Thanks, Girls

Today was actually a really amazing day, you know, if you can just overlook the whole "stuck in the hospital hoping that the baby doesn't come today" business. I felt like CRAP this morning, when they brought me back up, and I don't think I'm going to go for the Ativan next time it's offered to me, I felt like a zombie until after lunch!

Mom and J came to visit, then they left. I had the bleeding I talked about before, which reset that stupid clock again (feeling like bashing it against a wall, although I know it's only a metaphorical clock).

Beth and Gail spent ALL afternoon making me feel amazing, and special, and so, so blessed to have friends that are so giving. Beth did my nails (hot pink!), they massaged my legs, my belly, my arms, then B did my makeup and hair! She turned this:


into this:



The lighting here sucks, but DH sure noticed that I looked done up. J said "You had a shower, Mommy?". I said no, I didn't, and he told me that I looked pretty. *Swoon* My boys came for a little visit just after dinner, and it was nice for the three of us to spend some time together. I asked J if he knew when Ellie would be born, he said, "Feet". Hmmm... here's hoping that doesn't mean she'll be born when she shoves her feet out my cervix.

My boobs, which I were complaining about earlier, are ENGORGED. Literally, they're fill to the brim. Feeling rather uncomfortable, I checked it out in the bathroom, and whereas last week if I lightly squeezed my nipple, and maybe a drop would come out, today it sprayed a good two feet. Yikes! I wonder if that's go anything to do with the hormones from all the contractions yesterday. I should know, but I'm not entirely certain how all these crazy biological things function.

Head ache is still pretty killer, and I am really upset that the IV hep lock they put in this morning closed before they could flush it this afternoon. With the heparin, you'd think I could have one of those suckers in for longer than 24 hours and still have it function. Nope... If I have to go back downstairs for whatever reason, and I'm sincerely hoping that I don't have to, they've got one spot left on my right arm. Other than that, I look like a drug addict.

Who knows how tonight is going to play out, I have no expectations. I'm just tired, so I hope that I can sleep :)
