The babies have been VERY frustrating today! Nothing really bad, but I get hooked up to a heartrate monitor and contraction monitor twice a day. Sometimes I can be on and off in half an hour and sometimes I've been on for an hour to three... Today was an hour each time but only because after an hour we gave up trying to find the second baby. They have been in the same position for the last 2 weeks but today they were all out of whack! I feel bad, but it gets so frustrating because I have to listen to this obnoxious white noise, have to lay on my back which becomes super painful, and you just want them to be there and easy and when it doesn't happen its just hard. This morning we pretty much didn't have any reading. I asked to do the night one around 3:30 because yesterday they were perfect little angels at that time, but it was horrible today. My nurse ended up bringing in another nurse because she couldn't find the second baby and kept picking up the first one all over my belly. If the other nurse couldn't find it they were going to have the doctor do a quick ultrasound just to find out where they were! Finally they got like 10 minutes and the nurse called it quits. Then the doctor said it wasn't long enough and we had to sit through another hour after dinner! Argh!
I started my 24 hour urine this morning, but won't know how that goes till tomorrow afternoon. I did some labs and never heard back from the doctor, but I'm assuming they were fine or they would have said something. Plus we kind of have a big meeting tomorrow to look at all the results and see if I'm going home tomorrow. Still not excited about that. They told me today that my 2 ultrasounds a week can be done in Maple Grove but I have to check with my insurance if they are covered because their maternal fetal medicine part of the hospital is not Fairview. So I decided I will go back to Ridges for my ultrasounds. I really like their Maternal Fetal Medicine center there, its very cozy and modernized and I really like the doctors I have met there so far. Not to mention the doctors are all on rotations between the hospitals so odds are I could come across one of the doctors I've had here or seen there already.
My mom came to visit last night and we talked about moving in with my parents until we can find a house. Sounds like that's the plan. Its nothing against Jim's family but my step-dad is usually home and can bring me to the hospital if anything ever happens. Either way its been a real downer for me and Jim. When we moved out a year ago we didn't think we would ever go back. We just haven't had time to look for something else, it all kind of sneaked up on us. Story of our lives!
I had a lady come in today that does hand and arm massages! It was really nice, but definitely not Amy, my normal masseuse! Pretty sure I will be calling here soon, as long as I can get a massage approved as part of my bedrest!
The chamberlain came in again today and called me out on being a little depressed today. I can't really put my finger on it, but we do have a lot going on. Going home and my issues with that, but not really having a home to go to at this point. Not to mention she was one of those people I instantly connected with and either way tomorrow is her last day so that was a bummer on its own. It has been nice having a fresh face to vent to, who after I get it all out prays with me about everything. It brings closure to my issues without having to solve them, most of which can't be solved. I'm going to miss her a lot, in general, she was just such a good person!
Other than that not much to report. Like I said I've been kinda bummed, but no answers for sure why. Just have to hope and pray for the best. Tomorrow will be a big day and we'll see what they decide. In the meantime, hope you all have a good night and God bless!
Love-Heather, Jim, Anabell, and Isabell
