All good things
So when they went into surgery, they found that it wasn't another stricture but an adhesion--which meant that they didn't have to cut into the intestines but on the outside of it... SOOooo we wouldn't have to wait so long for her to eat again since her intestines didn't have to heal. woot!
Long story short, Lauren and I are in our OWN room and out of the NICU! She is eating fairly well now and off the IV completely. If things continue to go well, then we should be home Wednesday or Thursday!
I can tell she feels so much better. She is all smiles. So sweet! I can't wait 'til i can get this little booger home.
Other than that exciting news, there's not a whole lot going on. I feel like i just say the same things over and over to everybody, so that's why I'm not more detailed on here today. I get tired of repeating myself. I'm glad we're almost past this. Past all the scary stuff and onto the good. I'm ready to be a normal, boring family again. I'd like to leave the drama for the TV shows that I've been watching... ON THE INTERNET!
Yes, I discovered hulu.com, and I love it. It's kept me sane in this hospital room. Well, as sane as I can be sleeping on a crappy pull-out chair bed and being woken up every hour or so by nurses. argh. I think that whoever designs these stupid chair beds has never slept an entire night on them. They're horrible! I can't wait to be in my own bed again! Oh, and sleep number beds? not so cool. a glorified air mattress. thumbs down! pffft! (that was me sticking my tongue out at it, by the way.)
I've had some pretty weird dreams since I've been here:
1) I dreamed that President Obama was ice skating... in a pink tutu type dress.
2) I dreamed that someone broke into my explorer and stole my radio (which is weird b/c it's a factory model). And then when I checked the rest of the car to make sure nothing else was stolen, I discovered that they were using the cargo area of my car to make a porn movie. I opened the door, and the lady's like, "You'll have to wait until we're done." and I'm like, "THIS IS MY CAR! WHAT THE CRAP?!"
3) I dreamed that I was driving around in a car with Jason Mraz, and we crashed a wedding reception and ate their cake. Then, he kissed me and gave me a top hat. And he kept saying stuff that reminded me of Andrew which made me sad and miss him.
Lauren is asleep with her mouth gaping open. It's pretty cute. She is such a cute baby.
I'm ready to go home.
