It's Sunday Nov 15, 2009. I'm sitting in a hospital writing this hub. See it all started when I had an ultrasound done. I'm 28 weeks pregnant. I was starting to bleed with contractions. So next thing I was in an ambulance being rushed to Boston Hospital. I was hooked up to monitors and an IV in my hand. I was in Labor and Delivery Unit, then later I was moved to Maternal Special Care Unit. It's really a nice hospital here. The staff is really awesome. They even let my boyfriend stay and sleepover night which is really good. I don't know anyone who lives in Boston to shelter him. Because without the love and support from him, I don't think I could have done this alone. He has been so understanding and by my side through this all. They have room service here. I get to order whatever I want. My friend has care of my 14 year old daughter which I'm happy about this. They tell me I will be here for 7 days. But my progress is doing really good so I might be able to leave Monday. I hope if not that's fine too. They will let me go when I'm ready. My room is cool too. I have a huge window to look out of. I think the funniest thing is if you look out my window, You can see this huge brown teddy bear. We took a pic of it and we plan on putting it in Kristina's baby album. I signed alot of consent forms and filled out a proxy too. Just in case anything happens. I have been taking showers everyday. Plus they let my boyfriend do it to. I just talked to the doctor and I might be going home Monday or Tuesday. So I'm really happy about that. There is no place like home. But when I get home I'm on bed rest. That means no cooking, cleaning ,doing laundry, food shopping or going for walks. Which I love to do.I know this is going to be very hard on me. Because I love the outdoors and plus doing things for myself. But if that's what it takes to keep me and the baby healthy,then so be it I will just have to get over it.. So I guess in conclusion, baby and me are doing fine. I know I will have alot of support from my boyfriend and my 14 year old daughter. And plus there is another positive outlook to it. My boyfriend recently went back to smoking,and I talked to him about what it's doing to me. The cigarettes smell is making me sick to my stomach and giving me a headache. So he agreed to stop smoking. It also is starting to effect my asthma at times. So he is not going to endanger my health or even the baby's health for that matter. I know and understand it will be hard for him to stop . He knows I'm here to help him in anyway I can,plus give him all the support he needs. I know you can do it Scott. I guess I'm just very lucky to have a boyfriend like him,that loves me so much and cares for me too. When this is all over and the baby is born, I'm going to do something very special for him. I Love You Scott thanks for all you have done. I would do the same for you. And I have to say my 14 year old daughter has been really awesome through all of this. I understand it must be hard on her with me in Boston and her with my friend. I Love You Melissa I'm really proud of you. You have been a big trooper through all this.
