Good days and restful nights

Thursday night was a rough night for me...I didn't get any sleep.  Friday is still a blur because I was so tired.  The doctors were pretty sure I would have the baby within 48 to 72 hours on Friday.  It was very overwhelming for me and Dan.  I honestly felt like a scared little girl but knew I had to be strong for baby girl.  It looks like baby girl had other plans.  I have not had a contraction since Friday afternoon/evening and was able to sleep 7 1/2 hours on Friday night.  Saturday was also a good day and I got almost 8 hours of sleep on Saturday night.  I was monitored for 24 hours straight on Friday with a heartbeat and contraction monitor on the baby.  Saturday and Sunday I have only been monitored twice for contractions and hearttones, and everything has looked good.

No one knows when I will go into labor so it is still a waiting game.  The first 48 hours were most crucial and I have made it through those with flying colors.  The nurses think I will be here a while.  The longer I am here, the better it is for baby, so I am still praying that I will be here for weeks.  Each additional day I am in bed is another day for baby to grow.  I am thankful to see the sun come up each day, knowing we have made it another day!   Thanks for all the calls, texts, emails, and facebook messages.  We also had Laura Clark and Katie and Jeremy Olson here most of the day which really helped pass the time.  Thanks for all the prayers. 

Also thanking God for a good husband.  Dan has been very caring and comforting these past few days and has been my rock.
