My silly Sadie girl

Ok.

So I went this morning for the second in a series of non-stress tests, which “looked great” according to the midwife.  This little one is so active they were having trouble getting a good read on her.  She kept kicking the monitor and squirming away to where it couldn’t pick up her heartbeat.  I had to press the monitor into my belly hard enough that it took a couple of hours for the marks to fade out totally.  Silly baby.

The monitoring setup the practice has is really nice.  They’ve got seriously comfy recliners, and the monitors they use don’t require you to do anything.  I’ve read about setups where you have to push a button when you feel movement, but with this one you just lay back and relax and listen to the little one.  I can’t doze through it, though, because it jerks me awake every time she kicks the thing.  It makes an awful noise when she does that!

Went for an ultrasound last Tuesday...no immediate gratification results from this one, since it wasn’t with a doc, but I was told that she got a perfect score on the biophysical profile portion of the thing and got those gorgeous pics of her.  She looks so much like her daddy.  Unfortunately, her daddy missed the u/s, because I didn’t know it was going to be that thorough, but he’ll get another peek at our last level 2 at the end of the month.  And there is the possibility that I’ll get more pics from the weeklies...the tech told me that I’d be seeing her each time.  Yay!  She’s a total sweetie, and she was so patient with our very active little girl. 

I want to talk about the hospital tour, too, but that will have to be in another post.  My hands and wrists are so stiff and sore that typing much at any one time is sort of a drag at this point.  So I’ll save that for later, but I will say that I’m very pleased with the setup.

I’m right on the verge of getting impatient for this child to arrive.
