Bed Rest: Day 4

Instead of trying to remember everything that is going on through a whole week through the Bed Rest Fog, I decided to update everyday....this is mostly for me.

Today is Monday, January 2....4th day of me being in the Hospital on Strict Bed Rest.  Quick update: Magnesium is done, early Saturday morning
Penicillan is over for now and IVs are out (HALLELUJAH!)
Procardia was started yesterday afternoon-helps with contractions, etc.
I talked with my Doctor yesterday, and I told her to be REAL with me about my stay here.  I asked if I was going to be at the Hospital until I delivered...I could tell she wanted to say yes, but ultimately, Maternal Fetal Medicine decides.  I have a feeling I will be....sadly.

I miss my Jaeli....she is having a REALLY hard time.  She wants to come to the Hospital, but RSV season isn't allowing that.  I understand it, but it is still sooo hard to not see her.  My Doctor wants to send a social worker in to talk with me about what is best for Jaeli...would it be harder to see me for a bit and be ripped away, etc....

My Doctor JUST left my room...I was grateful my sister in law was here to chat with us.  We discussed things to help my headaches and then we talked about me going home.  She said if I have a few quiet days, contraction wise and such, it's a possibility.  The facts that we got a NEGATIVE FFN test, meaning I have AT LEAST 2 weeks before I deliver, and that I am only dilated to a 2 are great!  She said if I were a 5 and my water broke at home, I'd have the baby halfway out by the time we hit the hospital.   MFM is going to do an ultrasound tomorrow, hopefully, and we'll know how big the babies are, etc.  That will help with the decision too.
