I told mom today, I've been stuck in this bed for 12 days today and I may never want to sleep in another bed again! Perhaps I'll sleep on the couch. I'm sure that will change once I get home but right now I'm tired of laying in bed!
Today started off a litle more exciting than I had hoped for. They hook me up to the baby and contractions monitor every morning at 6am and today it was detecting fairily regular contractions even though I couldn't feel them. So, they thought that perhaps I'm dehydrated, so they hooked me up to an iv to get more fluids in and were hoping they would subside. And with those contractions that I couldn't feel came some slight leakage, so scrap getting to go home anytime soon.
So I drank a ton of water all day and they hooked me up again at 3 pm for another hour and thankfully there were no more contractions. So, hopefully I will continue down the no contraction path and will keep drinking enough water to keep me going to the bathroom every 1 and 1/2 hours!
So now I'm back to having an iv needle stuck in my hand so if they have to hook me up again quickly they can. Hopefully if I have no more contractions over the next couple days they will take it out again.
We did have another ultrasound this am and I suppose Mallory was about half asleep because she wanted no part in "practicing breathing." She was sleeping, breathing wasn't on her to do list! My fluid levels were down a little to 11 but since I had been leaking a little that am it wasn't that surprising to me, but still within the normal range. She moved around some and her heart rate was good she just had no intentions on cooperating! Imagine that, she is my child!
So, tomorrow is Friday, mom's going to leave out for work tomorrow morning and Tiffany is coming down for a Trade Show that Ross is at, so she will be here tomorrow afternoon for a while and then Ben will be back Saturday morning.
Hope and pray for a very unevenful next several weeks!!
