Frosty the Snowman

Today has been another uneventful day as far as contractions go....YEAH!! The highlight of my day was tonight when Jason and Mallory came to see me. If you missed it, tonight was the night that CBS had Frosty the Snowman, Frosty Returns, and The Flight Before Christmas on. The 3 of us watched these shows until 9:00 and then Jason and Mallory went home to get ready for bed. I have missed so much in the past 5 weeks with Mallory and Jason so I am so glad we got to spend this time together tonight as a family. It really makes me sad thinking about all of the little things I have been missing out on this year.

My doctor has said there is a chance I might get to go home soon. She said she had thought if I made it to 32 weeks she would think about it. (I'm 32 weeks tomorrow!!) Since I haven't had to get a shot since Monday she feels good about how things are going but she wants to see how the ultrasound looks on Monday. Then we also talked about not letting me go home until at least after the bad weather expected next week clears out so I don't have to worry about hurrying back here on icy roads. She said she was going to call the High Risk doctor at Mercy to get a second opinion about how to move forward with me. If I get to go home I will be put on a pump with the medication I am currently on which will ensure that I have a steady dose of medication on board and it will also give me the option of giving an extra dose if I am having too many contractions. This extra dose would be the equivalent of the shots I am getting at the hospital. My friend Karen and I were talking this morning and we think we figured out why Sunday nights have been bad for me the past couple of weeks. The past couple of weeks we have had a front move through on Sunday. These fronts have thrown so many ladies into labor that the hospital ends up full each time. It is no wonder that it has made my contractions go crazy too. Of course we are expecting a front again on Sunday! Hopefully this Sunday will be better than the last 2 Sunday nights!
