As many of you have probably heard by now, I started bleeding Monday afternoon and came to the maternity ward to get checked out. What I didn't expect was that I would actually be getting checked in! My dr. shocked me yesterday morning when she told me I had to stay here until the baby was full-term, or for the next 12 WEEKS. I am really hoping at some point to be able to go home and be on bedrest there but it doesn't look likely. Apparently the risk of hemmorhage is way too high, and it can happen in minutes. So . . . for my own records I thought I'd keep a daily account of what it's like to live in the hospital.
Yesterday was the first full day. It was also the day my precious Emmie turned five. She seems so old! She, Allie, and Ethan came by last night and we had a little party in my room. (Ryan stayed the night with Ethan's folks.) Emmie got to pick out her own birthday present; she chose art supplies and silly putty. They had such fun bouncing the silly putty around the room and coloring pictures to put on my walls. Emmie declared it to be her "best birthday ever!"
Allie lost a tooth at breakfast yesterday. I had been keeping an eye on it for quite a while. I already feel like I'm missing important life details. I watched something like seven episodes of "House Hunters" on HGTV. Took a bath, which was a pure luxury after laying in bed all day. Tried to figure out childcare for my kiddos. I miss them and Ethan so much!

I'm so sorry, Kimberly. But glad your daughter had a great bday. Isn't it funny how sometimes we think something is just horrible because it's not how we envisioned and our kids end up thinking it's a great adventure?
Oh my goodness Kimberly. I am so sorry and worried about you and that baby. Please, Please let me know if there is anything we can do, I would love to help watch kids or whatever...not the funnest way to spend the holidays. (We are out of town until Sunday but keep me in touch and I'll keep you in my prayers.
