Leaving RMH & hopefully not back for 12+ wks....

Well, this morning Dr. Jurgens (another OB Dr. in our clinic) came to see me & told me everything looks great. He wants to wait until my culture comes back which he thinks will be tomorrow morning. He just wants to make sure everything is negative & if it isn't negative at least we've already treated me for 48 hours on all the antibiotics :-)

Now I sit here at the hospital & was told that the lab results just came in. All tests were negative!!! I love good news...haven't had a lot of it lately. So...I'm going home. Dr. Jurgens says I need to be an incubator for the next 12+ weeks, because I'm the best thing for the baby. No machine that they have here in the hospital does a better job than the Mom. In other words I am to lay around, go to the bathroom, take a shower & to visit my OB doctor weekly. Dr. Jurgens says the more I sit & stand the more pressure on the baby. He wants me laying at an incline or laying completely flat.

For the next 12+ weeks I'll be reading a lot of books, watching lots of movies, some online shopping & hope to see lots of you visiting :-) I love visitors!!!

Thanks everyone for all your thoughts & prayers. They were very helpful. Next year we will be celebrating the 4th of July with our little girl, Jordan. That's what makes us excited!

Have a great weekend.
Love xoxoxo,

Glad you got to go home. I'll keep you in my prayers. I will try to stop over and visit and help with anything you may need. If there is anything we can do please let us know.
Love you guys,
