One month and counting…….

Well I am back in the hospital; I have now been placed on hospital bed rest until our little boy arrives. As nice as it sounds, watching TV all day, room service, a little red button that when pushed someone comes running, I am going insane. I have now been on bed rest for a month and in the hospital for 2 weeks. I have developed some “itching” issue that they think has to do with all the hundreds of medication that I am on. So I just lay there and itch….it is horrible. They do not want to take me off any of the meds, because they are all helping so much. I will just have to deal! Also, the word ‘bed rest’ is kind of funny. The nurses are continuously in here checking my vitals, giving me my meds and following up on other annoying things that I have to do. It does get lonely though. I have visitors, but the time when no one is here is quiet and can be kind of hard. When Rob is at work, I miss him so much. He is able to stay the nights he does not work which are great, and when he has to go I have to fight back tears at least till he leaves the room. I know it is silly; I just get so emotional lately. I can’t stand to have him see me upset, because it bothers him and I know we have so much that needs to be done outside of here, so he has to go get it done. I feel so selfish, but he is being amazing about everything. Showering me with treats and not leaving my side for as long as he possibly can. I don’t know how much longer we both can be patient. The doctors are hoping to reassess at 34 weeks, which is 1 ½ weeks away…YEAH! They will look to see if the baby’s lungs are developed and see what both of our statuses at that time. So far, all of my blood tests are coming back perfect and my blood pressure is under control….and our little man is growing strong! He weighs over 4 pounds now. I have had steroid shots to strengthen his lungs and I have a non-stress test for him everyday. However, he has developed a ‘reputation’ around here I have heard from several of the nurses, that he is a lazy baby. I just hope he is still laid back when he gets here!  I will continue to write my blog entries and have Rob put them in for me…..I will keep you all updated!
