Well I can honestly say that I am ready to get out of bed. You should see how white I am. YUCK! My legs have lost all tone they once had. My every other day shower privileges tire me out, Wheelchair rides outside are the highlight of my days(When I get them). I know every nurse here by name, I know all of my doctors partners and the names of their kids. I have become friends with the cleaning ladies, the chaplain, the music therapist, dietitian, massage therapist, physical therapist.
THE GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!
I am in my 30th week! We had a sono this week and Killian looked great, growing right on schedule. He weighs 3lbs9oz. He has lots of hair and big feet. He was showing off for me too, playing with his toes. The rupture on my placenta could not be found on the sono, so that was very exciting news.
I did have a little bit of a scare Monday night and into Tuesday. I had contractions all night long every 4 mins. They gave me meds to try and stop them and after several hours they stopped. Before then I was not dilated or effaced at all, after the contractions I was dilated to a 2 and 20% effaced. Luckily the contractions stopped and I did not go into active labor, we are hoping they do not come back. Many people can be dilated to a 2 for several weeks before the labor goes any further.
Killian is still being a warrior and holding on. I cannot wait to get to know this little boy, I feel like we are going to have such a special bond because of all of this. (He is kicking me hard as I type this.) He is way more active than Leo was. Leo did not move around or kick a whole lot, but Killian never stops moving, I don't think he sleeps. Leo is getting excited about having a brother, when he gets here he jumps in my bed and kisses my belly before he kisses me, he says "hi baby brudder, love you baby brudder." it is so sweet. :)
