In my quest to find a comment that someone posted on facebook like 18 months ago (which I've yet to figure out how to go back that far for comments) I did find Archivebook.
It's an app that enables you to go back and see every status update you've made since the beginning.
I didn't feel like reading through them all, but I did go and copy and paste the ones from our 3 month ordeal of me being in the hospital for 7 weeks and then Mallory spending 5 weeks in the NICU.
Still amazes me how positive I was through it all!

2/17Rhonda Caughlin Werner Yeah, moved to a bigger room!.
2010
2/17Rhonda Caughlin Werner Well, a hospital stay in the Eastern time zone means dinner is served at 3:45 MY TIME! It just cracks me up! At least the food is pretty good!.
2010
2/19Rhonda Caughlin Werner Good news, we had another ultrasound today, and the swimming pool, as I'm calling the amnionic fluid, levels are good, Mallory is swimming along nicely! Now we continue to sit and wait in the hospital and try to agree on a middle name!.
2010

2010
3/9Rhonda Caughlin Werner this must be who can pick the most obscure song night on american idol...which the exception of the fleetwood mac song....

2010
3/11Rhonda Caughlin Werner I think I'm officiallly over American Idol....they just voted off one of the best guys on the show and all the girls but 1 are horrible IMHO. What else is worth watching comes on at the same time?.
2010

3/20Rhonda Caughlin Werner 5 Weeks down, only 3 to go, woo hoo! Can I fast foward to April 12 please!!.
2010
3/20Rhonda Caughlin Werner I'm beginning to think gouging my eyes out with these knitting needles may be better than the frustration of trying to figure this knitting thing out....hopefully I'll figure it out soon, I suppose it is passing the time, just pissing me off as well.....
2010
3/20Rhonda Caughlin Werner I'm assuming the nurses wouldn't like it if Ben snuck me in NA Beer to have with our Papa Johns pizza while we watch basketball.....
2010
3/21Rhonda Caughlin Werner Ben just informed me that when Mallory is born and for every birthday after, she will be getting a tractor, combine and some other piece of equipment else that is current equipment for that year for her collection. Although there is a large part of me that finds that very cute and a fine daddy to daughter gift, part of me just smiles and laughs and wonders where it's all going to go......
2010
3/22Rhonda Caughlin Werner I miss my office....I miss home too obviously, but work is comforting and I miss my office where I'm sooooo much more effecient.....
2010
3/23Rhonda Caughlin Werner I'm looking for personalized thank you notes...anyone got any good places to order them online since I'm kinda stuck at the moment....somewhere that doesn't cost an arm and a leg for paper..
2010
3/25Rhonda Caughlin Werner Jimmy John's delivery to the hospital room....yeah! I'm going to go into Jimmy John's withdrawl when I leave here...guess I'm going to have to open one in Owensboro!.

2010
3/30Rhonda Caughlin Werner is really, really, really tired of hospital food......
2010
3/31Rhonda Caughlin Werner annoyed that I can't go outside and enjoy this great weather but the pollen has no problem getting into the hospital and giving me fits....it would be better if I could enjoy what's making me sick!.
2010
4/4Rhonda Caughlin Werner Happy Easter Everyone!.
2010
4/4Rhonda Caughlin Werner Annoyed that I felt so crummy today that I didn't even want ben to wheel me outside to enjoy the great weather, thankfully only a week to go then I can take normal mess again..
2010
4/5Rhonda Caughlin Werner Yeah! Mallory has arrived, a week earlier than anticipated but she did great, just came very quickly! She will be in the intermediate nursery for a little while but she's doing great! 4 pounds 1 ounce and 16 1/2 inches long and such a cutie pattotie!.
2010
4/6Rhonda Caughlin Werner Just want to thank everyone for all the great well wished on Mallory's arrivial! We are all just so amazed by her and she's doing great. Not sure how long she will be here, but she's doing excellent for being born at 33 Weeks and 1 Day, and Ben is so smitten there is not hope there, already wrapped around her finger!.
2010
4/7Rhonda Caughlin Werner Excited! KOA campground in Louisville is booked for the next month, so home away from home is ready to go for tomorrow and hopefully we will not need it for the whole month while we wait for Mallory to be ready to head home!!.
2010
4/7Rhonda Caughlin Werner In a car heading home, wish Mallory was with us but she's doing great and tomorrow we will b set up in Louisville for the long haul with her!.
2010
4/7Rhonda Caughlin Werner Wow! Hello Home, it's been a while, so nice to see you!.
2010
4/8Rhonda Caughlin Werner Having a little champaign to celebrate Mallory arrival! It tastes sooooo good! Nothing like champaign in the travel trailer!.
2010
4/9Rhonda Caughlin Werner It's amazing how much your whole body/muscles can hurt after not using them for 7 1/2 weeks...I'm sure I'm pushing too hard, but thank goodness for ibuprofen! Trying to just take it easy and rest this morning.....
2010
4/10Rhonda Caughlin Werner Just had a great time at the hospital visiting Mallory with her Aunt Sue! She's doing great, just really working on gaining weight now!.
2010
4/11Rhonda Caughlin Werner Celebrating our anniversary at cheesecake factory in between visits to see Mallory! 7 years tomorrow along with Tuckers 7th birthday too!.
2010
4/12Rhonda Caughlin Werner Enjoying my time sitting in the hospital watching Mallory! Funny how just over a week ago I couldn't wait to get out and now it's the only place I want to be! Of course it helps that I am no longer confined to my bed!.
2010
4/12Rhonda Caughlin Werner Hoping Ben and Tucker enjoy their Anniversary/Birthday Pork Steaks at home, Mallory and I had a good day and now I'm relaxing in the camper ready for another day with her tomorrow....Happy Anniversary Hubby and Happy Birthday Tucker and Happy First Week for Mallory....quite a day!.
2010
4/13Rhonda Caughlin Werner I love Glee....my guilt pleasure!.
2010
4/15Rhonda Caughlin Werner Another good day with Mallory, now relaxing in the camper and quite happy that I did another scan of the antenna tv because ABC was not showing up before....gotta get my Greys/Private Practice fix if possible!.
2010
4/16Rhonda Caughlin Werner I'm sure thunder over Louisville is a lovely event but it's making my trek to the downtown hospital a pain and it's not even until tomorrow.....Grrrrr.
2010
4/17Rhonda Caughlin Werner Hoping to find a Starbucks on the way to the hospital this am, and yes, preferably one with a drive through!.
2010
4/18Rhonda Caughlin Werner Mallory is doing so great!! Two bottles down today and continued weight gain, I'm hoping for two weeks or less now before we get to bring her home!.
2010
4/20Rhonda Caughlin Werner Finally going to go home tomorrow afternoon for sleep in my own bed and to clean the house....Hopefully we are only looking at another week and a half or so before we can bring Mallory home. Weird to think in the past 9 1/2 weeks I've only slept in my own bed once....will be glad to have my WHOLE family together soon!.
2010
4/21Rhonda Caughlin Werner Hmmm, nothing like seeing yourself in a full length mirror for the first time after 7 1/2 weeks of hospital bedrest and 2 weeks post baby to get you motivated to get back in a workout routine, LOL! So, here's to walking then starting Couch 2 5K in 4 weeks with the goal of running the Music City Half Marathon next April....any takers to join me in the 1/2 in Nashville???.
2010
4/22Rhonda Caughlin Werner Mallory seems like she's getting this suck/swallow/breathe reflex more and more, hopefully we will all be home by the end of the month! Fingers crossed!!.
2010
4/24Rhonda Caughlin Werner Loves that weather.com send me texts when there's bad weather in my zip code, ESP when I'm not around my weather radio and living in a tin can, I mean camper, for the next little while!.
2010
4/25Rhonda Caughlin Werner Mom and Dad came up to visit with Mallory and got more pictuers of the Grandparents holding her....now all the grandparents have gotten the "first" pictures holding her!!.
2010
4/26Rhonda Caughlin Werner It's official, my child is spoiled....we have more preemie clothes than carter's, gymboree and the children's place combined! She had quite the wardrobe for a 3 week old and it's not at all surprising to me that she has more clothes than any other baby in the intermediate nursery, LOL! Thanks to everyone who has aided in the spoiling of my child! You know who you are!!.
2010
4/27Rhonda Caughlin Werner Is really annoyed by the foreign speaking lady who is talking very loudly on her cell phone who is with the baby next to Mallory.....u aren't supposed to talk on ur phone in the nursery, obviously she failed to grasp that message in English... Is it bad I'm glad their baby will probably leave in the next few days? She's driving me nuts!!!!.
2010
4/27Rhonda Caughlin Werner FYI, for the blog followers, still at the hospital waiting on ben so no new blog post until tomorrow am, but all is good and she's up to 4 lb 12.5 oz!.
2010
4/28Rhonda Caughlin Werner Life in the camper with no cable has reminded me how much I enjoy public television like ket....yes, I'm a nerd!.
2010
4/28Rhonda Caughlin Werner I find it humerous the look I get from most of the nurses when I tell them that I'm staying n r camper instead of the Ronald McDonald house...you'd think I was roughing in a tent in the woods from the look they give me! I'm like no, it's a really nice camper, cushy bed, heat, tv, internet, microwave, hot shower, toilet, etc.....Just counting up the times I have 2 explain that r camper isn't exactly roughing it, LOL!.
2010
4/29Rhonda Caughlin Werner I find it odd that in the nursery they are so concerned with the babies keeping up their body temps but it's cold enough in here to hang meat, I may have to start bringing my own blanket to stay warm!! Apparently there's a lot of menopausal nurses here so they keep it freezing!.
2010
4/30Rhonda Caughlin Werner Just drew super saver in the nurses derby pool for tomorrow, I picked mine that bird last year, so we will see!.
2010
4/30Rhonda Caughlin Werner No new blog post until tomorrow am...internet is moving slow and I stayed late at the hospital to give Mallory her 8 pm feeding, so I'm going to bed soon! But, as you can see in my previous picture, the feeding tube is out and she's up to 4 lb 15 oz!!.
2010
5/1Rhonda Caughlin Werner Blog post for yesterday is now up: day 26: the tube is gone! Just go to site and you can see the new one..
2010
5/1Rhonda Caughlin Werner Woo Hoo, just won $20, thanks Super Saver!.
2010
5/1Rhonda Caughlin Werner Laughing that ben and I found the "middle age crisis" bar in shephardsville ky to have dinner at, it's rather comical but close proximity to the campground I think we are the youngest people here, oh well, food was eatable and karoke was fair!.
2010
5/2Rhonda Caughlin Werner Wishing I had ruby slippers for me and Mallory so we could go home, just not quite that easy!! Hopefully soon!.
2010
5/3Rhonda Caughlin Werner Yesterdays blog post is up, I've just been having Internet issues at the campground, tonights will probably be after 9 pm before it's posted..
2010
5/4Rhonda Caughlin Werner Hate when I'm wide awake in the middle of the night thinking about work stuff....I'm on maternity leave for crying out loud but I can never totally let go......
2010
5/5Rhonda Caughlin Werner Ok everyone, thoughts and prayers please! If everything goes smoothly over the next 12 hours, Mallory comes home with us Tomorrow! Fingers crossed!!!.
2010
5/6Rhonda Caughlin Werner Mallory wasn't ready to come home today, so we keep praying and waiting. You can tell she is my child, she does things on HER terms and obviously has my stubborn streak, WE are ready for her to be home.......
2010
5/6Rhonda Caughlin Werner Anyone have a wireless wifi webcam that they would like to recommend?? Looking to buy one..
2010
5/7Rhonda Caughlin Werner Why is it that I don't find comfort in a large lit up cross on the front of a semi who was riding my butt on the interstate....
2010
5/9Rhonda Caughlin Werner Just got the news, Mallory is coming home today!!!! Happy Mothers Day to me, couldn't ask for anything better! Our 12 week hospital stay between her and I appears to be over!.
2010
