We're Finally Home!
We got to bring Carly home yesterday after a lot of work. Now we are home and I have been trained to give her the medications. Luckily, her IV comes out tomorrow night after we are finished! I will be so happy then. I didn't like giving her the medicine b/c it makes her uncomfortable, but I'd rather be home and taking care of her myself than being at that stuffy hospital any longer! She defintely already has Todd wrapped around her finger. We made a quick family outing to babies r us this afternoon and he insisted on buying any girl item that said " i love my daddy" on it! It's so nice to just be spending time at home. I felt so far away while I was at the hospital. I've never been to prison but I would think a hospital is similar.
Carly had a wonderful night last night. She slept in her crib. We laid her down at 11 maybe and we went to bed. She woke up at 3 to eat and went back to sleep. We got up at 6 to do her medicine. She had to take both kinds this morning so it took over an hour for the whole process to be complete. at 7:45 we all went back to bed and stayed until 11:30 this morning!! For Todd that is unheard of, but he's not been getting much rest this past week. She stayed up a while this afternoon, but went to sleep went we went to Babies R Us and hasn't woken up since. She's a sleeper! And she's quite content just hangin out looking around. Hopefully that won't change!
Thank you for all your prayers!

6 days left....at the most!
Today did not go the way I wanted it to. All this week I have been having "signs" that labor is on it's way...yeah, they must be my mind playing tricks on me! Today's doctors visit was not what I expected, and really wasn't what I wanted. I've lost three pounds...that puts me back to a weight gain of 7 pounds, and my blood pressure was excellent (that's what the nurse said). But, other than that...no other changes. Goodness. The doctor that checked me today said that the baby's head is down but the baby "kept floating away" .... So, I feel that it's safe to say that we'll be heading to the hospital next Wednesday. Even though I know that God's plan is much better than what my impatience could ever bring, it doesn't make me any more patient. (If anyone out there was praying that I would find patience....please stop!) I know Todd would LOVE for this baby to come on Father's Day or his birthday - which is the day we're being induced - but what about me? (How selfish did that sound? ha )
It's alright, we've got a busy weekend ahead. Hopefully it will go by quickly and then we'll just have to wait through Monday and Tuesday. Then this baby will come and I can eat whatever I want and I can have a beer! Woohoo!
One great thing has happened this week! Lindsay had her little baby girl, and she is so precious! She's little and beautiful! Just like a babydoll! I can't believe Lindsay is a Mommy...(I still can't quite believe that I'm going to be a mommy now that I think about it...) Maybe she's made my baby shy to come....
