Oh WHAT A DAY! Click on the continue reading link below to hear all the drama.

I knew this was going to happen. I literally KNEW IT! All week I kept saying that they would readmit me once they tested me again. I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and I ended up staying a really long time because I had to take the glucose test (yum). I drank that nasty orange drink and sat up for an hour. When my father was driving me home I kept on thinking about how I really pushed it that day. I must have been on my feet for three hours or so with travel time and everything.
Then today came and they measured my cervix. Are you ready for the freaking number? .84 cm!! The doctor looked at me and said, "We're getting you in a bed right now. And don't talk to me before 32 weeks." I am 27 weeks which means that I am here for at least another 5 big ones.
Now here comes the scary part - everyone is talking to me like I can go any minute. They gave me one shot of steroids to boost the baby's lungs up should I deliver.  I am due another one tomorrow afternoon. And might I say that needle was LLLOOOONNNNGGG. They gave me the option of the shoulder or the butt. I went with the shoulder. Maybe tomorrow I will mix it up. hahahah Just kidding.
My personal doctor happened to be here at the hospital delivering. When she finished she came to my room and visited with me. I broke down in tears and we talked it through. At the end of the conversation she said, "I hope you don't deliver in the next three days because I am going to be upstate." And I am thinking - THAT'S A POSSIBILITY? Apparently, I can go at any moment. AND the most terrible thing of all - it's an absolute C-section. They said they can't waste time waiting for me to dilate if they decide it's time to get the baby out.
So what am I thinking? How the HELL am I going to make it to the NICU everyday while I am still recovering from a C section? I could barely make it to the kitchen after my last one. Forget about getting into a freaking car and driving myself over to the hospital. But I am going to have to do it. I am not going to leave my little man alone all day. And who is going to watch Natalie while I do this? She can't come with me. I can't believe this is HAPPENING TO ME!
It's all very new still. I am angry and sad and hurt and disappointed.  I am thankful that I am 27 weeks though. That is the true blessing in this story. Because no matter what - Liam is going to make it. So all this crap that we will go through will be worth it in the end and I know that. But it's just very shocking still. Tomorrow when I get my head wrapped around my new scenario, I might feel better. But for now, I am truly overwhelmed with emotions. I want this day to end so I am going to sleep. Maybe I can nap the 5 weeks away. Hey, it's worth a shot. :)
