Let's party

Its all fun and games until you're really scared, and uncomfortable, and tired and are desperate for relief. Yeah, that's how I've felt the last 24 hours.  Today I finally asked my doctor (who I call Steve because he's Mark's oldest brother...in case you are confused) if a c section is reasonable tomorrow. Because there is less and less worry with baby's health and more and more with mine, yes, it is reasonable.  I'm still taking the oral med nifedipine and it is just keeping the contractions barely tolerable. Sometimes they're still 5 min apart, the longest is 20 and that's rare.

I spent most of the day on the couch. A load of laundry, some dishes here and there. Thankful for those who came to visit and help. I had planned to move Ruby into sisters room tomorrow anyway, so we did that tonight. I love how cute and excited they are to be all together.  Have the crib ready to be set up, got out clothes. Being optimistic that she will be healthy and won't spend any, or not much, time in the NICU.

Siri had her first piano recital. Mark filmed it for me. She's so dang cute and did awesome! Mark took the girls to get dinner and then we had FHE and a long and very entertaining story time before bed. I love my family.

So, birthday party for baby girl thack #4 is scheduled for tomorrow (unless contractions intensify and I go in earlier).  Thanks for the love and prayers. So crazy this is happening already but we are so excited to meet her and to enjoy her on the outside of me!
