It was 7 weeks ago today that I was admitted to the hospital for preterm labor. While it all does seem like such a blur, I am so happy to be at this point. That day when we were admitted, the thought of 7 weeks of bedrest sounded impossible. How could I just lay in bed for 7 weeks of my life???????? But we have surpassed every little goal we had made for ourselves and now have just a few more goals to meet!!! I really do believe it has been our positive attitudes that has helped us accomplish those goals. And in a weird way, I never really believed anything bad was going to happen in those early weeks. We also have had practically the entire country praying us: from Virginia to St. Louis, to Indiana, to Kansas, to Minnesota and Illinois then over to Montana, and Colorado, then to Arizona, California, Oregon, and Washington.
Of course, we still have 3 more weeks to get through!!!! Now every little new pain or sensation I feel I do question in the back of my head–is this it????
One would think that I must be getting extremely bored at this point. But, the answer is no, I am not bored, at least not yet. I actually have enjoyed having the time to read books, knit, play on the internet etc….Also ( and this is scary –more for Ryan more than me) I have not missed work one bit, not even an ounce.!!! Not sure what I’ll feel like when I do eventually need to get back to work–but for right now-it is the last thing on my mind!!!!!!!!!!!
