Admitted.

It's true. I'm admitted to the hospital for up to 6 weeks. What was that? Admitted?? Yes. I went to my OB appointment today for the usual ultrasound, cervical check... you know, the works. Zoey is strong, passed her biophysical profile with flying colors... but then we go to do the trans-vaginal ultrasound. The tech asks if I've had sex lately or exercised... I tell her no. I know the risks. So no, I haven't. She says, "You have two placentas... did you have twins?" No... read my chart. It explains it all... Then she leaves.

In comes my OB and her nurse. They tell me I have to go in an ambulance to Centennial Women's Hospital because the high risk dr I saw before is there and my care has to be handed over. I immediately broke into hysterics. An ambulance? Is that really necessary??

So what is the real problem? I've started to dilate and my pesky membrane is migrating into my cervix. WHAT? How far am I dilated? They couldn't measure that... apparently the ultrasound showed it but it was too dangerous to actually measure... so I have no idea what is going on downstairs. The ambulance ride was fine... the guys in the back were very nice and helpful and comforting. So now here I am... room 6223. Taking visitors.

Glenn is going to bring me things to do and my own clothes as we go along. They told me tomorrow I can wear my own so I intend on it... 6 weeks here?? Really? That doesn't seem like a reality. I got a steroid shot (again) and will get another one tomorrow. So that's 2 rounds of steroids... I feel confident that even if she is born soon, she'll be fine. The goal is to make it to 33 weeks... so 3 weeks to go... then we'll see what happens.

I'm hooking a Wii up in this joint aaaaand getting my Cricut Expression dropped off. I'm going to miss my furbabies soooo bad :( That makes me incredibly sad. But I'd do this all over again... Zoey is worth it and I couldn't ask for better care. So far everyone at this hospital has been wonderful. I am sad I had to give up my OB... you all know I love her. But she said she is going to visit me and bring me books! :) I can't wait...
