A Little Worried

I did get a little worried the other day! On Wednesday I met up with a friend for lunch and thought I was having some contraction but nothing regular. We went for a walk and enjoyed the beautiful day. Then that after noon I went with my dad and Taylor to Canton Lake for some boating (hopefully to bounce the kid out). I hadn't really felt the kid move all day, vary little if any. So I went home to relax and see if it would wake up and still nothing. It has a routine where it wakes up at about 6am when daddy's getting home and NOTHING! I drank some water to see if it would move but there was only like three moves and it quit. So I was getting nervous. I called my Dr.'s office and they told me to come in.

We did! They gave the baby a none stress test. That's were they hook you up to the machine that measures the heart beat of the baby and to see if I was having contractions. At first she couldn't find a good heart beat. She did eventually! Right before she left she used this vibrator that's supposed to get a reaction out of the baby. Well let me tell you she it the kid perfectly on the butt and it did not like that!! It's heart rate JUMPED and it FREAKED out! She asked if either of us had a temper? Blake NO!! She let us know that it would eventually calm down and go back to normal and she would be back to check up on me in 10-15 min. Well when she returned it just started to calm back down. "OH it really didn't like that!" It did go back to a normal rate and they said everything was good. We got to see the Dr. who realized that I wasn't supposed to be there that day. I explained everything and he said that at the end babies will sleep more when their preparing to come out. But it was good to call 'cuz there is still that chance of still births. I wanted him to check me. Why not lets see if I've changed at all? He said he'd definitely would call me at 2cm. He also stripped my membranes. We hope that that will encourage contractions. He said if I wanted to be induced he's be fine with that since I've shown enough progress. I told him lets give it 'till after my due date and see. I will probably go in on Tuesday if this kid isn't here by then!
