Well today didn't turn out the way I thought it would, and I'm still here in the hospital. The doctor checked me this morning and he thinks my cervix is a bit dilated, and wants me to stick around until the original doctor can see me again Tuesday. So, that bought me more time here. It was so hard to take that news after getting mentally prepared that I would leave today, the rest of today has been a struggle.
Mike brought the kids and my mom however, so we spent a good chunk of time hanging out in my little room together. We've noticed that the kids definitely have a sort of expiration time of how long they can handle being here in my hospital room before they melt down and turn into pumpkins. I've noticed so many new things about Zoë in the small amount of time that I've been away. She now says 'please' when you prompt her to when she's pointing at something and clearly wants it. It's so cute! It sounds more like a 'leesh'...but I'll take it. She has so many more teeth as well, and can take directions very well. She's good at picking up things and giving them to the people we've directed her to give things too... she's still so very cuddly and puts her head on your legs or lap whenever you are sitting down. Vince and her are interacting in positive ways a bit more often as well. They liked playing in the closet together, and running up and down the hospital hallways together. My mom had the job of trying to keep them from getting completely lost.... and more than a few times there was some random nurse that would be following Vince back to my room "making sure" he got back here ok... only to find out we've lost my mother.
So, I'm still here for now... but tomorrow I'll be 25 weeks so that's reason to celebrate. Each day is a goal... we'll see what happens on Tuesday.
