UPDATE of Maddie in comments, pics included :)

JLW0504

So, I have mini fridge in my new room. The bed is super comfortable, as far as hospital beds vo. The staff is wonderful. The doctor's are scarce but nice as well.

Again, the food sucksETA: breakfast is the best of my 3 meals.

TV channels, eh..lots of sports, some news, cartoons, TV Land and LWN. Since I don't have cable t home, this is a step up. Thank God for my Kindle though

The bleeding has stopped again and now just clotting (golf ball sized clots). Hopefully I will get to have my US early tomorrow. Fingers crossed the bleeding stays stopped.

Can you try to find a place that will deliver take out to L&D? The nurses might know.

Sorry the food sucks! But at least you can catch up on TV and books without feeling like you should be doing other things around the house

I hope someone brings you taco bell, chocolate chip cookies and jelly beans (unless you have GD than I'm extremely sorry I mentioned this)!

But it's a cute fridge mini fridge lol my husband has one that holds about 6 cans of soda that he puts about 3 monsters in and that will last him about a month lol

oliarnmom1517

And I'm sorry the food sucks!!!! I agree with PPs that if somewhere will deliver order food!!!

My husband bought me one so that I wouldn't have to walk downstairs for bottles and water. He is the sweetest. Hope everything is going okay for you!

Okay, I'm into this. As far as the room goes, sterile, warm, in need of a makeover due to the 70's makeover? I see some yellow in there. Also, how's the view?

The food is bad, how bad gelatinous bad? How many stars we talking here? Let us know on the delivery options.

Hope all is well.

Hospital TV always sucks. I think most places will deliver food wherever for a good tip! It's worth a shot. I hope your bleeding stays gone and Maddie decides to stay in there for a few more weeks. Good luck and keep us updated.

I really hope she will stay in there, I saw your other thread... Scary! I really admire how you stayed strong on this forum while sharing your experience in real time.

Hospitals have never been my favorite place, thinking of having to eat there makes me want to cry, but SO and my mom both know I want a cargo load of fruits if I ever get there so I wont starve...

Who is keeping you company ?

Yep, I have GD so I'm on a strict diet. I know, it sucks. But, I will imagine that I am eating chocolate chip cookies for sure:)

Haha,the decor leaves a lot to be desired, for sure. The view isn't bad, mostly medical buildings but there are a few trees.

As for the food. I had while wheat pasta for dinner last night and instead of beef sauce, I had this turkey sauce. It was orange, not moist, and it was super bland. I'd give the food so far 2/5 stars.

Delivery options:c-section. The question is when. The contractions have all but gone away. They come if my bladder is too full. Maddie is all over the place, she hates the monitor. It takes her like 10 min to warm up to it. But she's doing so well in there. She hasn't been phased by anything and the nurses are super impressed with her heart rate.

I don't have any night time visitors as DH has to stay with Ellie but my family has totally stepped on and they are taking turns babysitting and visiting.

The bleeding is still happening but it's thinning out and the nurses seem pleased with it.

Thanks for keeping us posted! Fingers crossed that your LO stays put!!

Sorry the hospital food sucks!

I don't know if you said this already and I missed it but will you for sure have to stay until Maddie is born or is there a chance you can leave?

shellperry

The chances of going home are increasing. I've got old blood, No active bleeding. I still have to stay 7 days free once the old blood is finished but, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to go home. I will be on bedrest though, but at least I could be home.

Some pics of Maddie as a bonus.

CarrieOct15

That's great news!!! Fingers crossed for you & your LO!

MargaretC5

Hoping you are home soon. Bed rest sucks, but it is so much better then the hosipital!

VexedMommy

Yay!  Keep cooking Maddie.  I know you're adventurous and it's getting a bit cramped in there, but give it a few more months and you'll have a lot more fun out in the wide world.
