Well, I have been blessed with an over active uterus. My little girls are trying to find their way out of my tummy. It was discovered on Tuesday when I went in for my perinatalogy appointment and I complained to my doctor about having contractions and she did a little ultrasound and discovered that my cervix was opening. I was admitted to the Labor and Delivery floor at Utah Valley Hospital. They shot me with steroids and magnesium and a couple of other meds to try to stop the contractions. I went from not being dialated to being dialated to a 2+.
I have been moved to another wing of the hospital called Antipartum. I spend my time doing...NOTHING!!!! I have slowly lost tubes; I am not hooked up to anything except these lovely little leg squeezers that are used to prevent blood clots. I get to order food from this fabulous thing called "Room Service". But I miss my family. I miss my hubby and my kids. They mean everything to me and it is really hard to be away from them. But loved ones have stepped up and taken care of my little family. MY HUBBY ROCKS!!!!
My third day here, my students from American Beauty Academy dropped a package off on my door step and my husband delievered it to me later that day. Inside was a fabulous pink pillow, chocolates and this stuffed animal.
This stuffed animal is special to me because when Jenna, my little sister, was in the hospital receiving chemo she had a stuffed animal called "Husky". He went with her for every hospital stay, so it was very touching to me to pull my own little "Husky" out and look at him when I feel scared or alone.
