Today I'm Grateful for:-
Today I'm grateful for hospital staff, once again.
It seems like I have been thanking hospital staff a lot these days. And today, once again we have cause to be grateful that the staff are kind and hardworking, doing what can sometimes be a very thankless task.
My eldest daughter Lizzie is 27 weeks pregnant, and yesterday she started having what seemed to be contractions. Of course, being Lizzie, she put off talking to anyone about it until 11am this morning!! Sometimes I worry about that girl! Anyway, the midwives were all very good with her, telling her that no, she wasn't being silly and yes, she should come in immediately. It's just as well we did, the contractions continued to get stronger and other things happened to cause the doctor (when he turned up, which was as soon as he was physically able) to be 'quite concerned'... hmmm, not a good sign. So after about 6 hours waiting for the doctor, she was given some tablets to try and stop the contractions. The good news is, bub is still doing really well, heart beat is strong and he has started moving around again (he was too quiet yesterday), so all is good there. We just have to wait now and see if the contractions go away.
So Universe, when we said the other day that we couldn't wait to meet Bubba... we didn't actually mean that we want him to be premmie... please, keep him safe for a while longer. And Lizzie too. Oh, and Universe, I guess you really didn't get my memo about no more challenges for awhile? Please?
Anyway, I am very grateful for all the lovely midwives and doctors who have been so helpful and caring for Lizzie (and me) today. Thanks for the cuppas and the sandwiches. You guys are awesome.
Kisses
Julie
