Was today a better day then it was yesterday? Definitely. I was able to sleep without having someone come in and wake me up at 12, 4, 8, and every other hour under the sun when a doctor wanted to come see me! But...I still woke up on my own at 4, ready to go to work if I had to! Instead, I just called the NICU and checked up on Noah to see how he was doing. Of course, everything was fine. When I woke up around 9:30, I had to take my medication. Oh, i didn't tell you guys that the doctors gave me like 16 million medications to go home with?! Ok maybe not 16 million but I am on 6 blood pressure medications, oxycodone (as necessary), an iron pill, and a watere pill. From the person who doesn't like to swallow pills?! This is a lot. At least 2 of them are patches, but everything else needs to be swalled....sigh. Here is a pic of my cocktail!
Carl went to work today, so i had to keep myself busy. What did I do? Re-arrange the blocks I had gotten for our maternity pic session (which was scheduled for August 21st) about 20 times to take a good pic. How did I do?
The doctor said that I can't drive for 1-2 weeks, which means I wil have to be dependent on someone to take me to the hospital to see Noah. Thank goodness for my awesome parents! They have been so supportive (as always!) this whole time. My dad came to pick me up around 1:30 (even though I wanted to be there by 2 for feeding and diaper changing...) and we spent a good amount of time at the hospital. Carl later came to the hospital to see Noah and to pick me up. He is an awesome dad! Even though he thinks that Noah is little, he has now begun to touch him without feeling like he is going to break him. I have the best two men in my life :-)
