The twin boys thought they'd try and come a little early this year. I'm sure they were just excited for Christmas, but it landed me in the hospital over the holidays, as we are still trying to keep them in. So in an effort to keep things interesting, I have come up with a few random thoughts about my stay.
1. My new doctor is a high-risk pregnancy doctor, who also happens to be a doctor of veterinary services.
2. The string cheese here is processed and shipped from New Hampshire. There are several dairies within miles of here that also manufacture string cheese.
3. The hospital head honcho (HHH) introduced himself in a jester-style Santa hat of sorts today. My housekeeper has worked here for a billion years and never met an HHH... until today. I hope he's thought about first impressions. PS, it was a very appropriate first impression, don't get me wrong.
4. The nutritionist had very little recommendations for me, but one she was adament about was that I drink 5 chugs of chocolate milk a day. If I only order 1 chocolate milk at a meal, room service says, "just one?!"
5. I have a Christmas tree in my room, hijacked from the nurses station. (edit: Adelyn brought me another Christmas tree on Christmas day and decorated it too. The nurses have voted my room to be the best ever.)
6. I was considering the name James, but one experience with a James from the blood lab changed my mind.
7. The nurses have declared Baby A as Naughty and Baby B as Nice because of how well they cooperate during monitoring phases. Thank you Santa, but neither of them need anything for Christmas this year.
8. I finished "Mockingjay" here in the hospital and when I try and think clearly about all that has gone on here for the last 5+ days I ask myself, "Real, or Not Real?"
9. The UPS man comes to the hospital at the same time every day as the UPS man comes to our house in Parowan.
10. I was in St George during all the massive and headline floodings, and didn't even see any rain.
We have a goal of getting me to at least 35 weeks here in the hospital, just like we did at home... January 3rd. Wish us luck!
