I miss my babies

Nurse vs Nurse

There will always be one nurse that is so different from the other. I have been here for a week as of tomorrow and so far in exception to last night, I have had great nurses. Especially at night.
The day nurses I'm usually asleep but even they are great too.

Well last night. I had some bad contractions like 3-5 minutes apart. Like it totally hurt my lower back. I had a hard time sleeping. I felt pretty restless and was even worried I was going to deliver. So around 3ish in the morning..I complained about being in pain and I think the docs may have to check me. She automatically answered for them and said "they're not going to check you." ALL the other nurses day or night when I've complained about pain have called in a doc to check me to see if there has been any cervical change...SOOO I don't even think she mentioned anything to them although she said she would. I told her about it at 3, a doc didn't see me until close to 6 in the morning. Seriously!

I'm kind of glad that I didn't go into labor during her shift. (Sigh of relief) Well, I know that some nurses may not like some patients because dude, I barely paged her and kept asking for anything until I felt pain. Part of her job description right?!? Oh well. I hope I get a nice nurse when I actually deliver.

Ready to go

I am so ready to go home. I've been here since Thursday and nothing has changed. I started to get heart burn last night and thought that today was the day. Nope I was wrong. I'm still at 6 cm, started to have contractions but they have subsided.

I'm just waiting for the docs to do their rounds and hopefully they say go home on bed rest. It does suck to be here and nothing progresses. A part of me just wants to have this kid already. I know holding off as long as possible will be the best thing, but I dont know when he decidess to come or not. Its crazy cuz I was here last week at 4 cm and back again at 6. Watch me be back here next week then be at 8. Its just frustrating.

Well I miss the kids, my bed, the dogs, and my tv, We'll see what they say. They should be comng in soon,

In the hospital

Here I am in the hospital again. I've been here since Thursday evening. I went to my regular high risk appt, my fetal monitoring to my ultrasound and with those appointment found out I was 5 cm dialted, 80% efaced, -2. Sooo now I'm at 6 cm dialated but everything is still the same.
I hate it cuz now I'm on oxygen cause I had a fluid overload with IV.

Well I'm pretty much here until I deliver. Things may change but its pretty much day by day

32 Weeks and 1 day

So I am very happy I did not give birth on my birthday. I was in the hospital last week to stop preterm labor. I was in the hospital for 4 days. Yup pretty much all week. Had to get the steriods for baby's lungs, magnesium sulfate to stop the contractions, fetal monitoring for all day and all night. I dilated to 4 cm 70% efaced and -3. So I'm still at 4 cm, water is still in tact and I was stable enough to go home.

Yesterday was mine and AJ's 5th bday. I was so nervous that I was going to completely lose my bday if I popped on my bday. (of course that would totally be the odds) But I didn't woohoo. So we didn't do much, just had a gathering at Lisa's house and the kids played a little bit at Strikes in Elk Grove. I wanted to have a bday party for him, but knew I wouldn't have the energy for it.

Anyways, I'm hoping I make it close enough to my due date which is Nov 29th. Part of me just wants to have this kid already. I just don't like feeling uncomfortable anymore. Getting up in the mid of the night to use the restroom, just getting up from the couch and bed. I'm just tired. But as long as I make it 34 weeks then we are in the clear.

All I know is after this baby is born, I won't be getting any kind of sleep. It's okay I know it will be worth it.
