging out, and after she left I was put back on the monitor for the next hour. No contractions, no cramps, and P is sounding good and healthy. After that I ordered lunch, and I must say the grilled cheese was delish! I'm sure I'll be ordering that again sometime on my stay. Pics from this morning with Mandy and my lunch.

Lunch time - me, myself, and I
After lunch, World Cup came on and I watched Brazil take on Croatia. What a start to the game with an own goal! And I'm sorry but that PK call was absolute bull honkey. I was really pulling for Croatia to upset, but of course I didn't think that was possible. I was bummed there was only one game on today, so I look forward to the next few weeks being able to watch as much World Cup Soccer as possible. After the game, Jaris got off work and came back to our home away from home. It was so great seeing him, I know that sounds silly, but I love spending time with the hubs. We then headed over to the cafeteria for some frozen yogurt and went and sat in the meditation garden. We love hanging out in there, because of the peace and quiet.
Around 4 p.m. we had an appt. to tour the NICU. As much as we hope and pray that little P doesn't go into the NICU, the nurses thought it would be a good idea to get familiar with the area just in case. The nurse that took us on the tour was so sweet and helpful. I walked into the ICU area of the NICU and felt a bit overwhelmed and tears started forming. I think it was more along the lines of "Wow, this is getting real!" The nurse really believes and is hopeful she won't be seeing us in there, so keeping our fingers crossed our little peanut is golden when delivery comes!
To finish off the night, we ordered dinner, watched the Spurs/Heat game, and my parents came to visit us. My parents swear there going to be here every night visiting, yet I tell them they don't have to. I guess that's what parents do though right? :) Makes me happy to see them, and my dad always has something to say to crack me up! I'll be finishing up on the monitor tonight, P is looking good and still no contractions. The nurses here say there job is to keep her inside as long as possible, and that when I go to Labor and Delivery, they have no idea what to do over there. LOL! There job is to keep them in, when they come out, that's a different nurse. :) Here's to hoping for 12 more days! As much as it is tough staying in here, I know it's the best place for me to be. It's hard because each day I've gotten different things being said to me by the nurses and doctors. My OB Doctor said I can get up and move around and walk about the Antepartum unit, and then other nurses say no, I'm on bedrest and no more than 30 minute wheelchair rides away from the unit. Ugh, getting a little frustrated because the different news I keep getting is a bit overwhelming. We'll see if the status changes again tomorrow. I'm a rule follower, so I just need to do what I'm told I suppose!
