the "BELLY DANCE" and 34 weeks

A hard start to a happy day; today is the 50^th day of hospital life and the day I THOUGHT I was going to go home.  They took me off pericardia (the muscle relaxer I was taking every four hours to not contract) two days ago in hopes it will help my platelet count go up and it did!  Hoping it will be even higher or even back to normal by early next week.  Things seemed to be moving up, but then they found that I am leaking protein, which could be a sign of preeclampsia.  Amazing I took the news really well yesterday and didn’t mind the idea of one more thing to watch for. 

But then I didn’t sleep well last night; I can’t lay flat because of heart burn but if I don’t recline enough I can’t breathe!  I woke up uncomfortable in many ways and just wanting things to be over and more homesick than ever!  All the issues I am having they say will leave with pregnancy; my kids are now 34 weeks so why not.  Of course after thinking it I started feeling guilty.  Why quit now when I’ve made it so far.  A few more weeks and we might be able to skip the NICU all together!  Of course that is my goal (and the doctors) but some days are easier than others. 

Usually when I’ve had a bad day I forget about it when I open the door to my house and have two fur babies shaking with excitement.  A few wags of the tail is enough to make all my worries go out the window; seems like these babies in my belly already have the same effect on me.  Feeling a little down I decided to listen to some music and maybe take a nap.  Camden and Kimber had other ideas in mind.  I caught part of their “belly dance” on video, defiantly enough to make all my worries go out the window!  They already make my day and make me laugh!

Excited tomorrow is Saturday and the “rowdy” crowd will be here to watch some college football!  Happy 34 you crazy little Wild Things!
