Day Two: Tuesday August 27

Written August 27, 2013 1:40am

Hot diggity!

My contractions slowed considerably. I'm still feeling the side affects of the mag drip but I'm so relieved to know that it's doing its job. Worth it!

Andrew scooted home to take care of Nugget the hamster, shower (lucky!) and grab a few things. I realized I probably slept yucky the night before due to a lack of having my snoodle (amazing body pillow that takes up a TON of room). Now that I have it I am confident I'll be able to sleep better.

I'm still on a clear diet which kind of stinks. Thankfully I have unlimited access to popsicles though! I tortured myself by watching Food Network. I only lasted through one recipe. You know you're hungry when you want a big ole pile of peas.
*Food Update! I had solid food for dinner. dinner of choice? Pizza from around the corner. I think it may be the best thing I've ever eaten.

The doctor checked in with us around 6:30. As long as my body continues to respect the magnesium he sees no reason why I can't go off it around 2 pm Wednesday. Hot dog! I would probably get move up to the residential floor. Hopefully I'll live here for a while until Munchkin is bigger. 

Andrew is more confident with unhooking and rehooking me to the machines. This gives me a little bit of independence so I don't have to rely on the nurse every half hour. Nothing screams NEEDY like on the hour requests for a potty break.

Thank you for all the outpouring of support. Andrew has been an amazing secretary. As soon as I'm off the mag drip I'll be in better spirits to talk on the phone or respond to emails.
