Hospital Stay Day 7
This was a fairly low-key day with a few bits of excitement. This morning someone knocked on my door at 5:45 a.m. and told me he needed to draw blood. What a way to wake up! I am not 100% sure what tests they did but I found out later that everything looked good.
I finished my 24 hour urine test this afternoon but am still waiting for results. Hopefully there are no signs of protein since that is a sign of pre-eclampsia which is just not another complication that I need at the moment.
The great news is that I got to switch rooms today!! My previous room had a stellar view of a brick wall and it was a 2-bed room. Now I'm in a single bed room with an actual view and SUNSHINE. It's amazing how much a little bit of sun can affect your mood - I really appreciate that the nurses were so receptive to my request to move. About 4 of them swooped in and took all my stuff and moved it over to the new room - bed included! I have to hang up some of Maia's photos and artwork still but I think this is where I'll be until I leave Abbott.
Stacy came to visit today again and she loaned me a book on premature infants. I hate to think that I'll need it but I'm pretty sure I will so I'd certainly like to be as prepared as possible. Thanks again, Stacy! Her son was born at 25w6d (which is tomorrow in terms of my pregnancy) and he's doing so well so it gives me a lot of hope for us.
I told Ben to take the night off tonight. I think he's going to just relax and play some video games. He deserves it. My mom went over there tonight and made some dinner which will be nice to have leftovers for later.
I think I might be expecting several visitors tomorrow so I'm excited to see people, especially since it was just me tonight! I don't mind being alone - I have the TV and the cross-stitching but having visitors really helps break up the day.
