The Day's Gone By *Update from this morning's post*

I'm still sitting here in the hospital, but the day feels like it has gone by pretty darn fast. I got to talk to my doctor this morning and he told me that they'd monitor me today and he'd see me in the morning (when I hopefully get to go home). This is a different doctor than I had yesterday. My favorite doctor is definitely the one that I had yesterday, but I like all three of my doctors. I get along well enough with them. Today's doctor basically told me that he won't be checking me again unless contractions get really bad because he doesn't want something to start that could be prevented. I had the ultrasound today, too, and they said that everything looks great. They still think that there could be some possible bleeding that just isn't showing up on the ultrasound.

After about 12 hours of not being able to eat, I was finally able to get some food and juice! They brought me in some french toast and a bowl full of fruit. Of course I shared with my hubby. He deserves it as much as I do. And I wanted to make sure that he keeps up on his energy. I also got to take a take a nice long shower. I have never been so grateful for a shower. I just felt so icky from not showering for 15 hours. And I had sweated a ton last night. Before I got in the shower, I got my catheter taken out! Relief! Well...at first, there was pain and THEN there was relief. Those things aren't the most comfortable. It did make it nice and convenient that I didn't have to get up out of bed to go to the restoom, though. I feel like I've been bothering the nurses a bit too much with all of my "I need to go to the bathroom" requests since I've gotten my catheter taken out. It's mainly because I'm plugged up too all these different monitors and I didn't know how to unhook them. (Thankfully, my nurse just showed me how so now I can do it by myself! YAY! I love independence. I just don't like feeling like a burden to someone.)

Things are going pretty good. I've had a few annoying contractions, but they haven't been all that consistent. I've had a ton of back pain, though. From the looks of things, I think I'll get to go home tomorrow. *crosses fingers* I really hope so. I like being able to just get up and pee when I need to and not having to buzz a nurse.

I'm not sure if Andrew put this on facebook, but the doctor's aren't going to be stopping contractions anymore. I don't know if this means that I'll still be on bedrest when I go home or what. Of course I'm going to take things easy. If I can keep this baby cooking, I will do whatever I can. I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow! Three weeks away from full-term. I would really like to make it those three weeks. It would even be amazing if I make it beyond! I guess we'll have to see. Keep cooking, Baby Kayson, keep cooking. I'll keep y'all in the know about what's been going on.
