Wow, we’ve had quite the interesting week so far- and it’s only Wednesday!!!
Monday night we had our hospital tour- it was the only opening till October 25th which was cutting it a bit close. The tour was decent enough- I’m a bit disappointed with their in room ‘Jacuzzi’s’ which is really nothing more than a standard size bathtub. I was hoping for a larger tub that Josh would be able to sit behind me in to offer comfort and relaxation. For all visitors- parking in Ramp #7 and taking the Skywalk over Michigan Street to the hospital is probably going to be your best bet. If you bring in your parking card, the information desk might validate it for you so you won’t have to pay to park. (You can always try J)
Well, (Tuesday) we had another trip to the hospital. I woke up thinking my water had broke and my doctor recommended I go in to get checked. After a few hours in Labor & Delivery, let’s just say (unfortunately) it wasn’t my water breaking…. But, the good news is we got to listen to Mason’s heartbeat for a bit and we got to see some contractions I didn’t know I was having.
As I blogged a few days ago, our appointment was rescheduled from Monday to yesterday (Wednesday), which is good because we got to see Dr. Leazenby for the first time today. He will be the one to deliver Mason as MaryAnne is not able to do VBAC deliveries or C-sections. He said that the weird (and burning sensation) pain I have right at the tip of my left rib all of the time is from stretching ligaments that connect to my ribcage and that there's not a ton to do about it. Oh well, good to know it's not anything serious. I put ice on it at nights that makes it feel better. Plus I gained 5 pounds in two weeks- ick--- has a lot to do with water weight though as my hands and feet are pretty much swollen all of the time- gotta love pregnancy haha. :)
So anyway, things are going decent enough. I’m still trying to hustle to get some things done around the house so that I won’t feel so behind when Mason comes, but unfortunately I kind of feel like I’m spinning my wheels and not getting too far. Oh well- it’ll all be fine. Mason doesn’t care if everything is in its place or not.
So, until next time!
<-- the gown- nice eh?
<--- This is a self portrait of myself after admitting came in to give me my bracelet, but before the nurse lady came in to let me know that she didn't see any ferns under the microscope meaning my water didn't break. (If it was amniotic fluid, it'd appear as ferns under a microscope.)
