I was dreading this day. I knew that after lunch, Kris and Troy would be heading home. And I would be all alone. Sure enough. After lunch, Kris and Troy headed back to Wisconsin. It was the worst day yet. I laid in my bed and cried.
Later on, I was transferred to a post-partum room. Even though I was still pregnant, I was put on this floor, just to monitored since everything had calmed down. This is where I would remain until my baby was born. It would be no later than February 20th which would've been my 34th week. I was taking a prenatal vitamin, iron (since we didn't want a relapse of Troy's birth) and antibiotics. I had a team of doctors that would start visiting me every morning.
My room had large closets and cabinets. It had a couch, recliner and double bed. Yup, a double bed. AWESOME! It was much comfier than that laboring bed. My poor tailbone was crushed from laying for 4 days in that laboring bed. My bathroom had a HUGE jetted tub. I knew Troy was going to love it.
The team of doctors stopped in that even to meet me. They said I am aloud to get up for a total of 30 minutes per day. That included going to bathroom and shower. I could get up and refill my water pitcher. They said I would have a 20 to 45 minute fetal stress test every day. They also told me that I would be having a big ultrasound done the very next day since the baby's kidneys were enlarged and I had been constantly leaking fluid for 5 days.
Later in the afternoon, my brother Craig, sister in law Jen and niece Isabelle stopped to see me. Then I was really on my own. Jen thought that she would bring Troy down on Thursday to see me. I held on to hope that she would.
The first belly picture I had taken during this pregnancy. 1 picture is better than none I guess. This was it. Not much belly there.
Your little bump was so cute. I'm really enjoying reading the whole story leading up to Rylee's birth. You did well, mama! She's adorable, I love the new picture you have up of her too!
