Feeling Good!

Well we finally left the hospital at 6:30 pm on Friday night after waiting all day to be discharged! It felt so great to be home, to finally get some real rest and to see Brody. A big thanks to Claudette for getting my room all ready for the long weeks of bedrest to come...and a huge thanks to all the visitors who stopped by the hospital to see us and for sending the most beautiful plants and flowers!

Okay, so the update...after surgery I definitely had some discomfort, small contractions (which is normal after that type of procedure) and the worst headache ever from the spinal block. But two days later, all the symptoms seemed to subside and I was feeling pretty good! I had two doctors appointments today and I was a little nervous since the last three in a row had been pretty scary and unnerving. Today's, however, went really well. I had the first one with the perinatal (Dr. Allbert). I won't go into too much detail but he did say that everything looked good and that the surgery was the right decision to make. Next, with Dr. Jones, we got confirmation that everything looked good and talked about what I could do in the next few weeks. He said to continue the moderate bedrest but if everything continues to look good as they monitor me each week then he may lift some of my restrictions and allow me to increase my activity a little!!! :) He even said that it's safe for me to register at the store, as opposed to online, which put the biggest smile on my face! I'll continue to be monitored each week, take progesterone daily and keep up the bedrest so hopefully all this will help delay any preterm labor plus I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Allbert and Dr. Jones!

Thanks again for all the support, everyone has been so wonderful throughout this process and we're so lucky to have friends and family who care for us this much!

We'll continue to keep you posted....
