Visitors

Day # 6 of being in the hosptal, and so far I'm still sane (well, I guess I was never SANE, but at least I'm not more INSANE). I've been kept busy with ultrasounds, fetal and uterine monitoring and learning how to install and use my new sidekick - my terbuteline pump (that was interesting...I've never had to "stick" myself in the leg so I could attach a subcutaneous pump before... I'm feeling strong and tough these days). And while all that is oh so much fun (not really), the real highlight of my day is when I get visitors.

Even though we've lived here in Texas for less than a year, we been blessed with such wonderful, caring friends that are willing to do anything to make this time more bearable. I've had so many people call or stop by just to see how I'm doing and to break up the monotony of the day. They sometimes come bearing treats and reading material and always leave with the promise that they are willing to do anything to help out. I can't tell you how much that means to me that people take time out of their day to think of me, especially since we haven't known them all that long. It again just makes me feel so blessed that God put us here in Texas and surrounded us with such wonderful people, especially for a time like this.

Of course, I have to say my absolute favorite visitor is my little Abby. She is SO good during her visits and just walks in to the room and gets into my bed to sit while we quietly watch Baby Einstein, read together, or eat snacks. She seems to understand that I'm not able to play like I normally would, and she is okay with that. She is really getting to know that drill. In fact, Matt says that everytime they pull into the hospital parking lot these days, Abby begins saying, "Mama, Mama!" Smart little girl:-) Her visits definitely make my day.
