WEEK 24 HIGHLIGHTS

So I figure I should just start combining my daily logs into weeks, I'll see how it goes and maybe I'll decide to change it, but here goes: (I'll edit and add as the week goes on)

Thursday 5/29/14:
Today I sort of slept in. I heard the nurse come in around 6:45am and she said that it was still early, but just wanted to make sure I was okay and said to just go back to sleep. I slept til about 8 am, which was nice since it's the latest I've slept since I got here. The windows are really big in my room and I get a lot of light, which is good for the day, but not so much for sleeping in. I realized that my room is surrounded by American flags! I was able to count 5 easily, 2 big ones and 3 smaller ones...perfect for our family! I talked with the doctor this morning and he said that everything is looking good. He mentioned the possibility of me having to get a c-section because with the lack of water it could cause damage to the baby if he has heart decels. I'll pray that things go how they have to so that the baby can come out with the best chance. I asked him if I could tour the NICU and he put it in my orders so that it could be arranged. I want to be prepared, especially since the baby can come whenever he wants! The more prepared I am the more comfortable I'll be, maybe. He told me to keep up the good work and then went about his rounds.

I had my first baby monitoring of the day and everything continues to look good! All of the other baby monitor results also looked great! So highlights of today, I watched more Drop Dead Diva, I searched pinterest and found some projects to do, and had a wonderful visit with CeCelia. She let me know that she wanted to stop by on her lunch break; she works a few minutes away and it was great to talk with her and catch up. She brought me some delicious cinnamon rolls to go along with her great company. It was a nice way to pass the afternoon.

My sister-in-law had a baby today! The family had a game to guess when she would have her baby and guess what...yup I guessed today! So I win! Pretty cool. Dave and the boys came by and we had dinner together. I always love when they come in the door and are so happy! I sat on the couch with them and Lincoln looks at me and says "why are you not in your bed, get back in bed mommy". I let him know the nurse lets me sit for a little bit on the couch. After dinner, Dave asked me to cut the boys' nails so I sat with them on the bed and started cutting Linc's toenails, he does not like it and he started to get upset and say that he wanted to go home, which of course made me feel so sad! I cut their finger nails because for some reason that doesn't bother them and Dave decided that he would cut their toenails at home. I really don't want to be the bad guy right now. The rest of the visit was happy. Dave took me to see my new nephew, he wheeled me down to her room and we got to see the little guy for a few minutes. Oliver wasn't happy when we left the room, but he was okay when we came back.

When we got back to the room everyone packed up their things and headed out for the night. Dave sent me a text after they left, he told me that Lincoln said, 'can we go back and see mommy' and he told him they were going to go again tomorrow and then Linc says, 'but I love to see her all day long!'. I love that little boy! Oh I almost forgot, the boys sing a song each time they come down here. I filmed Lincoln singing it and Oliver knows the words too and chimes in...they are awesome! I guess I can thank Dave for their awesomeness. Oh and my surprises for the day: sweet tarts, nectarines, and a veggie tray that we all got to enjoy. I'm ending my day finishing my blog for the day and watching my last episode of Drop Dead Diva...here's to another great day tomorrow!
