Back in the hospital

Well, our "emergency" run to the hospital happened this weekend. We had been taking it for granted that I had been at home for so long I guess it was time for a change. Sunday afternoon I was admitted back in to Methodist Hospital because of bleeding and will be here until the baby is born - at this point we're not exactly sure when that will be.

My OB came in this morning and said if there is another heavy bleed then we might "bail out of the pregnancy" and deliver the baby and if there is not another heavy bleed then we will just wait as long as possible and probably deliver at 36 weeks. I had the "rescue dose" of the steroid shot today to help the baby's lungs be as mature as possible for delivery so all we can pray for now is time, time, time. (Although that means I will be bored, bored, bored.) We want the baby to stay put as long as possible.

I should be getting a visit from the High Risk Doctor either today or tomorrow and we will do an ultrasound to see how the baby is growing, etc. She has been looking great on the heartrate monitor but it would be good to get a "visual" as well.

Ryan and Shane are doing great - they are pretty much the only people I know that are not sick. I am still having problems with my ears but most of the pain is gone, so that's good. Here is a picture of Ryan that we had taken a few weeks ago. He was not in the best mood - he had a little fever and 3 days after we had this taken Tooth #2 popped out! Yay! He is walking more than ever but still loses his balance when he gets too excited. It's so fun to watch - I wish we could turn him loose here in the hospital but he'd probably just crawl everywhere and pick up all kinds of nasty germs. Yuck.



Oh, speak of the devils... Shane and Ryan just got here to visit. Shane took one look at my dinner and is off to the Food Court to get us both something to eat. :) I'm already tired of hospital food... This could be a llllllooooooonnnnnnngggggggg couple of weeks. :)
