"Landed In The Hospital"
That is right you read it correctly, I am in the hospital on bed rest for now. It all started wednesday at one of are weekly appointments. They had ran another growth scan on little Addison, and she only grew 2oz in 2 weeks. She also failed one of her major tests, so that was it they sent me to labor and delivery. I think the intention was to get me prepped for delivery. They wanted to run a drug through IV called magnesium sulfate. It is to help with her brain development, and to help prevent cerebral palsy. They usually let that run 24hours before delivery. Well let me just tell you all that drug was hell, it made me sicker than a dog. Meanwhile they were running Addi's heart rate on a monitor, she was looking really good. So instead of immediate delivery they decided to keep me until Monday for consistent monitoring. They are going to re-run the test on her Monday morning. If she fails again then I stay, if she passes I can go home on super strict bed rest. This has just been a roller coaster ride, I can't even begin to describe how I feel. I am sitting in my hospital room right now typing and going nuts. I Miss my baby boy so bad. This is the first time I have had to leave him for so long, I mean it will be 5 days Monday. I have never left him overnight before either, so that has been a challenge for me. I just hope and pray I can go home Monday to continue strict bed rest. I don't know when this will all be over, but I am hoping soon. I am just emotionally drained, and exhausted with the whole situation. Chris and I have been doing this for 7 weeks now constantly. It never leaves my mind, and I am just waiting to hear the go ahead to deliver. Until I have more news I will be in the hospital for now, to be continued..............
