I've had a pretty calm couple days. I'm responding to the Procadia and not having too many contractions. Olive is looking great. But, I'm still not to that all important 35 week point, the point where there is a chance she could avoid the NICU all together. Plus, I am at least still 4cm dilated, so it's not like they can assume nothing is going on.
Toni came in today and let me know that I wouldn't be going anywhere until at least Saturday. I had already assumed this, so I can take it. Saturday would put me at 35 weeks. She said they may want to keep me until Monday, but that we will reassess my situation on Saturday. She didn't check my cervix, because it wouldn't really matter and because they don't want to stir anything up. If they check me on Saturday and I'm 5cm or more, I don't think they will let me go anywhere. At that point, Toni said it would be too dangerous to let me go 25 minutes away from the hospital. There's no reason to assume anything... I just have to wait until Saturday. Just two days away. If I didn't miss my kids so bad that it literally hurts, it would be no big deal. Toni said that it was hard to comply when your heart hurts. So true.
Valentine's Day is Sunday. I had great plans of homeschool Valentine's Day activities, cupcakes, a party with Anna and Bennett... and now I'm here. I want them to have a great Valentine's Day, even if I can't be there. Who knows... maybe we'll all get a new baby as a Valentine's Day present.
