Today was the day that Olivia was due to be born and last week seemed like a lifetime away. I took the day off work as we needed to support each other after the tricky day before. We walked in to the hospital expecting the worst but were pleasantly surprised to see her sleeping well and smiles on the nurses faces. She had had a good nights sleep and had two poohy nappies which was music to our ears!
The doctors did their rounds and seemed much happier with her, the amount of fluid being drained was falling slowly and she seemed happy. The blood tests were looking good so we were pleased. Within half an hour we had moved rooms again out of the high dependency ward on to close observation where everything seemed much more relaxed with a sense of normality.
Olivia was less than impressed with the protective boards on her arms as it meant she couldn't suck her fingers or hold our hands but they were needed for access for fluids and blood tests. We had lots of cuddles and all was well when we left her late evening. Fingers crossed for another day like today! It ended with a lovely meal at Tim and Laura's,
