Well it's day 6 of being in captivity. Things are pretty much the same as they were the day I came in. No bleeding, blood pressure is great. They are doing twice daily NSTs on the baby and she's doing great. It's tough to be here when I feel completely fine. People keep telling me that they don't know how I'm handling this so well. I honestly don't either, but I guess the saying about not knowing how strong you are until being strong is your only option, or something like that, is true. It does no good to cry all day and be sad. That won't make the time pass faster. I also credit my personality type to my success in not going crazy. I'm generally not an emotional or overly sensitive person. For once these are strengths instead of awkward quirks. I miss my kids so much much this isn't for forever.
Speaking of my kids, Aaron is having them clean their room and I think we've discovered Ethan has some hoarding tendencies. He keeps getting stuff out of the trash and stashing it places. This makes me laugh because I'd probably be doing the same thing if I were at home right now. Noah is chanting "throw it away" and it's sent Ethan off the deep end. Oh ya gotta love those kids.
I want a Starbucks....so close, yet so far.
I love that you call not being overly sensitive and emotional "awkward quirks" because I have those same awkward quirks and I'm learning to love them. I'm glad you're feeling great even though it's harder to lay around and do nothing when you're used to doing everything. Would love to leave you with something witty or funny but that's just not happening tonight! Praying.
