Hello!

Were finally home... bub still safely in belly We were finally discharged today after 3 night in hosp. As my DH said, they kidney stent all went fine. I had a spinal block in the end so it was much safer for bub! Blooooody hurt though! I was suppose to be home that night but they wanted to keep me in cause i started to have a lot of braxtin hicks... once i was transfered to the ward and i started to get feeling back in my legs i was in so much pain so they sent a midwife down with the doppler to check on bub and bub was fine but the BH turned into full contractions so they took us straight to the delievery suite and hooked me up to the monitors and i was having contractions every 3-4 mins!

We thought it was all on!! This went on for about 7hrs but they never progressed closer or stronger so the next morning my ob came in and said we shoudl stay another night and see how we go.... and well it kept happening til last night and finally home today Our ob said that he thinks it was an 'irritable uterus' stirred up from the op and the stress of the last few days.... the midwives and all the hosp staff were sensational!! we were looked after so well, had a beautiful private suite with a double bed in the mat ward so DH never left my side

A few hrs after i popped in here to tell you the sad news about DH's mum (the morning of my op), my dad was rushed by ambulance to hospital! He was put in an induced coma in ICU with pneumonia and septicemia! He was critical and they told my mum that they werent sure if he would make it! It was the most horrific 24hrs we have been thru!! Thank god - he is doing well! They took him out of the coma yesterday and he is stable! He is a very lucky man!!!

And back to bub news - we had to have a scan today and bub is now measuring est size of 7lb 15oz! What a little porky for 36 wks BUT my kidney has got worse again, stent doesnt appeared to have done a thing! and so bad that bub will be born on Monday via c-section!! So many emotions! Scared that bub isnt ready, excited to meet bub, disappointed that my kidney is still sick! So surreal we will parents on Monday! OMG! Ob examined me today and my cervix is till jammed shut and very firm so he feels that after all the trauma my body has been thru this week - my sick kidney and the fact that my cervix is closed, that a caesar would be a lot safer. We trust him so its all going ahead! Ideally i wish we could get another week but he said its far too risky that my kidney could give up so we dont have a lot of choices!

Sorry for the HUGE me post, but i think thats pretty much up to dated you with the last few days! Sorry if it doesnt all make sense, i have only had a few hrs sleep so i will be back tomorrow after im less zombie like!
