3rd Saturday at the Hotel

Well, today started off a little differently. I had to make myself stay up after breakfast and the 7 am nurse came in right away to the NST so I could get to the class by 9am. The girls were doing really good in the beginning and she was able to strap me onto the monitor and leave the room for a while, but then I heard one disappear and called the nurse. Once she came back in she had to sit there and hold them on because they started wiggling. We were able to get it done and it was a good strip. Just took longer than I thought it would and I started sweating the time, but I was able to make it to the class on time.

Randall and I learned about car seat safety, home safety, infant CPR and basic infant care. I felt a little stressed out at times talking about all the things that can happen to these girls. I know it won't be easy, but it definitely makes you realize that the worries won't be over any time soon. As most of you know me working University with all that trauma makes me a worry wort anyways. I guess Randall was right, you'll probably see my kids outside and they'll looked like armadillos covered in armor from head to toe to keep them safe!

I had a nice surprise visit from my friend Rose from work, she stayed for a while and I talked her ear off. When your stuck in a room by yourself most of the day, it's easy to do. Then Jody, Felton and Chelsie came, too. They came right after the I got my dinner tray of my most unfavored dish--Beef Stroganoff, yucky, as Faye would say. I still ate the veggies, milk and fruit from my tray, but got Jody and them to bring me another Whataburger and again it was sooo good. Chelsie stayed the night with me tonight and we watched Atonement (love it) and now we are hanging out. It's now midnight and I am waiting for the 11-7 nurse to come do my last doppler for the night. So I thought I would toss in a little update.
