Day 5 in bed. Not too bad. Got a little cranky today for the first time. My blood sugars were all over the map due to the steriod shots and pre-term labor situation. But, I think we are figuring things out. My favorite doctor (okay, i've only seen her twice but I am declaring her my favorite anyway)....As I was saying, my favorite doctor came in this afternooon and we figured out a plan for my Insulin Pump that I think is going to work out really well. And even if it doesn't I know she will be on top of changing things around so I'm a happy camper. Also, she wants me to eat two snacks a day! I never eat snacks! And her suggestion: Cheese and Crackers or a handful of Peanut M&M's. Yes, Please!
Grandma and Grandpa Westby came to visit with Aunt Kareena. It is GOOD to have visitors. The walls eventually start to look pretty boring. A-hem. Kareena brought a bunch of chick flicks...Yeah! And Grandma Westby brought me a beautiful Iris from her yard. I will think of Tayler Iris every time I see it! So, that makes me very happy, of course.
A few minute ago the nurse came and took out my last IV! I just have to drink plenty of water by mouth and am back on the insulin pump so no longer need the IV. I've had a few IVs since I got here and the sites are pretty sore. I think this one will be okay because they put it in very carefully. The first three I had were in the emergency room and it was PAINFUL. Two of my veins blew after the IV was in so they kepts having to start over. A little stressful. A little stressful...
T wants to spend the night tonight...which, I am all for. Except for the tiny little fact that I don't really want her to witness me going in to labor and then having a tiny preemie immediately. Because, apparently, when you go into labor after having your membrane rupture...You Have the Baby! Like, immediately. So, maybe not such a good idea. I am glad she is comfortable here though. And, I don't plan on having the baby anytime soon. I'm just saying.

Yippee, I love the good news :) Yeah, Tayler probably shouldn't stay the night, I agree. I wouldn't want her to hear someone else screaming in labor in the night, let alone you. I hope things are quieter for you today. Thinking of you! At least you aren't missing out on any nice weather.
Love,
Kareena
