There is a white board. Under "special needs" the nurses wrote "Stay pregnant :)" because that is how we joke in the perinatal surveillance unit.
Anyway me and the baby made it to 34 weeks, 6 days, which will significantly reduce NICU time so I'm pleased and can get excited about getting THE FUCK OUT OF THE HOSPITAL and also having my wee baby.

Outside there are trees, which are like very tall vegetables, and shiny metal animals with glowing eyes that you get inside of to go places.

Gosh, there really IS a Nathalie Dee cartoon for everything.
Natalie Dee had a baby at 33 or 34 weeks because of preeclampsia so that is extra appropriate.

I wasn't going to post the link to that story until AFTER your birth but know that I dearly dearly wanted to. I'm glad we're on the same wavelength there.

I've read it (and Jessica Valenti's story) about 1000 times since I learned of my particular complication, mostly because the stories had happy endings.

I've been meaning to come here, and have just caught up with what day it is and been reading about how you couldn't even go outside all this time!!! All the best!
