T-48 hours!

In about 48 hours they will start surgery. I am getting more and more excited! Dr. L came in today to check on me. It's funny how much i like and trust him now. Just goes to show how we all need to get to know someone before we start ragging on them! I sure learned a valuable lesson. I asked him how the other woman is doing that had surgery yesterday. He said everything went really well. He said it as if to say, shoot that was a breeze of a surgery. He said she had very minimal blood loss. Like a normal c-section. And she was down stairs hanging out with her baby. Knowing that helped me so much! Sometimes, the dr's paint a pretty grim picture. They always follow it up with confidence statements, which is also comforting. It is nice, however, to know that some don't even need transfusions and everything was quick and easy.

Yesterday ended up being far less traumatic than the first time. They just put in an iv port, and put me on the monitor to make sure everything was stable with the baby. No catheter or oxygen etc. I was still able to get up like normal. It was so much less stressful! Trever came down to visit. We were both so tired, we slept most of the time. He pulled out the roll away bed, put it next to my hospital bed, held hands, and we just slept. It was so nice to be able to sleep near him again. He apologized saying how lame it was to come visit and take a nap. I told him for me, that was what I needed. I needed to just be near him. No talking, planning, etc. just relaxing. It was a little piece of heaven to be honest.

I have been wanting to nest even more lately, especially yesterday. My mom and friend went and got a few preemie clothes for Caleb. I ordered a box of diapers on amazon. Did you know they have discounts on diapers? Now I feel like I can welcome this little guy into the world properly. :) I know, it sounds lame... But when you need to nest, and you are stuck in the hospital, you do what you can do to ease the stress.

I was pretty wiped out after yesterday's events, so I just browsed around and answered facebook messages until I could turn my brain off and sleep. About 3:00 my nurse came in to check my vitals. They usually don't worry about it, but with the bleeding, comes a middle of the night vital visit from the nurse. While I was trying to wind back down and turn off the millions of thoughts going through my head, Trever texted me. He told me that he loved me. I called him and told him I was up too. Come to find out, he hadn't gone to sleep yet because he couldn't shut his brain off either. We chatted for a bit and processed what was on our minds. I had the thought to sing to him, to ease his mind. He is really worried about me and surgery. I asked him what he wanted me to sing. He said " My Valentine". That is the song I was going to sing at or reception or our wedding dinner. I chickened out. I love to sing but I am not much of a performer. That actually calmed us both down and helped us be able to sleep again.

I wanted to let you all know how incredibly thankful we are for all of the love and comments. As news of the fundraiser went all over face book yesterday, I was overwhelmed with the comments of love and those praying for us. Many offered to join in with my ward, to fast on Friday. People from all over the US were commenting, ordering to donate etc. I can't tell you what a blessing that has been to us. Thank you everyone!

I changed the info on the right hand side of the screen, with the new address of the yard sale/bake sale on sat. Thanks again everyone!
