Today was another day to mark off the calendar. My nurse today asked if it was starting to feel like "Ground Hogs Day" the movie. Yep!! That would explain it. Feels like I can't get out of here some days. But today was a little better.
My medicine made me sick this morning, so that woke me up. :/ Then Brett brought Gus, our dog, up to visit today which was nice. It was good to snuggle with my bud, Gus. We all had lunch together (not hospital food) which was also nice. Then my brother and sister-in-laws and nephews came to visit with flowers and a St. Patrick's day collosal cookie. We watched the movie Dreamer together and I laughed at the boys.
My nurse took me on a wheelchair ride...on a new route so it changed the scenery a little. And I soaked up some sun rays for some Vitamin D. On the way back in past the nurses desk I talked to the head or charge nurse about organizing an "anti-partum patient" support group for us. I guess there are 4 of us "anti-partums" on the floor now...and it would be good to vent, talk, support and laugh with others that are going through it I think. She said she would work on that. I think it would be a good thing...so we'll see if anything comes of it. I also tell them that they need a massage therapist here for us. Boy, do I seem to have all the "suggestions" for them. You get a different perspective on things when you've been here this long. For the most part, they do a great job though. And the nurses continue to be saviors for my mental health. Tomorrow they are even having a potluck lunch for me because I'm sick of the hospital food. Sweet! :)
Mom and Dad left Iowa and are enroute to Colorado now. Still excited about Kayle coming. I just have to keep reminding all the grandparents that I don't have control over when she decides to come. She has a mind of her own. :) I was glad that mom and dad stopped in Iowa to see Grandma and the family first. Sounds like they are all doing well. I hear my cousin even got mom and dad signed up on Facebook. How hilarious is that!?! Mom always makes fun of us for doing it. Hee! Hee! Enough for now...
We will keep you posted if anything changes...but at this point I think Kayle is "going the distance." (Isn't that saying from "Field of Dreams"? Sometimes I crack myself up.)
Hugs to everyone!

Shawna, I'm still keeping up with you and the baby! Hope all continues to go well...I know the hospital stay must be a drag (to say the least), but I know Kayle is getting bigger and stronger by the day. Can't wait to see her- once she's done "baking" of course ;-)
