music to my ears

The magical words have finally been uttered - discharged from hospital!!! Thank goodness. I don't think I could take any more of the food here or the drilling/hammering noises (they are building a lounge on the floor below me and started construction this a.m. at 7:30).

Just got the word after having an ultrasound this morning to check on the pigglet. All looks well. S/he weights approximately 3 lbs 3 oz currently. (Just over 50th percentile for current stage.) Today, we hit week 29. Every day and week will count now.

Will be on strict bed rest once I get home. And as my friends have so indicated, this does not mean I can re-arrange furniture or cook up a feast. Alas, I'll have to find new ways to entertain myself. This could prove interesting....

Some photos from the hospital. The print out is from the fetal monitor - for heartrate and contractions. We went through a lot of paper, I tell you!

Wonderful news. You had us on pins and needles waiting for the good news! Go home, rest, dream of food!

You look absolutely great! How? You state that you haven't slept, eaten well, or been able to move about much... YET... you look great! If I were in the hospital, I'm pretty sure that the last thing that I'd ask my husband to bring is the camera. Here's to your trip home!!!

Cat, it's great to see you looking so good. We've been thinking about you constantly this week. I'm glad to hear that you've arrived at week 29. Now, go home, rest, eat lots and enjoy the quiet (because in a few months that will be a distant memory!!)
