Day 12 - 25 weeks 3 days

When it rains it pours. I haven't had hardly any visitors and today I had 6. Not that I am complaining! Thank you to all of you who came and bearing treats. :) I will try not to eat all the treats today. Hopefully they will last a day or two.

Kathy I have to say you must have been able to read my mind. When I first got to the hospital all I could smell was the cleaner they use to clean my room. They clean my room everyday so it never goes away. After 12 days I don't smell it any more but I am sure those of you visiting can. I had told my darling husband to bring me a scented candle, while I can't burn it those scented candles usually put out enough fragrance without being lit. You know how men are though, I was lucky to get underwear much less a candle. So thank you Kathy for the scented candle, now all I can smell is it's wonderful fragrance. You also brought me a bookmark which I asked Doug for and never got so you must be a mind reader.

Jane the salad was great!! If I ever get out of here I am going to have to check out Whole Foods. I haven't had the brownies yet, I am saving them for my sugar craving later today.
Jen thank you for coming with the girls, it is so nice to see some little ones. Thank you and Kathy for the coffee, I can never have too much coffee or bear claws. :)

I watched "August Rush" last night at my mother recommendation. It was a great movie, but it did make me cry. I was doing my monitoring of the baby and it was hard to cry and keep the baby's heartbeat on the monitor. It's hard to cry and not move your abdomen.

We are still making good progress, no contractions or fever. Baby's heart beat is good and he is still moving a lot. The doctor is hoping he will get into a head down position, last time she checked he was breach. If he gets head down she said there is less worry that a foot or the umbilical cord will fall out. (sorry if that is a little graphic but it's my life) If he is head down he may block the fluid leakage which would be excellent. Also if he is head down when the time comes to deliver then she won't have to do a c-section (yeah), unless he shows signs of distress. So put that in your prayers. My doctor should do another ultrasound sometime this week. Hopefully he will still have sometime to get into the head down position before we have to worry about delivery, but I guess now is as good a time as any.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I just found out my little brother is not going to my parents for Christmas so he is going to visit Christmas Day and bring me a home cooked meal. Of course I don't know what he knows about cooking Christmas dinner but the company will be nice anyway.

Then the day after Christmas I should get to see Doug and get my Christmas gifts.
