Just had Dinner... yum...

Meat Loaf, mashed potatoes w/gravy and green peas w/mushrooms. It was actually the tastiest meal I've had since I've been here. You know I'm getting bored already when I'm giving a food update...LOL

The Dr came in this afternoon and the put me back on the Procardia. I'm still not contracting, but she wanted to put me on it because a)I really don't know what contractions feel like, b)I was feeling pressure, which is what brought me to the dr in the first place and c) "YOU HAVE NO CERVIX." =:0

It's really scary to have the high risk OB look you in the eye and tell you that one. It's just one more thing to drive home the fact that I will be sitting here in the hospital room until this baby is born. Hopefully that will be at least 7 weeks. That would put me at 34. After that they should send me home to deliver at the hospital there.

Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks to everyone who has offered their help. It means a lot. I'm sure over the next several weeks we'll be taking you up on your kind offer.

Jeff is leaving to go home tomorrow, so I will be spending next week here alone. :(

I will definitely be on here posting useless drivel while he's gone. :)

4:30 am and I'm awake

I've been lucky that they aren't doing vitals on me throughout the night. But sure enough, I am usually up around 4am to go to the bathroom. Once I'm up, I'm hungry, once I've eaten a bit, I'm AWAKE. At least I get to sleep anytime I want during the day. Also the support hose they make you wear are driving me INSANE. I'm hot natured anyway. Throw in being pregnant and wearing elastic support hose and I just can't sleep. I took them off so hopefully I can get some more rest tonight, er... this morning. I'll just have to promise them I'll put them back on.

Jeff is going home tomorrow so he go back to work on Monday. The immediate threat of delivery is gone, so no point in him staying here 24/7 right? It'll be strange here by myself.

Anyone feeling froggy and want to drive to Mobile to visit, COME ON!
