Update

Hey everyone! I haven't posted anything recently, but I have talked about that in the video. I created the video yesterday so it's actually a day old. As per my usual, the video isn't edited since I just want to be real with all of you.

I have also had several requests for a donation page. I finally published it yesterday. It's been a rough couple of weeks, so thank you all for hanging in there with me. If you'd like to donate, you can click here. Or on the right hand side of the page is a Paypal Donate button.

Also, my little sister is hosting a fundraiser for us through Paparazzi and that will be going through this Saturday. If you like jewelry, you can find Wendy's fundraiser here.

The 3rd Saturday and a Fundraiser

Good afternoon!
There isn't a lot going on lately which is why I don't post often so today I thought I would try to get a new post out. I need to take a minute to thank everyone who has visited me here in the hospital and brought things to keep my busy and the treats you've brought too.

On another note, I have a fundraiser that will begin on June 15th on Facebook to assist with medical bills and such for while I am here. If you're on my friends list already, you will automatically get an invite and if you're not but you'd like to virtually attend, just let me know and I'll make sure you get the invite.

I've been keeping busy with thing like reading, tv, blogs, Youtube videos, Facebook, Pinterest, Word Finds... well you get the idea. Not a lot of activity. I was hesitant to create this blog in the first place because I knew there wasn't going to be a lot to write or vlog about. So as long as you all stick with me I'll come up with things to write and vlog about. For now I have a visitor that just walked into the room. :)

A video... of me? Really!?

A few days ago, I decided to record a video blog for this. My husband said it might be a good way to add an additional layer to it. I had some issues getting the video to upload to YouTube. I've got all that fixed now and even though this is a couple days old I am sharing with you. So from here on out, I should be able to post updated blog posts and videos. Keep in mind that this is my very first video of me just talking and I was really nervous to do it.

Day One on Hospital Bed Rest

Day 1 (May 22)
It has been a rough day. Bryce took four hours off this morning to bring me to my appointment to check to see if I have had any changes. Not only were there changes, but changes that even I could visibly see on the sonogram screen. I knew right then that it meant hospital bed rest for sure. So it began with the sonogram, a meeting with the doctor and then straight across the street where I was placed in a temporary room until a room was cleaned from me. Another woman had her baby and was moved to a different area so I got her room. Her old home as I like to call it. Because for all intents and purposes, this is my home for the next unforeseeable future. Either until I have the baby or until 36 or 37 weeks if we make it that long. I was given Procardia, which made me sick, then some Zophran for the nausea and ... well you know. Bryce, my husband had come back after going to work to bring our son up to see me and during that time I noticed why I had been itching. I had broken out with big red welts on my arms. I called the nurse and she checked my vitals, called my doctor and I was given Benadryl. Turns out, I am allergic to the Procardia and out the window went part of the plan to keep baby cooking. My husband and my son had gone home and that wasn't easy knowing that my son wouldn't understand why I was staying in the hospital. My food for dinner came and I ate pretty much all of that and pretty quickly fell asleep. I slept less than 4 hours and I am wide awake... I began to feel broken, depressed and I fought myself to not cry. So I got up and wrote myself a note. “A day on bed rest is a day spent outside of the NICU! You Can Do This!” It is entirely too quiet here as it should be, but I think it's time I get that Ambien I put off earlier since I was falling asleep. As it turns out my post did not save a few days ago, so thankfully I had it saved to a word file.
