Had another uneventful night! 4 days down hopefully many more to go! Yahoo! I thought I would do a post early today because it sounds like I'm headed to the University of Washington hospital today. It seems so silly that my insurance company and not my doctors can determine where my care should take place. I just have to continue to trust that this is just one more thing in part of God's plan to make sure that our baby and I are in the place we are supposed to be. I have met really amazing people here at Swedish and I will be forever grateful that they were here to help and encourage me the last 4 days. I'm sure these last 4 days have not been the hardest part but so far it has been the scariest and with out the encouragement of these awesome people I think that I would have been significantly more emotional than I have been!
I thought it might be fun to show you a few pictures from the view from my bed here at Swedish since I will have a new view later today. This picture is from Friday when my parents brought Makenna over to visit. She must have found this room pretty comfortable to because one of the first things she did was take her socks and shoes off and made herself at home.
She even took a nap with me. My sweet baby girl!
On Saturday she took over Nick's murphy bed. She thought she was pretty cool having a big bed all to herself.
She did however decide to share with Nick for a while to. Gotta love the goldfish in the pink basin.
A happy baby (top line) + quiet uterus (bottom line) = Happy Mama!
This little guy is from my nurse friends in Ellensburg. He helps to remind me why I'm doing what I'm doing and it's so cheerful I can't help but smile everytime I see it! If baby comes early this little guy is going to keep her company in the NICU.
A magazine, a new book to read, and my laptop. What else could a girl ask for?
Do you see that blinding light? I got to wake up to blue sky and SUNSHINE in SEATTLE today! It's a rare occurance in February and I'm thrilled to get to see it. My view is actually pretty cool to. I get to look out onto Harbor View Medical Center. It's been fun to watch the helicopters come in and take off several times a day.
I'll update as the excitement of my transfer to UW winds down today. :o)

So glad you could spend some time with Makenna--I'll bet she misses her mommy! We've been praying for you and the baby, and your healthcare providers, and are hoping all goes well. Enjoy the Hunger Games; I hear it's a great read. If you haven't read The Help yet, that's a page-turner, too.
Thanks for the continued updates Reba :). You are loved, you are strong. So is your baby. Hugs!
Reba, so good to read that you and baby are doing ok. Way to go to keep your attitude up, I'm sure it is hard with all that is going on. You are in my thoughts and prayers. You are amazing - I felt goose bumps as I read about your experience thus far. I know that you are being watched over and cared for...and not just by your medical staff. Heavenly Father loves you and Nick, Makenna and your new little baby. We love you!
