My glucose test is at 8:45 tomorrow morning. So of course I'm sitting here eating B&J ice cream straight from the carton, because this might be my last chance.....
I went to the hospital for a couple hours again this afternoon. My brother is really having a hard time, lots of moaning and yelling today, and he seems to be hallucinating sometimes, like he thought I was Belle from beauty and the beast at one point and was frantic trekking me not to go upstairs nectar I would get hurt. It's really hard to watch. And it is hard for me to even get there, because i can't take dd. Dh was home with her today when i went, but I am pretty annoyed with him because I got home 45 minutes before her bedtime and right before he had to go teach a class, and he hadn't fed her dinner or even made anything. He's usually really good about doing stuff like that, so I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that something came up or he thought for some idiotic reason that it would be easier on me somehow.
So relieved I'm being discharged. I did have irregular contractions and was 2 cm dilated, also tested positive for a protein in the cervix that could signal labor but good news is cervix isn't thinning or anything like that. Received steroids for baby's lungs due to my history and some medicine that has helped with the contractions. Also got put on bedrest, so I'll be taking off work earlier than expected, which is fine since it was only part time and I still have my toddler to keep up with. Just really excited to be going home to my baby and still have my littlest baby cooking for a while longer. Thanks for your support!
I was planning on spending today relaxing with DD and it turned into PJ Day! Thank goodness because the Mr came home from band practice with a really awful looking gout flareup. Had I not been resting all day with DD I don't know that I would have been up to the prep work for the upcoming week! I now feel rested AND productive!
@Allybiery Glad you're at home for some more cook time on that little one @ellie111227 It's so hard to watch a loved one struggle health-wise and there's nothing you can do to ease it. Sending lots of good, positive thoughts your way. Hoping you get some answers and some progress for your brother soon!
I'm a terrible weekend bumper. @Allybiery Glad you were able to go home. Get some rest and keep that baby cooking!
@ellie111227 Hoping your brother's providers can find out whats going on, positive thoughts going out to you and your family!
@Wearmi1 What an adorable update! So glad she is doing well.
@hgpa That sounds really painful, but glad you are fine overall. I hope you heal quickly!
I went to an arena football game on Saturday (Cleveland Gladiators) it was fun, first time going to one of those. Also had our breastfeeding basics class yesterday which was great! So informative and made me feel a little less anxious about it. The weather was amazing yesterday and we took a 1 hour walk.
