Christmas carolers

Friday... was probably the most uncomfortable day for me so far. The babies were just pushing and poking me all day long. I just started taking procardia twice a day and yet I still had to have the terb shot to control my contractions more efficiently. I was extremely discouraged and felt like I may deliver these babies any day now. Also, I didn't get to see Craig at all that day due to work scheduling. I didn't get to see him Monday either. :( It is getting easier to not have to see him every day. We are adjusting.

My spirits were lifted when my friends Jennifer and Vickie stopped by. They brought me lunch and some yummy Christmas cookies. Later that afternoon, the Christmas carolers came down the hall singing Christmas carols. I was already somewhat down emotionally and laying in my bed doing nothing when I heard the people singing outside my room. I immediately got upset and started to cry. I got up and opened my door to listen to them for a few seconds before they made their way down the hall. Then, I waved at another antepartum mom, who was standing at her door, she waved back and we both went back to our rooms. It was so nice of them to do such a sweet thing for us.

Saturday....was much better. I didn't have too much pain and discomfort. I did have my normal contractions, but nothing too extreme. Thank goodness because I needed a break. It was a low-key day. I did some reading and computer work while listening to some Christmas music. After Craig got off from work, he came up to the hospital with Lacy. It has been a while since I have seen her. She actually acted like she knew who I was this time. I think maybe she is getting used to the hospital environment. The three of us had a good time watching the football game together. Craig is going to bring Lacy back up to see me on Christmas day--we are looking forward to that.

Sunday...Kevin, Jill and their kiddos are supposed to stop by. We will have Christmas/birthday gifts to give to them. We'll just do an early Christmas with them.
