I'm glad things are looking up, but I am also terribly sorry that you're going through this. My mom delivered me at 33 weeks, she knows the pain of a magnesium drip! I hope you're precious LO stays put though! Best wishes
Praying for you! My good friend spent 8 weeks in the hospital before delivering her third. She spent a good amount of time with the child life specialists at her hospital; they helped her come up with crafts and activities that she could do in bed when we brought her 2 and 5 year old to see her. The specialists also had dolls with IV's that the kids could experiment with on their first visit. The kids are now 9 and 11 and they have memories of playing at the hospital but no trauma. Does your hospital have that service? Hopefully, you won't be there long enough to need it. But, if it looks like it will be a long stay, check into that. It can give you and Ellie something to look forward to each day.
Sending you tons of creepy internet hugs! Also, I agree with the food ratings. If you get bored, you should look up various prisons/jails on yelp, it's pretty entertaining.
And now for some of my favorite dog gifs that kind of sum up pregnancy:

I'm so sorry sweetie. *hugs* I'm glad Maddie is doing well and I hope she hangs in there for another few months.
If there's something strange underneath the hood. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. If there's something weird and it don't look good. Who you gonna call? Your Doctor. Immediately. If it's new, painful, and possibly pregnancy related get your ass off the internet and call your doctor. It's for your health and your child's.
I am so sorry to hear you are having to go through this-but very glad to hear that your LO is doing well. Please keep us posted throughout. Creepy internet hugs your way!
For your entertainment, some of the best catfishes thus far (and I find I can lose hours of my life on buzzfeed):
