So I took a glorified sleeping pill last night. Not much good it did but make me feel very intoxicated. WOW! It really hit me hard though. Unfortunately, I only slept til 400am. But the nurse came in at 600am to take my blood. Yes that was early but I was awake. After that I actually slept for about a hour and half later. By the time 8am came and my vitals were taken I was up and ready.

The doctors have decided to go back to the original schedule of an ultrasound on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So no ultrasound today. But all the heart monitoring looks good. Even my blood pressure the last few times taken has been good.

My blood work from this morning was normal. They did a full work up just make sure and nothing was abnormal. I am still waiting on the results from my 24 hour urine collection. I feel somewhat accomplished after that 24 hour chore. At least I felt like I was doing something productive. Even though I am sure it is a wasted test because I firmly believe my blood pressure is up from just being here.

I did better today and only thought of an escape plan once. But I did request a walking trip to somewhere other than this floor. I feel like I get stared at when I leave my room like I am in trouble. Nurse said that I wasn't supposed to leave the floor but when I get to the end of the hall...they can't see me and won't know where I go. I am just craving a good walk and the floor isn't that big. And the circle it makes gets really old. So I will adventure to a different floor and hopefully not get caught. Knowing my luck, I will run into one of my doctors. I just really need to stretch my legs.

As for the weight loss, some of you will be happy to know that I ate a 4pk of Twix this afternoon for my lunch dessert. So I am making an effort to snack a bit more and hopefully fatten up these girls.

All in all, today was a better day. I didn't feel as stressed out. I just need to find the patience. Unfortunately, patience is rather hard for me to come across and extremely hard to keep around. I prayed for some patience today and I think God knew he needed to work quickly. He gave me some to get me going and keep me calm today.

I just can't help thinking that I should have outwardly enjoyed my pregnancy more before having been confined to a hospital. Guess cute pregnancy pictures are out of the question. I was looking forward to some spring pictures outside.

Until tomorrow.
