I've gotten to know a lot of the nurses since I've been here through so many shifts. Last night I had my night nurse in my room until after midnight. We covered the debate, mortgages, racial issues, debt, housing crisis, you name it! I haven't had a conversation like that in A LONG TIME (aka an ADULT conversation uninterrupted)! Generally I'm in Henry's world discussing backhoes, Wiggles and now Spiderman. It was nice but a late night for me... if only I could have been drinking a nice glass of wine and it would have been the closest thing to a girls night out that I've had in awhile! I like my nurses :)
Update on me - not much to update (which is GREAT). Like I mentioned my ultrasound looked good, they are keeping me here until Tuesday mostly so they can monitor any bleeding, blood count, etc. and of course monitor the baby. I am now hooked up to an IV thing (open vein?) so the thing is sticking out of my arm but I don't have the tubes to carry around... basically they can "plug" me in whenever/if ever they needed to for a blood transfusion or for IV fluids. That's fun. I feel somewhat machine like!
I had a Dr. from the Neonatal floor come to meet with me to discuss what will happen when the baby is born (assuming he is coming early, less than 37 weeks is considered preemie). She said they will take the baby right away, get him on heaters and a ventilator to help him breathe. I will get to see him once he's stablized and set up in the NICU. She said that every baby is so different when they born, no matter what the gestitational week, so once again, it is a wait and see. She did reassure me that being at 27 weeks with steriods administered is good for survival . SO, we will hope for the best and hope that the baby can stay put at least another month or more!!!
OH, for those interested in Henry's bowel movements... he is now 2/2 on the potty! Such a big boy!!!!
Have a great night everyone!
