I think of your often, and use you as a guide of sorts- I am 8 weeks behind you, and its nice to know what lies ahead :) I just had to post after reading this though... I know that you and your little man will be fine, it's obviously not the ideal situation, but "it is what it is" and things will work out. What absolutely kills me is that they not only made you move your own bags when you should be on STRICT bedrest- but they moved you in with a roomate!? One who has constant visitors at that?! OMG!!!!! I would bitch and complain, yell, cry, kick and SCREAM until they put me back in a private room. Seriously- if you're trying to avoid stress, how could sharing a room with someone be the best thing for you???? UGHHH I am so upset on your behalf I am literally shaking. <br />You are most certainly a stronger woman that I, in fact, you deserve saint hood for not completely losing it. You are going to give your son the gift of patience, among other things- thats for sure!<br />Hang in there Momma, and DEMAND better care and more prompt service from your nurses, remember- the squeaky wheel gets the grease!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-39394851806968947952011-11-16T22:54:09.682-05:002011-11-16T22:54:09.682-05:00Been thinking of you heaps... you and your son are...Been thinking of you heaps... you and your son are true fighters and, though it may not feel like it, sounds like your doing an amazing job hanging in there !! I would have lost it days ago ! Unbelievable that you've had to move rooms and pack your own stuff.... the hospital system is crazy sometimes :( Thinking of you and your little man :)) xoxoDandelionBreezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988561541523178095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-28678131862513674172011-11-15T19:54:36.311-05:002011-11-15T19:54:36.311-05:00It's so ridiculous that you're not allowed...It's so ridiculous that you're not allowed to have a shower but they made you pack your own bags to move to another room! I agree that setting some ground rules with your room-mate would be a good idea and also calling your doula too - does she know what's happening?<br />But overall, you're doing such a great job - baby boy has had some extra growing time and you're right.. when you're holding him in the weeks to come, all of this experience will have melted away.<br />Thinking of you xxxChina Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462824778269002060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-17212568922822064382011-11-15T14:49:17.170-05:002011-11-15T14:49:17.170-05:00Oh shitzer!

Hospital stays are rough enough without the extra unnecessary stressors. Just hold on Princess, the longer you can keep little Prince in the better! Deep breaths! I'll be praying for zen thoughts and strength for you!kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621807092343577126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-18152481433228953742011-11-15T12:47:08.667-05:002011-11-15T12:47:08.667-05:00So glad you are hanging in there, Princess, only a...So glad you are hanging in there, Princess, only a couple more days until you make it to 31 weeks (right?). I agree with the other posters that you need someone to advocate for you, maybe setting some ground rules with the roommate as to how many visitors can be in your room at one time and how long they can stay. You said in one of your last posts that you need to avoid stress, well this sounds like a pretty stressful situation! Hang in there, this will be over soon enough.Jade from Seattlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-83272960772380446422011-11-15T11:59:41.938-05:002011-11-15T11:59:41.938-05:00It sounds like you are going through absolute and ...It sounds like you are going through absolute and total hell. I don't blame you for being pissed about having a roommate. Tres unpleasant!! Plus cold food and contractions? OMG. If I were you, I think I'd be in hysterics too. I can't believe you're not allowed to stand up and shower but it's OK for you to move your bags! That's nuts.<br /><br />I agree with the commenter who suggested calling your doula. I think it would be very helpful for you to have someone with you to advocate for you in addition to your husband. You are too sick right now to effectively advocate for yourself, and you shouldn't have to. The doula is probably used to hospitals and might be quite effective at helping with things.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595942407515108938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-21347018768087216402011-11-15T11:22:50.266-05:002011-11-15T11:22:50.266-05:00I'm so sorry that you have all this added crap...I'm so sorry that you have all this added crap on top of trying to keep the little one in there! I would have freaked out on the nurse too! I'm so glad your little guy is holding strong though, I'll keep up my prayer vigil I've had going since your first post about going into this hospital.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806744763433165902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-50525112747367744732011-11-15T11:17:00.582-05:002011-11-15T11:17:00.582-05:00Oh hun, that sounds all really terrible and you ha...Oh hun, that sounds all really terrible and you have every right to complain. How frustrating that you can't even be on your own through all this. I'm glad to hear baby is hanging in there and that he's had a few more days to grow though.

Even if it is just so she help get the nurses in faster when you need them for your insulin. You should not be having to wait, they know when meals are being served, they should know to start visiting their patients well in advance of the food coming. <br /><br />So glad to see that baby boy has stayed put one more day, but hopefully this ordeal will be over soonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264397379561559145.post-28515310373262526492011-11-15T08:29:08.625-05:002011-11-15T08:29:08.625-05:00I am sorry for all the stress.

I can't believe they threw you in a room with someone else and their constant guests! And this is after they stopped with the prompt responses...<br /><br />While I can't imagine what you (and the Prince) are going through, I feel for you and hurt for you all. I'm hoping and praying for the best of outcomes for ya'll! It may not seem like it right now, but you are being incredibly strong!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03357280337675044927noreply@blogger.com
