Memoirs of a House Wife: Another Uneventful Day in L&D

Another Uneventful Day in L&D

Today consisted of breakfast, shower, crochet, lunch, crochet, internet, completion of my 24 hour urine (no more peeing in my toilet bucket) and dinner.

Tomorrow evening I will get the Cervidil and get this party started. Until then, I'll have another uneventful day tomorrow.

That's all that's happening here in New Mex.

P.S.
I'm starting to think that they are keeping me here to MAKE SURE I'm doing my bedrest. Do they have camera's in my house or something???
