Day #5

Today has been a good day, I have had a few visitors so the time has gone by so fast.  I missed lunch today that's how fast it has gone by today.  My aunt Donna came in this morning, it was great to see her because I didn't see her at Christmas.  I had some more really strong contractions today that were very close together.  The nurse gave me another shot to stop them and it worked very fast.  The shot makes me very shaky and sick but I would rather have that then Luke coming out when he needs to stay inside.  

Last night, my family brought Sadie to see me.  Oh my gosh I wanted to cry when I saw her.  I was so happy and excited.  She was hilarious and wouldn't leave my side or stop licking me.  Randy tried to pick her up and she growled at him.  Then the kids tried to pick her up and she got mad.  She is going to be so shocked when we come home with the baby!!  My friend from high school also came to see me, Amber Hoyle.  I haven't seen her for about 4 years.  She is pregnant with her 3rd baby, she will have 3 kids in diapers!!  Oh my goodness, she is crazy!  It was very good to see her and hear about what she has been doing since high school.  

Tonight we have quite a few visitors coming.  It will be nice to catch up with family and friends.  Randy and I are going to the nursery tonight so he can see what the brand new babies look like.  Also a social worker came in and said we can take a tour of the NI CU so we aren't completely surprised when he comes.

Day #4...

Everything is still going well!  The baby is very active, I have been sleeping pretty well thru the night.  The nurses are so nice and very helpful!  All of them keep saying I am their easiest patient because I don't demand lots of things from them.  Yesterday afternoon I took my medicine that is stopping the contractions and for some reason I turned really red.  The nurses didn't know what to do because I wasn't itching or having a hard time breathing.  I just looked like I got back from St. George and laid out in the sun for 4 hours.  Pretty interesting, but after about an hour it finally went away.  Last night I got to take a wheel chair ride around hospital.  I was so excited to get out of my room and have fresh air.  My family is coming to visit today and they are bringing Sadie, aww I can't wait to see her.  She is going to freak out, she doesn't like new things so it will be fun to see what she does.  Some members from the church came this morning and they are bringing me the sacrament and also a lesson today.  It will be nice to have some familiar activity right now.
