That's 36 days in the hospital! I've been here 17 straight days and in those 17 days, caught up on scrapbooking, started the baby's scrapbook, made a latch hook pillow and a few candy cane glass beaded ornaments... watched 100+ hours of TV, slept when possible and had over 10 IV's. My arms are tired.
I have my 2nd amnio tomorrow, wish us luck! IF the baby is born on Tuesday I should be home Saturday Dec. 6th. If the amnio shows his lungs are still too immature, he will be born on Dec. 11th and we should be home Dec. 14th. So let the countdown begin... I'm rooting for only 6 more days in the hospital, but it might be as many as 15 (UG!).
Thanksgiving was absolutely uneventful for me. I had some cold turkey and visited with my sister, brother-in-law and Henry and Chris. I'm glad it's past me... what a crummy way to spend Thanksgiving!
Henry and Chris and my parents have been able to visit almost every day this last week, which gives me something to look for. Henry has his **sad** moments, but he seems to be coping very well. We play games on the phone and pretend we're with each other, taking turns tickling each other, fighting and playing the same games we do when we are physically together. He came up with that on his own... his way of coping I guess.
Henry continues to be funny... for example, when he saw Dolly Pardon on the TV he declared "She's Beautiful!!!"... of all people. I guess he's going to be a boob man!
The picture above was taken a couple days ago while we watched Polar Express... we got to cuddle like that for a couple hours, it was GREAT!

Hey Amanda, just saw you have this blog. I didn't realize you were still in the hospital. I hope the amnio results are good and you're able to put this part of the journey behind you tomorrow. Either way, you'll be holding that baby very soon. I spent Christms 2005 in the hospital after having the girls and I remember it was soooo depressing (the only upside was my girls were already born and doing well in the NICU). Best of luck to you, you have our prayers coming your way.
Missy, Lou and the kids
What a cute picture!!
Hi Amanda,
Will is a beautiful baby. But so was Henry. You did a great job mom!!! We're thinking about all of you and looking forward to seeing you in a few months. Love The Bazewicz Family
