Election Day - 31 weeks, 6 days

It's election day, and I don't know about you but I'm ready for this to be over!!! I didn't get to vote; amazingly they do not have polls available in the hospital!?! It's ok, I live in an Obama state so I don't think my vote would have swayed the vote whatsoever!

Speaking of Obama... Chicago is crazy for Obama! This may as well go down as some kind of big holiday with all the happenings in the city getting ready for the big celebration tonight! This georgous weather isn't going to reduce the size of crowds either!

Update on me... no more bleeding so far, which is great. My only complaint right now is having to get a new IV every 3 days. I am running out of "good" veins very quickly. I've had many veins blown and they are starting to have a tough time getting a line in. They mentioned putting in a PICC line (permanent IV) which would be so nice because that way it can stay put until the baby is born and I don't have to have the 3 day IV changes. My arms hurt.

Henry has been able to visit me every other day or so. He's been great! Last visit he even brought me a present (a ball of his wrapped up in crumpled paper)... I love that he wants to bring me gifts though!

It looks like they really do want me here as long as I can stay. It is just down right depressing to think I could be here for 5 full weeks! I think I will need a prescription for Zoloft with my IV changes to get through the 5 weeks... seriously, how much TV watching, book reading, magazine browsing can I do!?!
