Had a nice morning with my mom and Sadie. We actually went to the mall. I'm in a clothing rut because I can't wear pre-baby pants yet, and maternity stuff is too big. Problem solved, thank you Lululemon. I've never been good at making decisions, but since all of this has started, my mind has been only on Ryan and Sadie and everything else has to wait. I'm hoping that slowly, with more mall trips/grocery store trips/everyday essentials, I'll be able to force my mind to start working again. Things with Ryan will be constantly up and down, so I guess I have to learn to "compartmentalize" everything, especially once Sadie rejoins us at our house. My road to recovery is going well - I feel physically almost back to normal, thank goodness.... so I don't think I'll need the doctor recommended 6 weeks to recover. Phewwf. Now it's time to get the ol' brain back in working order.
No Ryan news to report yet. He had a good night, according to the nurse. We're heading downtown this afternoon for a few hours. I've started putting my hand on him more - it calms him. As soon as I touch him, his heart rate lowers and he calms down. Makes it hard to leave and hard not to see him. I even got to give him some milk on a q-tip which he really liked.
Happy Mother's day weekend to all my mom friends (and of course my own mom). Our Sunday will be a family visit to see Ryan, and if I can tear myself away from him, perhaps a lunch out near the hospital.
I'm glad you are almost recovered and that Ryan had a good night! Happy Mother's day to YOU momma!!
