Caleb is still in the NICU, he’s doing ok, but still having fast breathing. I got discharged this afternoon, going back in a bit to bring my pumped milk and see him again before I go to bed. Oh man, I'm sorry. That's so hard. Did you get to hold him yet? I got to hold him yesterday, which felt really good, but going home without him for the first time was still really rough. We went back last night and got to spend some more time snuggling with him and felt good enough after to go home and get some decent sleep. The fluid in his lungs is clear according to yesterday’s x-ray, which is great news, we’re just waiting for his breathing to slow down and hoping he’ll get to come home today. I can’t imagine what moms of really sick babies in the NICU go through, just a couple of days has been incredibly hard.

We added a few other options so I guess we are taking 3 names now. Never mind that I already hand-sewed the child’s Xmas stocking with the name we’d picked lol.

Stupid body. Is so hard to tell if I have increased cm or a really slow leak of fluids. I’m probably just being paranoid.
Body, if you could just go into labor that would be great.

I wound up taking a half sick day this afternoon since I could not sleep last night and was just feeling puffy and cranky and done. Two hours later, I feel almost human again! Except my hip is killing me from laying on the couch. But feeling as human as possible for being this pregnant, I think. Afternoon naps should be mandatory for everyone in third tri.

I have prenatal yoga today and am considering going to just lay on my mat in piece for an hour.

I just started prepping the dresser for the nursery today. Sanding and two coats of primer down. Only two coats of paint left to do tomorrow and Friday. Then my H gets the pleasure of putting the million pieces together. I don’t know why I wait to do these things until the last minute. Between that, general picking up for our cleaning lady tomorrow, and trying to fix my dryer latch I am DONE and my body hates me.
On the bright side, my rug, side table, and various nursery essentials are arriving and I can finally start putting it all together this weekend.

Thanks guys! I was at a 4 when the dr checked me this AM. Water’s been broken, pit is starting, & I’ve already requested my epi because I’m not trying to be a hero this time. 😂 here we go!

I am so stuffy and sick. The chicken noodle soup seems to have helped me move on to the next phase of this cold quickly. Now not only can I not sleep because I have to pee 4x a night I am also unable to sleep because I can’t breathe. Making more bone broth for potato soup tonight, maybe that will help move me to phase #3 where I actually feel more human.

On my way back to the NICU, Caleb was back on the CPAP (it’s basically extra air pressure in his lungs to help dry them out). yesterday because he still isn’t improving quite as fast as they wanted. He did really well and tolerated it yesterday with a lot of snuggles, hoping he did well overnight and can come off at some point today. Then he has to pass a feeding test since he’s been getting tube feeds. So today could be the day, or not. I feel like we finally got solid information from the doctor last night, it’s been frustrating to feel like we’re getting conflicting info about what his progress is.
