Things are looking good

So it's Monday morning, and I've officially been at the hospital for 4 1/2 days now. My routine is being established which includes wonderful breakfast in the morning (not really the hospital food isn't great), being put on the monitor for 2 hours, then antibiotics, followed by trying to entertain myself. The there's lunch and dinner and another 2 hours on the monitor. My mom was really sweet the other day and brought me a stitching craft to do for Dallas' room. It's nice to feel like I'm doing something. Yesterday, my dad and brother brought us over the sacrament. What a blessing it is to have the church and the preisthood sonreadily available. It was a tender moment for me.

We continue to have an overwhelming support system. It seems like around 3 in the afternoon a visitor will come and will be replaced by another visitor until 9 or 930. I really enjoy those times to laugh and talk. My nurse said last night that there was a patient here from Mesquite in a similar situation here who didn't have many visitors because she lived so far away. I can't imagine having to deal with this alone. The scripture that says something to the degree mourn with those that mourn and stand with this in need of comfort gives me a whole new understanding, I have truly felt that.

As far as an update on my situation, I'm in the best situation possible. Dallas is a strong healthy baby. All the doctors and nurses reassure us that whenever they see us. In fact my OB came this morning saying he's not really sure what to do, that I look really good, and can't really put his finger as to what is going on. (I guess that may throw some concerns, but I interpret as my situation is so good, he almost wonders if I should be here) but I'm doing good too. My IV was taken out yesterday, so I have free reign in terms of walking (they won't let me escape...I already tried) ;) I don't have any leakage right and and no contractions. So I couldn't ask for things to be any better.

Everyone seems to be asking how I'm doing, and I can honestly say that I'm doing good. This is something I need to go through right now and I have no doubt that I'm being watch over and I will get through this. I have questions that are not answered, but they're more along the lines of how it's going to be when he's here. I'm not worried about whether I still get to have a vaginal delivery, or if he's going to be in the NICU because I know it will be for his benefit. I read a scripture yesterday that put how I feel in perspective....3nephi 13:34...take therefore not thought for tomorrow, for the morrow shall take thought form things of itself. I trust heavenly father completely and know that my family will be taken care of.

So keep a look out for my updates, maybe next time I'll figure out how to post some pictures with my iPad. :) thank you again for your love,support, and prayers.
