Today was a rest day after the excitement and fun of celebrating our Allie!
We did reach 31.5 weeks this afternoon so that is a blessing. Though mostly a quiet day, I did have 2 pieces of good news:
First, though they won't check Little Buddy's actual growth for 2 more weeks, they did check mine today. According to the weight check, I have gained a little over 4 pounds in the 10 full days I've been here. We are hoping that all of that is going to Little Buddy and that he is putting on pounds and ounces continually!!
Also, I talked with the OB doctor on call today who is actually the same doctor who admitted late that 1st night I came in and they are counting from April 4, it being 10 full days since I came in. She stated that the 10 full days he has stayed in saves him around 30 days of time in the NICU!! So 10 full days in my tummy saves about a month of time in the NICU! That was such good news to hear!
Because Brent was here with me today, I even got to go outside in the wheelchair for a little while too. That always makes me feel a little better to be outside for even a few minutes! I'm so thankful when Brent is here, he always takes me outside each day for a little break from the hospital walls!
Thanking the Lord for another half-week gone by, a little rest and the good news we did get today!
