The move

Which hospitals did we prefer? How were we to know? Our options were closer to home or farther from home. We picked closer but in the end we ended up at the farther away one. Reason being was the closer one was only willing to take the baby once he was born, for their NICU dept. So our Dr. came back said "the closer one isn't an option anymore we need you to deliver at the hospital where your baby will be, it will be best for both of you. We want to send you by helicopter but the weather is too questionable for that, so you'll go by ambulance"
   Then chaos ensued, I wish I could remember every detail, every moment as it all happened, instead I have a very warped memory on it. Sure I remember almost everything but it was so foggy and out of this world to me, it is so hard to explain. So put it this way, most of this story is from my perspective so when something sounds over dramatic or crazy or just doesn't really make sense, then I'll know I did a good job of documenting my thoughts at that time lol.
  Once a hospital was picked they hooked me up to magnesium to help keep my blood pressure stable and lower my risk for a stroke or seizure. Anyone who has ever been on magnesium would never forget it, it's an awful drug it turns your thoughts foggy, makes everything super blurry and hard to focus in on, and slows down your reflexes. When the magnesium kicked in I really wanted to just sleep it was too hard to look at anyone because I just couldn't focus my eyes on anything. Before we left they gave me the first of two steroid shots, to help Isaac's lungs to develop,  those conveniently were given in the upper thigh, not fun. Did I mention yet that I hate needles? They then put a second I.V.in for the next hospital, so I was ready if I had to go to surgery upon arrival. Lastly they put a catheter in so I wouldn't have to worry about potty breaks, I told them I'd rather hold it, to that I was told I'd need one for surgery anyways. The OB nurse and OB dr. both decided to ride in the ambulance with me, I was so warm I kept wanting to sleep, which they said I could, well then I couldn't fall asleep lol, every few minutes they would take my blood pressure and if it was too high they would put a b.p. med in my i.v. to lower it, at one point it went too low so they had to give me an IV med to bring it back up. Just the look on the faces was troublesome, they were so solemn. When we got close to the Hospital's town the ambulance turned on the lights and sirens, "Am I still ok" I squeaked out? Thankfully the answer was yes this was just to get through town quicker with the stoplights. However then I thought of Matt as he was following me, what would he think, would he know I'm still ok? Again luckily he was 15 minutes behind us and never saw the lights.
We arrived at the hospital, they took my stretcher and me out of the ambulance and brought me inside, the nurse got back in the ambulance, the Dr. paused looking solemn still and gave me a nod of approval and told me " Good luck, I'll be thinking about you" and then walked back to the ambulance. There I lay feeling the comradeship of a team and knowing that I was about to start the next leg of my adventure with completely different people.
