While I was on bed rest, I tried to make light of the situation and document what was going on by taking a picture a day (or at least trying to). So here are some of the pictures I took that will hopefully give you a little glimpse into what my life was like from a MGH hospital bed!
Friday, November 16th…..The night we found out my amniotic sac had ruptured…. We were nervous and scared and thought that I was going to deliver within days.
Getting the first of many non-stress tests done.
Saturday morning…. Walking back from the bathroom with my IV of antibiotics
Ben sent me this picture of Nyla and Jade to try to cheer me up……Those faces can always make me smile
View of the Charles from my second room on Ellison 13
At least I was able to enjoy beautiful sunsets
The day I was granted wheel chair privileges- Ben and I enjoyed some pastries and hot chocolate/coffee out on the grounds
It was a little chilly outside so we made our way into one of the lounge areas
One of my daily non stress tests. The orange number is Harrison's heart rate, and the green number tracks my contractions…. No contractions that day!
My Thanksgiving day turkey lunch with cranberry juice
Freshly painted nails…. With a blue finger nail for our strong little boy
Our friends Mark and Hayley were so gracious and brought us Thanksgiving dinner….. It was delicious and totally put my lunchtime turkey dinner to shame!
Ben excited about the turkey dinner!
The view from our 3rd room on the Labor & Delivery unit.
Getting my non-stress test done on the Labor & Delivery unit….. Little did we know we were going to be meeting our son a few hours later!
Up next….. The day (or early morning) that Harrison arrived!
