Couch Potato

The hospital let us go home on Sunday around 11:30 am.  Brad was packed up and ready to get out of there within 20 seconds.  My doctor came in our room to give us instructions for while we are at home.  She gave me a prescription for the Nifedipine which I am to take every 6 hours.  She explained that I would only be on this for two weeks because after the 34 week point, it doesn't have much benefit.  If I go into labor at 34 weeks, there is a lot that they can do at the hospital.  We're just trying to keep this little pumpkin inside a bit longer. 

My doctor talked to us about doing a natural delivery with this baby.  She explained that this delivery would be a lot easier because the baby will probably only be 3-4 lbs.  I'm not sure if there is such a thing as an "easy" delivery though.  However, I know I'm in good hands with the best hospital in MN.

I've been taking it easy at home and Brad has been such a great help.  He went out shopping yesterday and picked up a crib, dresser, diapers and a bunch of other things that I had written on my list.  Sarah met him in Bloomington yesterday morning and they got a bunch of deals.

I'm starting to get a bit bored just sitting here.  There's only so much Judge Judy you can watch on tv and the internet gets old after a while.  I've got most things nearby so I don't have to go far.  I'm only able to get up to go to the restroom and to the kitchen to make something to eat.

I will be going to the clinic once a week.  This is my only outing that I am allowed to do.
Last night I had some strong contractions.  Emmy woke up sick in the middle of the night, so Brad and I were up with her.  I think being up and walking around with her/giving her a bath, etc brought on more contractions.

Brad has cleared out the spare bedroom in the basement and moved some of his office downstairs.  He's going to be painting the baby room tonight.  I can't wait to see how it turns out.  I'll post pictures once it's all done.
