My Sis was allowed to come home last night. But, only after they were able to set up homecare to come to the house every day to check on her. She will still be on strict bedrest. We have all been recruited. Mom and I will trade shifts next week making sure she does not get out of bed and watching “J2”. He doctor will induce her a week from Wednesday if she hasn’t gone into full labour. So that will make it two and a half weeks she will have had to wait. Baby Neice is weighing in at almost 6lbs and according to the u/s looks happy and healthy.
We are well into our fertility experiment. This will be our only shot at this experiment as Hubby’s work apparently cancelled coverage for fertility drugs without telling anyone!! So, like our ivf, this will be our only kick in the can. $1000 for drugs for an experiment just cannot be justified in our budget. We only went into this one as we thought we were still covered. So far so good, I have not had any side effects of the drugs and will go for a first round of tests on Sunday to see how they are working (which better be perfect considering the cost 😉 ).
My younger sister went into preterm labour yesterday!! She is at 35 weeks and her water started “leaking” with mild contractions. They took all day to get her an ultrasound to check out the little bean, so she was confined to bed all day. Then, after the ultrasound decided that she needed to stay at the hospital on bedrest for at least a week to try and keep the baby in for another week. Oh the tears!!!! And I completely understand, it was her first night away from her little guy “J2”, who is two and a half. I was able to go in and see her yesterday and “J” and “J2” got to have a playdate at Grandma’s house. Which meant I also got to catch up on all my work 🙂
Unfortunately the hospital is not yet set up with WiFi, so I couldn’t even give her a computer to play with. Apparently they are working on it, just haven’t quite got there yet, “should be in for your next baby” they said. So poor thing will be hanging out, in bed, all day long. I would be bawling too, but I did remind her to catch up on sleep and reading while she doesn’t have to run after a toddler and a new born. Let Grandma run 😉 (I did offer too, but Grandma has a visitor who used to be a Nanny so she has back up).
So for now, we will wait for our little niece, hoping that she will wait another week to show up, just long enough so she doesn’t have to be in Nicu and can come home to Mom and Dad and her Big Brother.
Hang tight almost Valentine.
Happy Valentine’s. I wish you all a day full of Love and Happiness, surrounded by the ones you Love.
My day started at 4:30am, yes, we have moved up a half an hour!! But, I am well rested as I went to bed at 7pm with “J” last night as my head was splitting in two. When I ask “J” the question “Guess What?” he replies, “I Love You”. So this morning as I was carrying him downstairs at the crack of dawn or well before the crack of dawn, I asked “Guess What?” and sure enough I got my reply. That is the best way to start Valentine’s other than maybe sleeping another half an hour.
I have now been replaced by “Woody” and “Buzz Lightyear” and we are already on viewing number one of “Toy Story“. I am starting to think that it was not such as good an idea that we thought it was to pick it up on Saturday. Not sure yet, but I think we will be weening off “Toy Story” sometime today.
Happy Valentine’s Everyone
