Update on things 4/27
Dad update: Dad is currently at home getting hospice care there. He lives in a hospital bed on the main level of the house. A nurse comes out several times a week to help mom with whatever she needs as well as restock any supplies she needs.
Dad gets a fever quite frequently (daily or almost daily). Mom keeps on top of things and keeps it under control. The doc's don't have any idea why he has the fever (can't find the source of the infection).
Dad's dimentia sometimes gets the better of him. Most of the time he has his wits about him. He has had times where he can't remember anything from about 1960 onward. He met and married my mom in the mid 60's. It's sad to think that he doesn't know who she is at times. Mom is an AMAZING woman!!!

Pregnancy update: I went in to my midwife today (34 weeks 2 days). Well... I have good news and bad news. The good news is I'm still pregnant and the baby is head down. The bad news is I've been contracting a TON and they are starting to dilate me. I'm 3cm dilated and 60% effaced (thinned out). I am hoping I can get to Mother's Day weekend where I will be 36 weeks. I could sure use some prayers about now. Contractions have been pretty consistant around 7 min apart since my appt. I've been trying everything I am aware of to get them to chill out but have yet to make a dent.
As I said... Prayers are not just welcomed but NEEDED and appreciated. I need to bake this little girl a bit longer. I don't want her to have to spend any time in the NICU. I've been there and done that. I totally hate having to leave a hospital without the baby I went in there with.

Don't judge a book by its cover!
I can't embed this video so you will have to click on the link.
Great example of what happens when you judge someone based on their appearance.
