So, last we were told, we would definitely be in the hospital until Wednesday and most likely until we had Jackson. I was so bummed...see previous posts.. Around 5 yesterday a Dr., who is a specialist, came in and performed a sonogram on me. She looked at every single part of Jackson to make sure he was doing ok. Apparently he was doing great because about 30 minutes later, the nurse came in and said I could go home! We were so surprised. I was thrilled, and then a little sad. I had finally come to terms with being in the hospital and was getting used to being "pampered". At the same time, I knew that being at home would be best. I could take showers in my own shower, sleep on my own sheets, and have my puppies. Plus, I wouldnt have to worry about John staying up there every night and being exhausted at work each day.
So, now I am at home and my lovely husband is watching me like a freaking hawk. Every time I start to get up (to go to the bathroom) he looks at me and asks me where Im going. Its sweet that he cares so much, but Im pretty sure he just doesnt trust me to obey bed or bathroom only. I dont blame him either. I do not want to obey this stupid rule. I mean, if I can walk to the bathroom, why cant I walk to the fridge? Why cant I walk to the back door to let the dogs out?
God is teaching me a lot during this time. He has taught me that I am a spoiled brat. He has taught me that I complain way to easily. He has taught me that I am very controlling, and He has taught me that I have nothing to complain about in life. Im pretty sure Im going to be learning more lessons in the upcoming weeks. Hoping its not more than a week and a half. I would love for Jackson to make his debut!

So glad you got to go home!!!!!!!
I can definitely relate to the getting used to the hospital thing, and then missing the pampering. On my first night in the hospital I remember thinking, "man I can't wait to go home, this is going to be a long hospital stay". And then by the last day, it was more like, "Hmmm, do I really have to go home?" It was so nice having everything brought to you and having all the help you could need. Coming home was of course awesome, but every now and again....I miss the hospital/help. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
So glad you're home! He'll be here before you know it!
P.S.--Didn't know you had a blog! So excited!
