I can't believe I've been here a week already. Ewh. At least I've been able to sleep the last two nights. My doctor gave me Benadryl two nights ago and that seemed to work. I was pretty tired last night so I decided to go without Benadryl and it worked just fine. I slept a decent amount. Hooray!
Dr. H (Perinatologist) came in this morning to see me and said everything continues to look good with the babies and myself. She gave me another pep talk about getting to week 36 and how great that would be. They've decided to take me off iron vitamins since my iron level is perfect and I'm close to delivering in the next two weeks. The original plan is still in place. They will not stop labor if it starts and if I begin to develop pre-eclampsia they will deliver. If I make it to week 36, July 30th will be the babies' bday.
The NST (non-stress test) went well this morning. The babies' heartbeats are all strong and the contraction test showed uterine irritability, which is expected when you're this far along! The longer the contractions stay at bay, the closer I'll get to 36 weeks.
I enjoyed my visitors today. It was so nice to see them! Happy Birthday Camille!!! Thank you for the wonderful Il Vicino lunch - yummy!! Also, thank you for the roses, spinach salad, and CLOTHES!! I hope you did something special for yourself today!! :) Marie and I had a lot of fun too! It was so nice to have her visit. She brought me a goodie bag filled with awesome treats. I have my own special stash now so I won't complain about the food for a while. :) She also brought me two books to read! Today was a good day. I have been spoiled by friendship and treats!! Thank you ladies, you made day 8 of my captivity one to remember!! :)
Another huge surprise today is Ben!! He showed up tonight to spend the night and will work remotely from here tomorrow. I am soooo excited! I missed him so much! Hooray for surprises!! :)
