Update

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give you a little update on my status (if you haven't already heard). I am home from the hospital now. They released me Thursday night and I am now on bed rest until this baby comes. The Dr. did an ultrasound and checked to see if I was dialated any more and everything was the exact same as it was when I was admitted. The Dr. said I am far enough along now that our hospital here should be able to take care of me. They are still concerned about the umbilical cord/excess fluid should my water break at home (I will spare you the graphic details they discussed with me about that), but since the baby's head is down, the chances are fairly low...but I am still considered high risk. So everything is good and as long as I stay down, I'm ok. I really hope my water doesn't break at home, so I don't have to worry about getting to the hospital super fast, but at the same time I am SO done. Part of me wants to just have this baby now and get it all over with, but at the same time, I don't want to have a premature baby that could possibly have problems. So I will sit here at home and hopefully have a few more weeks before she arrives.

Oh, Hillary! I'm so sorry you had to stay so long in the hospital and now you're on bed rest. We're praying for you and the baby. If you lived closer we would come over and keep you company.

Sorry you have to be on bed rest. I bed you are going a little crazy. If you are still at home when I get there I will come see you if that is OK. We will keep you and the baby in our prayers.

"H... good to hear you're home from the hospital... STAY IN BED!"
love, Trace

I agree with Bethany. If you lived closer, we could totally come keep you company. You could do some fun projects while you are in bed though, like making cute headbands for your baby, or cute blankets, onesies, or hair clips. We are all praying for you and that little baby. We love you!
