Yesterday baby looked good. So the doctor this morning asked if I wanted to go off continuous monitoring since Pierson had looked good for 24 hours. I said one more day. Then late morning he had a couple deep decelerations. He knows. He wants to show those doctors that he needs the constant monitoring.
I was trying to stay upbeat. But knowing that I won't see Chris today really affects me. He had stuff to do after work and then young mens. And it seems when I am sad, baby has a harder day. So I prayed for someone to come visit. My mom brought Bailey which is always a highlight if I get to see my baby. Tiffani Clinger was an answer to my prayer and offered to bring lunch. Thank you Tiffani. But she wasn't the only one inspired to come, Mark and Melissa Lyons came to visit. They brought me a fruit edible bouquet. I ate the whole thing this afternoon! The chocolate covered strawberries were incredible. Thank you so much! I really wouldn't be able to do this without the answers to prayers I have had, not only the last month, but during this whole pregnancy.
Yesterday my in-laws brought Bailey for a little while, then my mom brought lunch (cafe rio!). As she was leaving Bonnie brought me some of my requested coconut cupcakes. Amazing!!! We had a nice time talking and those visits lasted from noon to 4 pm. It was a great way to pass time! Chis brought Lexi and Julie that evening. I am really missing my family and really appreciate the meals and service that has been given them! As you can tell, visitors and food are the highlights of my days. 4 weeks, one month in the hospital tomorrow.
I can't believe it's already been a month! So long for you, but so great for Pierson. That is success for sure. I'm so sorry you have to endure the long wait. It's such a difficult test of patience, but you have such a great attitude and terrific support system. You can do it! Just a few weeks more...
