penthouse view

so i got moved!!! thank goodness. i am in the antiparteum unit, just down the hall from labor and delivery. the room has this sweet view of SLC, so i have been watching airplanes take off (and yes ali, wishing on them like shooting stars).

basically i am on bed rest, with bathroom privileges. thank the lord, no more cath. i have been off the magnesium for about 16 hours and feel like 100% better. my BP is doing ok, at this point we are still hoping that it can be kept down by medicine and i can stay in here for at least 6 more weeks. we have a countdown going which is at 39 days right now. this is how long i need to stay in this room until delivery - which will give Anthon 32 weeks.

i feel like super important because i have my own nutritionist person. she gets my orders for every meal and gets to know what i like and don't like - (and yes x, she will smuggle in some ddp for me on occasion). so i am feeling very well taken care of at this point.

the nurse comes to check my vitals and baby every 4 hours and if things look good, i get to keep hanging out. its a pretty sweet set up, we even have his and hers tvs (pics to come).

well that is it for now. thanks again for thoughts, prayers, emails, everything. we have an amazing support system. i may post again today with some pics of the view and our dueling tvs.

Thanks for the update. This is the 3rd time that I've checked your blog today looking for an update, so thanks for doing it at noon rather than 9 pm.

Thank goodness you get some DDP... I don't want to think of a life without it.

What treats are you allowed to eat according to the nutritionist? Just want to be sure I bring the right things to visits.

Text me your new anti room details so when Jorden and I can find your room to harass you.

Do you have a DVD player in your new room or do you have to watch old time Disney movies on VHS?

Thinking of you and praying for you and baby A.

Any other comforts you would like to have in your room? Lemme know.

And finally, sorry for the ridiculously long comment.
