Tomorrow I'm expected to be able to go home! I can't count the
minutes fast enough. It will depend on my cervix and whether or not
it's still closed of course. So be sending good thoughts my way for a
normal exam in the morning! Every day the nurses ask me the same thing,
and no.... I haven't felt any contractions, no bleeding or leaking.
I've spent 10 days in the hospital and I can't say I have
that much to show for it. Instead of my plans to complete a blog post
each day, finish up the kids baby albums, and write numerous overdue
letters to friends across the globe, I've watched a total of 10 movies,
finished all the episodes available for the PBS mini series Downton
Abbey (highly recommended), read about the Immortal Life of Henrietta
Lacks, and then I got sucked into the show Mad Men. It's all been
downhill after I started Mad Men. There's about 12 episodes per season,
each about 50 min long. I've just finished season 2.
It's
been a very long week, ending with an exciting day today of being able
to see the kids and Mike, as well as my mom, who flew in on an overnight
flight and landed this morning. I'm so excited to see her and relieved
she'll be able to help Mike out at home, who has sounded exhausted on
the phone everyday and came in to my room this morning with some
seriously blood shot eyes. We certainly are blessed with good friends and neighbors that have helped in the evenings however, which made a huge difference.
Mainly, I can't wait to just be able to hug Vince and Zoë whenever I want to, and feel the sheets on my own bed.
