Friday doesn't always mean Funday

Annoying/Stressful day at the doctors and the hospital...

All was going good at the appt: she's head down, heartbeat sounds good, cervix is soft (wahoo!) and 20% effaced. And then there was a good amount of bleeding. Which is not normal for me or from a doc's perspective. So after much discussion with the head MD, they decided I (mostly Gracie) needed to be monitored at Sunnyside and that I shouldn't work for 3 days. We were told we needed to head straight there, no time to get our bags or a snack! I was playing it cool up until that point, no time? no snack? what!?

So off to Sunnyside we go and get hooked up to monitors that show Gracie's heartbeat and my contractions. Both MD's at the hospital were busy (1 in OR and 1 in ER) which left us there several hours longer than anticipated. They good news is that Gracie seems to be doing just fine, heart rate is good, and I do not have anything wrong with my placenta. She was being a little pill and making the nurses really work, she kept moving around which would make it hard to find her heartbeat, they were literally chasing her around my stomach with the monitor. And much to my surprise there were lots more contractions than I thought I was having. Quite and active duo we had today between Gracie and my uterus :)

Unfortunately they didn't do an ultrasound, which royally pissed me off. I can understand their reasoning for not needing one, but I will try agaon next time (in 2 weeks when I have my next appt). She feels average weight and they have no reason to believe she will be a 10 pounder...at this point. They sent me home with not a lot of info, but what we did have was news that Gracie is healthy.

I swear I will pack my hospital bag tonight or tomorrow and keep a book and phone charger nearby. I keep telling myself that, but after todays scare I really mean it!

Things I really hate:
moving
making food
bending over
putting shoes on
peeing 30x/day
andrews new ring tones
when barney has to wear his cone of shame
dealing with customer service
people screwing up my takeout order
not getting my way, just do what I say and there won't be any problems

Things I love:
knowing someone probably has it worse off than me (mean I know, but it's the truth and this is my blog so I can say what I want)
barney cuddling with me
watching Breaking Bad episodes with Andrew
pretty much all my TV shows
massages
unexpected farts, they are SO funny
when spike farts
nap time
