Today marks 31 weeks Inside for the little guy. Every day helps!
The weekend was uneventful. Dennis and I are getting into our routine; he comes for a few hours in the morning and then again in the evening. The highlight is when he gets into my silly little narrow hospital bed with me for snuggling. I'm sure it looks hilarious, but I usually relax so much I fall asleep. That's gotta be good for my blood pressure, right?
In the afternoon I have an hour of baby monitoring and then a shower. The shower is the other highlight of the day.
I'm knitting a lot; I started a baby blanket a few weeks ago and will probably finish it this week. It's cream wool/silk with cables and a lattice pattern, so it's just complex enough to be interesting. I'm figuring out what my next project will be; one-color work seems to be easier to deal with in this setting, so I might try a lace project.
Mostly I'm just grateful for the hospital wi-fi system, since having net access is keeping me sane. I don't have Comedy Central in my room, so I subscribed to the Daily Show and Colbert on itunes, which is awesome. The nanny filter on the net has some weird ideas about what is and is not appropriate viewing, so there are a few blogs I can't read (Sarah the Hussy is apparently delivering salacious content between recipes) and I can't see Flickr, which is annoying because that means I'm missing out on the latest documented Nathan cuteness.
The tv situation here is entertaining in that there are a couple of closed-circuit baby info channels, one of which features an expressionless nurse who does. not. blink. as she dispenses advice in a monotone. She seems to be on 24 hours a day. We call it the Hypno-Channel.
So that's a quick overview of my life. I'll leave out the moments of pure panic and super freakout, since they're not very useful and I haven't been able to work out a schedule for them.
