I got the first taste of how tough this process will be, yesterday, when the Attending doctor made the decision to move me back downstairs to the 5th Floor Birthing Center, out of Antepartum, and closer to the OR. This was not the comforting decision that I wanted to hear. So far, everyone had been so positive about our progress and this was the first reality check that there are still very real risks involved in my condition for both me and the baby.
As an athlete, I know how to "Go Hard or Go Home" - my dad's mantra. But, this kind of mental toughness is so different. I can't actively do anything other than try to stay positive, eat well and rest.... AND THINK. The calls, emails, texts and visits have been so great to keep me on track - thank you to everyone!!
I rely on all the support that is pouring in from so many directions and really helps me stay positive. We can do this, Skipper!!

This escaped me for three/four days. I am thinking of you all and willing to provide support, comic relief, or any other assistance you may need. Leigh, glad to see you today and keep on keepin' on... you are doing great!
