From Bed Rest to Hospital Rest...Good Times.

I am writing this from the oh-so-comfortable cot they call a bed in the maternity ward at St. Francis Hospital. My symptoms got worse so I called the doctor and she told me to go to the hospital. I checked in at 9:00pm, the ran some tests and told me I have to stay until at least Tuesday whether I go into labor or not.

The doctor came and checked me, I'm dilated to a whopping 1 cm. I still have pre eclampsia though and they are going to induce me if I don't start labor in the next week or less. After tomorrow I should know more, like a date they won't let me go past. Either way, Tyler will be born this week! Yay!

I have a migraine like nobody's business and the nurse has an attitude problem. And of course I have THE worst cold I have EVER had so I can't breathe and my throat hurts way bad.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel, my friends! As uncomfortable as this hospital bed is, the doctor assured me I did the right thing coming in and I will have this baby sooner than later.

Poor Erik is sleeping on the cot next to me. I feel bad for the guy, I know he's uncomfortable and unhappy and he has to work tomorrow at 7:00am. But he's very supportive so I'm glad he's here.

At least they have free wireless internet here. It's like I'm still at home except for the cement mattress I'm supposed to somehow fall asleep on.

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
