Today has acutally been a really great day! I woke up, pulled open the blinds and saw the sunshine. I had a great breakfast and took my first hospital shower and I even did my makeup. I straightened my hair and some wonderful friends stopped by for a visit. My friend from church Kylie stopped by for a surprise visit and she brought me some pretty pink flowers. Next my best friend Leah came over. (She's my favorite visitor and she visits me ever day) Leah brought me the BEST enchiladas! I have been dying to eat something other than hospital food. And Leah also brought me magazines and a movie. Leah even made some enchiladas for Mike and the girls. She is soooo great! Our friendship is above and beyond anything I could have ever hoped for from a bestfriend. Leah makes me want to be a better person, a better mother, a better wife and a better woman. Love her!
The day passed on after Leah and Dane left and even though Mike has a big test tomorrow, he made time to stop by with the girls so that I could see them for a few minutes. I know that with each day that I wake up I can count on Leah and Michael to come visit, even for a short while, and that is so comforting!
Here are a few pictures of my tiny but cozy hospital room. Eveyday I can count on breakfast, lunch and dinner and 3 snacks which always consist of Strawberries and whipped cream (my favorite)! Thus far I have had really great nurses and there is 1 OB Tech who comes in every nights and visits. He's an older man named John and he has the greatest english twang when he talks. He stops by every evening and we chat for about 20 mins. My night nurses usually have a little more free time than the day time nurses do so they also stop in for a chat. It's really nice to have people come in and spend time with me. I am really determined to not become anti-social thru this experiance. It would be so easy just sit here all day and refuse to see people, but it's not healthy and the days would go by soooo slowly. More than anything else, I want my husband and my children to see that although this is not my first choice and by no means easy, that I am going to keep my chin up and a smile on my face! Either way, I want our baby boys to live and for that to happen, I have to be willing to make the sacrifice of being here and obeying the doctors orders and not only that, but showing that I have faith in The Lord to give me the strength to endure such a long time on bedrest. I believe with all of my heart that Heavenly Father would have never blessed us with twins if he didn't know that I could handle it. He believes in me so I will believe in me too. My body may not be holding up like I want it to but my spirit is unbreakable! I am thankful for each and every day!
