Day 5

Yes, you read right. I have been in the hospital for 5 days now. I haven't seen my oldest daughter since Tuesday morning before school. But today is Saturday and there's finally some downtime in the hustle & bustle of life that goes on in the outside world and today my children get to come visit me! They are on their way here as I type! Since I am so far away from home, it will take them quite some time to get here though. These past five days feel like an eternity and it just makes me crazy to think how long I could be here. I know that I should be more and more proud for each day that I am here because that means little Johnny is going to be better off the longer I hold him inside to grow. I miss my family and my home. People in prison are allowed and able to do more than I can here. I am very confined. It's sad. I actually can understand why people who spend a long time in the hospital loose their will to live. It's no way to live, that's for sure! I feel a little sleepy. I know it will be a while before the family gets here, maybe I should try to sneak in a little nap. Actually, Saturday traffic probably isn't too bad, it may not take them long after all. My headaches are getting worse everyday. I don't know what that's all about. They've upped me to taking Tylenol 3 for my headaches. I don't think it's helping either though. They haven't given me anything for my headache since last night though, so I guess I need to ask next time I see the nurse. Tomorrow I will be 30 weeks pregnant. Grow Johnny grow!
