Home sweet home

Honey, I'm hooooooooooooooome!

Had my big cervical length ultrasound this morning and things were looking stable so the doctors sprung me! I was once again measuring at 1.6 cm thick, making it a grand total of two weeks in a row.

So they determined I could go home if I promised to be good and stay lying down, yada yada yada. Day 17 of my hospital stay ended with my discharge. Thank you, creator of the universe.

Josh took some stuff home from my room, cleaned up the fiberglass insulation that was covering everything in our bedroom (long story) and came back for me at 4 p.m.

On the way home we stopped off at the mall, I ran a quick 2-miler and then we had sex.

Kidding.

I came straight home and planted myself on the couch, where I remain two hours later.

I spent 17 days in the perinatal surveillance unit and now I get to sleep in my own bed and pee in my own bathroom and no one will come in at 7 a.m. and ask me is I am having any pain, any discharge, any spotting or any gush of fluid. Well, unless Josh would like to carry on that delightful little tradition that is a morning visit by the resident.

The nurses were sad to see me go and sent me off with admonishments to stay in bed and keep the baby in me for another 12 weeks.

So here we are. It's good to be home!
