Day 24

Today is day 24.

I feel like I am going to go crazy due to the pain.

I haven't been able to sleep through the night for a couple nights now due to contractions.

I went into labor and delivery two nights ago and had to get another round of shots to get my contractions to stop. They were coming every 2 minutes- or faster.

The doctor gave me sleep/pain medicine for nights, and pain medicine for the day. Only problem is- they are awful! They make me feel even more disgusting, and they make me itch. So then I have to take an antihistamine. All that medication has to be bad for the baby, and I refuse to take all of that on a daily basis. I can't even describe what it feels like, but sometimes I think my body is literally going to break in half.

As I sit here in tears, I am thinking of the blessing Dane gave me this morning.

As I sit here and type this I know that the Savior experienced all that I am feeling.

I know that with faith, prayer and a lot of hot baths I can make it.

I can do hard things.{right?}

5 more days before I can get up and walk, clean, and shop my way into dilation.
