Well, as most of you know by now, I am parked in the hospital for quite some time. Here’s what happened. Monday, I was just finishing up 3 hours of work. All of a sudden I felt a gush. I thought it was my water breaking. It wasn’t. So, thankfully Hubby was there with me. So, off we rushed to the hospital. I have been here since. There is no determination what caused the hemorrhaging. But since they can’t determine what did cause the hemorrhaging, I get an extended stay here.
Being here is no fun. I have to stay IN BED and am only allowed up for potty breaks, or special occasions. Today there is a chat with other pregnant patients that I get to attend. Something different! The nurse had to twist the doctor’s arm to let me go!
I was having pretty bad contractions on Monday as well. So, they have me on medication to keep them under control. My biggest complaint? The food. It’s not great by any means. And it’s pretty boring. I have been pretty luck to have Hubby here with me most of the time. He is good company. He takes a break mid-afternoon and leaves for a while. He runs home to take care of the house, the mail, the dogs, and that kind of thing. Then he comes back for the evening. My mom is staying at my house when she isn’t working, and she takes care of the puppies. And she is working to finish things up to get ready for the baby. She has been washing all the clothes and sterilizing all the stuff that needs sterilized. So, I have a pretty good support team, for which I am very thankful.
The plan of action is to keep me on bed rest and the contraction medication for at least another week and then we will see from there. But we are expecting to enlarge our family by 2 feet sooner rather than later.
And fear not, Baby Girl K is really healthy and happy in where she is. They have run every test under the sun, including a bio-physical test on her, and she is 10 out of 10!
Well, time for me to dial-up and post this blog! Thank you all for your love and support!!!

Did you see that part about Dial-UP??? No Internet access from the hospital except dial-up! ;(
Hello Baby K and parents!
Karen, I know you are bored stiff, but I was relieved to hear everyone was healthy and it is just a minor setback compared to years of happiness raising your little girl.
Too bad you are on dialup, we could get you playing scrabble and other games with us during the day and in the evenings.
Let us know if there is anything we can do! We are thinking about all three of you!
Love,
Sue, John and Trey
I am just happy to hear that everyone is doing good and being well cared for!
You are all in my thoughts and prayers! I love you all!
Can't someone bring you takeout so you don't have to eat hospital food?
Love and hugs and kisses to all.
