The Hospital Part 1

Its about 2:30am and I am exhausted! Today went by so fast which I needed but was insanely busy. Savanna woke up again in the middle of the night or I should say 5am because her "tent" broke,which is a blanket I drape over part of her bed. Since Dan was awake already he just told her to come lay in our bed. I wasn't to happy bout that since I knew neither of them would now fall back to sleep and I definitely wouldn't since a pin dropping wakes me. So of course they kept me up and then got ready for school while the whole time I tried to sleep, again which I didn't. Dan took them to school and was gonna let me rest but all I did was sit and look at the wall.

While sitting there and making lists of things I needed to do and pack my phone rang. It was the child life specialist that was gonna be at the hospital to help explain what we needed to, to the kids. She also said there would be a bag of stuff for them and a booklet for me to read on certain ways that may help talking to them. Made me feel good though because she commended me that I have told the kids about Faith being sick and not knowing what will happen. So it took an ease off my heart that I made it easier for my babies.

From that point on it was up and at em. We headed first to my parents to pick a trailer up to get hay for the horses, and I printed off some papers I needed and made some calls then on to the next. By the time we got home and moved horses around it was a mad rush to finish what I needed to pack and shower so I could take Savanna in to get our feet done together and pick the camera up.

Well Washington I was am not happy with,cause on the way in Bev called(which I asked her a long time ago to be here for me and Dan in the hospital)and informed me she had 5 inches of snow and 6-10 inches was supposed to come down tonight! Serious why?! So in other words she may not make it. This would make two people I planned on being here, being here. First was Teresa the only one person I knew and met and Bev. As I was talking to her it became a total white out on the freeway but we made it to get our nails done. Savanna of course got pink and wanted me to do purple. She also got a flower and told me I needed one too so that we would match and I would think of her when I was at the hospital. So sweet!

By the time we got home we were already late to be at Mels for dinner and to drop the kids off. But we got there unloaded and ate dinner. Saying goodbye was so hard! Ryan prayed I hugged them all one last time, got in the car and broke down. I was and am soooo scared about oh so many things. We stopped by Target(fave store)on the way up, checked in and ran into Lu at the elevator. As far as I was told they were supposed to be going home that morning but she was still in the hospital. It was so nice to see her and someone I knew.

As we got downstairs I met my nurse for the night who showed us our room. Which I thought was gonna be in the NICU wing so I wasn't rooming with all the normal delivery moms but nope. But I must say the rooms HUGE and at the end of the hall so I'm ok with it. I asked though how far the NICU was from the room and she offered to go show us. All the rooms were full is why we didn't get one of those. But then she showed us the actual NICU, and seeing those babies in there it hit me that she may be in those rooms. Dan and Marci (my nurse) both comforted me while I pulled it together and made it back to the room to put on my LOVELY robe and get all set up.

She put the monitors on then the IV(OW!) and checked my cervix which was 2cm and 70% effaced since yesterday. So at that point she had to ask the dr what to do since she was gonna just stat the petocin....which I was not ready to have a baby yet. When she came back she gave me a pill just to work along with me cervix. Now the whole reason I was ok with coming in tonight was because they said I could get medicine to rest. Well little did I know that medicine was in shot form and in my butt, and did it hurt!

I got pretty sleepy but as I said its now 3am and I'm yet to fall asleep. Now I'm tired and resting but not sleeping. Which how can you when you have a nurse coming in all the time to check on me. As I type this I am having a ton of contractions and super tired. So until I have a chance again that is what is going on. So hopefully next time I write it will be a story of how good Faith is doing, so please please pray!
