Moving Upstairs

I'm writing this post at 6:30AM instead of 4ish because I "slept in," yeehaw!  I'm likely, as a result, to feel a little less lonely and sedentary than I did yesterday (a generally low energy day).

Nurse is here and I'm on the monitor, because baby's heartrate is high--previously we worried about low rates, but it turns out anything other than what she's been doing consistently for two weeks is potential cause for concern. We'll see what happens.

I read two completely different novels this week with one intriguing thread between them--babies who were taken, albeit not for sinister reasons, from their families.  I recommend both M.L. Stedman's The Light Between Oceans and Khaled Hosseini's And the Mountains Echoed.

I will check back in later to let you know our status.  I'm being moved up to Labor and Delivery for more monitoring.
